Talking about minimalistic design, this Plug and Player MP3 player design should be counted as one. It’s a cool concept that mix both power plug (european style) and iPod like MP3 player into one compact design that you can charge it directly on the outlet without the need of extra adapter or cable. The player itself is the charger.

It works, however, the design is a bit awkward and looks pretty ‘dangerous’ when you are trying to listen to your songs while it’s recharging. As if you are connected to the power outlet and your ears are at stack and ready to be recharged like a robot. There are two scenarios when something goes wrong with the MP3 player. You will either goes directly to meet your Creator or you will be transform into an electro boy with super-charged super power.

Well, nothing wrong with the design. It’s just me that tend to think weirdly when seeing unique stuff being created.

Sleepy heads might find waking up in the morning their biggest problem in their life. That’s why they’ve armed themselves with various kind of alarm clocks to knock themeselves out of their bed before running late to work. However, it seems regular alarm clock is not their stuff anymore. They can just hit the button to stop the morning war-cry and continue their sleep. That’s why a new alarm should be invented, and that’s where Aphelion Clock concept appear!

This is the unique alarm clock design that guarantee you to wake up in annoyance, but also make sure you are awake sitting in your bed complaining the cruel day. The Aphelion Clock will shoot a ball when the alarm goes off, and the only way to stop the alarm is to find the ball and put it back to the holder. It sounds like an easy task but believe me, it’s very difficult when you’ve just woke up and force to do the searching. And that’s also the reason that you should really fully awake to find the ball or the alarm won’t stop crying out loud!

Interesting clock concept. The designer even has added a Radio Tuner and MP3 player input, and a large display to show the clock.

iRiver has launched their latest MP3 Player in China market which is known as N20 that has a double purpose to serves as both music player and cool necklace.

iRiver N20 featuring 128×56 PMOLED display and iRiver Extreme Sound Engine or IESE. This is certainly a new Jargon that floating in the blogosphere recently. The IESE is a sound enhancement technology to give you more precise and accurate sounding effect, while the PMOLED is the variant of AMOLED display, which stand for Passive Matrix OLED. More detail in the FYI quote.

iRiver N20 MP3 Player will support MP3, WMA, APE, FLAC, OGG, and WAV files. Quite a good range of supported files, the iRiver N20 has a small dimension of 26×55.5.13mm, weighs in 35g only. You can find it on two size of 2GB and 4GB.

FYI: PMOLED Display on iRiver N20 MP3 Player

[...] With Passive-Matrix OLEDs, the display is controlled by switching on rows and columns. When you turn on row number x and column number y, the pixel at the intersection is lit – and emits light. Each time you can choose just one pixel to light. So you have to turn these on and off very quickly. You do so in a certain sequence, and create the desired image. This is somewhat like the interlace-system used in old CRTs, but the control is done pixel-by-pixel.

PMOLEDs are very easy and cheap to build, but they are limited to small sizes (up to 3″, typically). The image displaying is a bit complicated (because of the row/column method). Also the power consumption is not as good as AMOLEDs. [...]

Here is a new thinnest MP3 player produced by the country of Sakura (Japan). The MP3 Player is shaped like your Visa Credit Card with some real look of a credit card.

The manufacturer even add a line of numbers code to “fake” the mp3 player as your credit card.

Credit card sized MP3 player looks really cool with 8 buttons to navigate through your songs collection. You’d also found an OLED display (85 x 54mm) and a 3.5mm jack port at the rear side.

The question is, how large is the internal storage? Can we expand the memory? By looking at the picture above, it seems not expandable. No word on pricing and availability yet.

Samsung introduce three newcomer to tease gadgeteer.

Samsung P3 MP3 Player

Starting from Samsung P3 MP3 player, and two Digital Camera the WB500 and ES10. But from those three new gadget, I found Samsung P3 more interesting. It featured a ratio 16:9 widescreen video player with 3-inch touch-sensitive screen for several purposes.

It also have studio-quality audio player, FM radio tuning, voice recorder and photo album to manage your snapshots. It’s interesting to see all of those features are stored inside this 1cm thick only MP3 player, I think it’s more than an MP3 player now. I should call it a PMP instead.

Samsung P3 is available in two basic color, black and silver, and available in two capacity of 4GB and 8GB.
