HOW TO - Make a miniMinty MP3

Minty Red
Make your own miniMinty MP3 player - "...we set out to design the successor to Minty MP3. How about if it fits in an Altoids gum tin? What if it charges its internal Lithium Ion Polymer battery over USB and mounts itself as a Mass Storage Device? And if it runs for 12+ hours on a full charge, looking slick all the while? We built it. They bought it. And so should you. " - Link.

Maybe I'm just grouchy today. A link to an MP3 player that I can't buy, that I can't buy a kit for, that I can't buy a bare board for, that I can't even get the files to get the PCB made for. So it's basically an entry for "unobtanium."
