We've seen a few cell phone / watch combos before, but most of them look like someone put a phone and a watch in the microwave, and heated them until they melted together. The Epoq EGP-WP88 is an unlocked quad band GSM phone, with an OLED screen that displays stylish analog watch hands in the normal timekeeping mode, and switches over to display your contact lists during phone operation.
World Vision, an international relief and development organization, announced the release of Nanum charity MP3 player designed by Samgmin Bae. World Vision plans to donate all monies earned to low-income families with children.
This one doesn't have a name. It's just referred to as the «Tactile MP3» player. Why tactile? Simply because the 5 basic controls necessary to master your music are raised bumps, something like braille. The idea is you can control your music all by the sense of touch. Design wise, it's pretty slick, like a dollop of shiny mercury backed by some creamy marshmallow puff. Mmm mmm!
The Spinn from iRiver is taking a unique approach to the MP3 player in what one would assume to be an attempt to topple the mighty kong. The Spinn is a new design that combines the hot and sleek looks of a beautiful, flat 3.2-inch TFT-LCD screen with what seems to be an old and classic (?) analog-toggle wheel for control and user-interaction.
Mustek is testing the waters with an alternative MP3 player form factor with the Freestyle! MP3 headphones. Everything fits in the body of the headphones — no wires, no MP3 player unit in your pocket. Having less mess would be a considerable advantage for people who engage in activities such as jogging or biking and need rugged, less complicated systems. The obvious downside of the Freestyle! unit is if you have a really awesome pair of headphones at the moment you're out of luck, and the unit wouldn't fit any player dock you own.
There's never enough MP3 docks. By now you should have one in the kitchen, media room, shower and even at the office. On the hog is another place that can be scratched off that list with this motorcycle-mounted MP3 dock sound system.
Pasen's iTouch SE is a major design leap from the original iTouch, which many observers agree is a clone of the iPod Touch. Though iTouch SE has suffered a cutback on the screen area from 3.5 inches to 2.83 inches as well as fattened up considerably from a thin 8mm to a substantial 12.5mm we have to give Pasen credit for this clean enamel-finish PMP. The SE's interface, as the video clearly shows, disappoints in many areas. Most importantly, it's the stylus input that turns us off this otherwise fashionable media players. Come on, do they really expect users to pull out a stylus just to play MP3 tunes?
