Commodore brand may be bought for MP3 players

US firm Yeahronimo Media Ventures is expected to buy the Commodore brand from Dutch owner Tulip Computers and may release retro-branded MP3 players.

Of course owning an Apple iPod is kinda cool, but how cool would it be to own a Commodore 64 MP3 player?

Well, the legendary computer brand may soon be the latest to compete in the digital music space. US based Yeahronimo Media Ventures are expected to buy the Commodore brand off its current owners, a Dutch company called Tulip Computers.

It is likely they will primarily try to cash in on the growing popularity of the retro computer games associated with the Commodore, but word is Yeahronimo, who already produce a line of MP3 players, plan to release a new range under the retro brand.

And who knows, as mad as it sounds a Commodore MP64 might just capture the imagination of the slightly-sad nostalgic eighties-child

(I know this slightly-sad nostalgic eighties-child wants one).
