The Buddha Machine is an "anti-iPod" of sorts. It's an inexpensive-looking small box that plays nine different drones (FM3 loops) through either the headphone jack, or the integrated speaker. A toggle switch allows the user to cycle through the short loops, which will play continuously for hundreds of hours on a single pair of AA batteries (included with purchase). And if the batteries do run out, the box even has a plug for DC power. The box is totally self-contained, and the onboard RAM cannot be modified (sounds like a challenge!). The box is available in six different colors (shipped randomly); it is manufactured by a Buddhist-run factory in southern China.
