    You guys sound smart enough to work at Sony.

    it suffers from some of the same problems people said about the wii.

    but it will most assuredly suck.

    It's....a giant egg.

    How do you put that in your pocket? It looks better suited for suppository storage.

    So that's the market they're trying to reach

    Drug smugglers!

    In you, maybe. That thing is the size of an ostrich egg, but less nutritious.

    Why the hell would a person want to do dance moves to control their MP3 player? Nearly all of the uses of MP3 players are in areas where you can't really do that stuff.

    And places where it could very easily do any of these accidentally.

    A post with more substance, this time.

    Sony employs awesome fucking scientists, with neat ideas. I miss the weird Sony products with tiny markets that were, say, a robot dog with incredibly advanced AI. Or their aborted bipedal robot with extraordinary dexterity. They must have fired those guys and hired... grocers?

    What the.

    Apparently Sony is trying to become one of those companies whose products are sold exclusively by Hammacher Schlemmer and The Sharper Image.

    What if you accidentally dropped it? It would roll down the street in to the drains! And then what? It starts a sewer-mutant party that results in the destruction of our civilisation?

    This must be stopped.

    The idea is interesting... but the whole implementation?

    How cool would it be to have your MP3 player play a certain song list when you're just doing stuff, but when it detects you're running or moving around more actively it switches playlists to something more appropiate? As in: You start running(as in excersize), it switches to a playlist. It detects you're slowing down and puts some more metal (or whatever you choose). Then when you really slow down for cool down it changes to another playlist (probably more relaxing).

    But other than some very specific things like that, motion sensor controls for MP3 players (something you move around with you)... well, I don't think they are quite the right idea.

    Then again I could be proved horribly wrong, and I would actually be heavily impressed if I was.

    It strikes me that such things could be accomplished better and with fewer mistakes with just plain vanilla playlists.

    it's funny when you think about how awful the product actually is

    and then
    you think about how much they probably spent on R&D and will spend on marketing and how many units will collect dust on store shelves until they disappear into obscurity.

    then it becomes hilarious.

    Now now. You can't know that it'll be a failure. After all, you mustn't count your Rollys before they're hatched.
