01/20/2010, The unimaginatively named Micro Sport MP3 Player 2 from Thanko now sports an in-ear audio system that ditches the traditional need for earphones, but otherwise the design remains pretty similar with its predecessor, featuring a couple of parts with the main body including 4GB of internal memory and a detachable earphone.
