RCA’s new MP3 player is known as the Pearl, and it comes with a built-in USB connector for easy file transfer without having to worry about cables. There is a plain old monochrome LCD display in front, displaying essential information like battery life and track title. The looks are truly nothing much to shout about, so it makes a great last-minute present for kids. It will come in 1GB and 2GB capacities, retailing for $39 and $48 respectively, so having your tiny terror break his won’t really hurt your wallet. I’m sorry to say but judging from the specifications, this utilitarian Pearl won’t shine in terms of looks, but it is a very workman-like MP3 player that caters toward the budget conscious.
