How cool is this?! All roads lead to retro. As much as we love our new gadgets and gizmos, we will always have an affinity for products reminicient of memory-filled years of long ago. This cassette tape styled MP3 player is the latest in a slew of retro gadgets to hit the market lately. The concept is not necessarily new or cutting edge, but it sure looks cool!
Here's what this little diddy boasts:
- Eco-friendly - you power the device using your finger to rotate one of the holes in the cassette to kinetically charge it. And it made of recyclable materials.
- You can FFWD or RWD by inserting your finger in one of the holes - and here's the really cool part, you can FFWD or RWD to any part of a song.
- Comes in three models: 45/60/90 just like a cassette tape does, which gives you more or less memory for song storage depending on the model you prefer.
- A monitor that models what the actual tape of a real cassette would look like through the tape window - it digitally displays the elapsed time.
- Battery life LED light that displays varying levels of power
- Pop-out USB drive for loading music
It appears from the mock-up ad that the player is slightly larger than an actual cassette tape, but probably intentional to accommodate being able to put your finger through one of the holes.

Muito bacana isso, interessante saber que algumas pessoas gostam de mexer com a tecnologia de hoje incorporando o design de ontem, gostei muito do trabalho.
