MP3 Snap Bracelet

mp3-snap-bracelet.jpg

Sorry... it has nothing to do with those oh so cool, straight and colorful pieces of plastic from the early nineties that turned into a bracelet when you whacked it against your wrist. The MP3 Snap Bracelet is a design concept by Design Continuum that won bronze 2005 IDEA awards in the Design Explorations category.

This concept allows the user to operate the functions of the device with the flick of a wrist. The bracelet then talks to the wireless earphones to give you feedback of you actions. Continue reading for some of the other MP3 related winners.

iRiver iFP1000 MP3 Digital Camera

iriver-ifp1000.jpg Designed by Innodesign, the iRiver iFP1000 won a silver award in the Consumer Products category. The camera is housed on the side of the player which pops out when in use and can also be rotated 180 degrees for a self portrait. It never caught on with its 0.3 megapixel camera and 512MB of space. But hey, the award was for design.

JBL OnTour

I have heard these in person and they I was surprised at the sound they could create from such a small form factor. The design allows you to have them fold up within its hard shell when you are not using them. The shell, when folded out becomes the other half of the speakers, creating another smooth well designed entity. These were designed by the company itself, Harmon Multimedia.

The energy source is your body. So to recharge it...walking and running are good ways to do that.

If you flip your wrist to the right, it forwards to the next song...
If you flip your wrist to the left, it repeats the song...
If you flip it forward, it stops the song....
If you flip it backwards, it plays the radio...
if you flip it twice to the right, it goes to the next song.

Can you imagine seeing people doing all this flipping? WOW!


by the way....I'm just joking..I have no clue about this product.

Midget on June 17, 2006 1:59 PM

won't the it move around when you are walking or running? this might mea that you change the song by accident a lot.

    The Samsung P2 has been gaining quite a following lately and rightfully so. If you are looking for something well designed, innovative, and feature packed; you should look into this full touch screen wonder. The Bluetooth feature set is what I find to be the most intriguing, with the ability to tether to your phone to make calls or wirelessly transfer with no restrictions to other P2s. Check out the review or stop by our ever growing P2 forums to get the latest info.

  • Toshiba Gigabeat T400

    The Gigabeat T400 is without a doubt my favorite flash player at the moment. It does have one major setback in that it only comes in a 4GB, shame on you Toshiba. What makes me love this player is it's ultra slick sexy design, very easy- just pick up and use interface, and killer sound quality that would make Cowon users envious. This player is a must buy for anyone who sports a premium set of headphones. Full review to come but you should really just buy one.

  • SanDisk Sansa Clip
    SanDisk Sansa Clip

    The Clip has a fantastic little form factor; cheap in build quality but very rugged. The interface is simple and relatively straight forward. The features on the clip are more or less average, mostly identical to the Sansa Express. However, what earns this player a spot in Editor’s Choice is the superb sound quality; you will not find another player at this size and price that can match it. Read the full review or go ahead and buy it.

  • Cowon iAudio D2
    Cowon iAudio D2

    The D2 is a fantastic sounding PMP with a very nice looking screen and a tone of features. One of the best features of the D2 is the SDHC slot allowing you to add another 32GB to this small wonder. The touch interface does not lend well to on the move operation, but it is not enough to keep it from being an editor’s choice. You can find usually find it at Amazon for the best price and before to check out the review.

    JAYS q-JAYS

    The q-JAYS are great in ear phones. They offer excellent clarity, silky treble, realistic midrange, and a nice bass response. They're comfortable, incredibly tiny, and come with a huge selection of accessories. While they certainly are analytic phones, they're still fun to listen to. The q-JAYS respond well to EQing, and can be tweaked to fit almost anyone's sound preference. Recommended for anyone owning a good sounding player and well encoded audio files. Check out our review.
