Alyce Santoro and Julio Cesar offer men's ties made from recycled cassette tapes. Rather than just offering retro - and eco - appeal, the ties have a very unusual feature.

Made from 50% tape cassette tape and 50% polyester thread, it seems the tape retains some audio information - at least enough to be played via a hand-made reader.

Hit play on the video above to see a walk-through of how to make such a device from an old Walkman (complete with creepy sounds) while the ties are available in various designs at Supermarket for $90 each.

Thanks to Chris for the tip.

When we clapped eyes on this Hannah Montana special edition of the Sony Walkman E-series Walkman, we knew it was something we had to get our grubby hands on.

Sony has partnered with Disney to bring out this limited edition Hannah Montana MP3 player in an unmistakable bright pink colour, with its laser engraved Hannah Montana signature and motif.

It comes in a presentation case that doubles as a jewellery box, with a mirror inside the lid. There are three drawers for all your stuff, with the Hannah Montana Walkman sitting in one, and the funky padded case residing in the other.

The E-series Walkman features a 2-inch QVGA colour screen, FM radio and comes in a 4GB capacity and will give you about 30 hours of music playback.

Available exclusively from Argos, Sony.co.uk and Sony Centres, it will be on sale from 15 October, and will set you back ?99.99.
