ON A tight budget, not brand-conscious, but still want music on the go?
A home-grown company has come up with what it is pitching as a cheap alternative to Apple's tiniest digital music player, the iPod Shuffle.
The Kube, made by consumer electronics firm Bluetree Electronics, is half the size of the thumb and can hold 2GB worth of music, or up to 500 songs. The 18g device sells for $34.90.
