What for? Apart from track info, you can also see an animation of a dancer moving to the beats. Too bad your ears can't see, though :?

Personally, I would've designed these to broadcast personal messages (think walking billboards without the corporate sponsors). Otherwise, they're useless.

Haha, that'd be neat.

"Bad day here. Engage at own risk."

"Can you do this with your iPOD?"

"FS: This cool MP3 player. Reason: Broke. Tap my shoulder for enquiries."

[Gary Sheynkman]

You could not do that....you would need a permit to walk around with an mp3 player...a permit to sell...and a permit to make fun of an ipod :lol:


That thing is kinda cool though....I think Aiwa(i think?) did that one a long time ago (sans the display).
