We know you’ve got questions, and if you’re brave enough to ask the world for answers, here’s the outlet to do so. This week’s Ask Engadget question is coming to us from Cam, who don’t need no stinkin’ app store for his next digital audio player. If you’re looking to send in an inquiry of your own, drop us a line at ask [at] engadget [dawt] com . “I’m getting quite sick of my Sansa Clip, with it deciding when and when it doesn’t want to work.

Back at CES Samsung apparently unveiled this little guy — the TicToc PMP , which seems to be aiming firmly at the iPod shuffle demographic — whatever demographic that is. This little bad boy’s got just one physical button (for power and volume control) while other functions of the player — playback, skipping past songs and the like — are all controlled by shaking. The TicToc will come in 2GB and 4GB varieties, have a supposed battery life of up to 12 hours, and it’ll also have a cute little docking station to go with it. There’s no pricing information yet, but we hear it’ll definitely be available later this year.

The MyFit is a pretty good idea taken unexpectedly to the extreme. A workout player, sure, that’s a good idea. But wait, this doesn’t just count calories, it measures your fat and forcibly tells you to drink water. The MyFit is an 8GB workout player, and while it likely won’t be cheap or durable enough to displace the Sansa Clip+ as my workout player of choice, it’s definitely more feature-packed. It has fat and stress sensors, a customizable exercise management program that selects music based on workout, calorie counter and jogging control—all great.

Clearly, skinny jeans aren’t yet as popular in Korea as they are in Western lands. For if they were, we’d never see chunky cube-shaped players like this S-100 here, and the world would definitely be poorer for it. Taking its design cues from the mesmerizing Mintpass Cube , with a smidgen of old school iPod buttonry, this device boasts a 1.1-inch OLED display, FM radio, built-in speaker, voice recording, and a slightly pedestrian 4GB of integrated memory. No, it’s not exactly sterling value at nearly $170, but we have the suspicion that the S-100 was never targeted at the unimpulsive analytical types anyway.

Cowon has finally made its latest and greatest PMP official, and its spec sheet does not disappoint. Mixing appealing curves with a 4.8-inch display, the V5 HD offers 720p video playback that can be channeled out via HDMI or Composite outputs. On the software front, there’s the usual litany of wide-ranging file compatibility and basic apps — cortesy of Windows CE 6.0 — as well as a world clock, RSS reader, Flash games, voice recorder, and an optional T-DMB tuner . We still don’t know what’s doing the dirty work under the hood, but you won’t be wanting for storage, with integrated memory options up to 32GB being augmented by SDHC expandability. Battery life is rated at 10 hours of video or 45 hours of music, and the Korean landing date is January 1 with prices starting at 299,000 KRW ($256).

Just a few days after iriver’s E30 was spotted doing a domino impression in China we’re happy to say the thing is now making an appearance in American stores — or at Amazon, at least. The smallest of the three couldn’t be bothered to make the trip, leaving only 4GB and 8GB models selling for $59 and $79, respectively. The little 1.8-inch player is just .3-inch thick, supports a plethora of media formats and, with 52 hours of battery life, should let you sample each and every one of them between recharges. It’s a lovely, understated thing and would make a wonderful stocking stuffer — though to be honest it would only really stuff the socks of those with very tiny feet.

The Rad Blaster does what a lot of MP3 players do—like play music, record sounds and store files. But this one does it shaped like a boombox. Like a BOOMBOX people. Rad Blaster also includes a 1.1-inch OLED screen and 2GB of built-in memory.
