Meet Pala-Chan, Toshiba's cutesy aquatic mascot that will soon be representing the company's mobile peripheral and accessory line. First up is the 1GB Pala-Chan digital audio player, which loses it tail to plug into a computer's USB port and load up on MP3 and WMA audio files. Pala-Chan and his pink girlfriend, Papu-Chan, These two digital audio player have a 15-hour battery life and will sell for about $115 (the only whale-sized feature of the MP3 audio player).

Of course, Pala and Papu cannot live on love alone. That's why Toshiba will eventually raise the cost of living and force the lovesick couple to move in with Pala's folks. The names and colors of the parental units, as well as a friend of Pala's, are currently unknown.
