The company well-known for building those plastics bricks, LEGO, is to take on the MP3 Player market.

LEGO has has been hard at work establishing its NXT robotics line of technologies. The line has proved so successful thus far that LEGO is to expand the line by providing LEGO variations of cameras, MP3 players, and boomboxes, as you might suspect, all in LEGO.

Kevin Hall of DVICE got the opportunity to get a hands-on glimpse ft the camera and MP3 player, both pictured above.  Unfortunately, these are merely non-working, empty prototypes (as you can see by the pictured MP3 player).

Don’t expect these devices to pack a punch after all, they’re meant for kids. However, who’s to say that those big kids at heart can’t enjoy them either? Both devices hook up to your computer with a USB cable, and have a lithium battery inside. The MP3 player comes equipped with an internal storage of  2 GB of memory – not all that shabby.

Both devices will see release in the Autumn for $50 and $40 for the camera and MP3 Player respectively.
