MP3 Snap Bracelet
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
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
Another silver award worth mentioning is the JBL OnTour portable speaker system. 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.

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