Cool MP3 Toy

mhh5 writes "Check out this faux cassette..." And, to add some info to that, the link is for an MP3 player that's in the shape of a cassette and can be used in cassette players as well. A very creative idea. Though, I think the price needs to come down.

  • things that make you go hmmmmmm....

    I have to wonder how real this product is. The web site is only a single page with absolutely no contact information and the only link present takes you to some shaddy looking online ordering site. The pictures depict a very well designed and polished product and I can only imagine the R&D costs it would take to manufacturer something like that.

    Me thinks it is simply a portable cd player to tape converter with a fancy new skin ( a la Photoshop ) and a set of ear phones plugged into the line-in jack. All for the bargain price of $250.

      Hmmmm. You're probably right. But it's a totally feasible product even if it's vaporware, isn't it? It should be anyway...
