The designers of this hi-tech audio stick recognize that many consumers still like to keep separate devices for different purposes. Called the Mobile Audio Player, this gadget would be about the size and shape of a pencil, making it compact enough to be conveniently slipped into a pocket, a bag, or even pen holder on your desk.
Kizuku Kitada of Spect Design ensured that everything the listener wants to know and affect would be included within the slim touchscreen interface. The current song would be displayed in running text, next to a miniature sound visualizer. The user can scroll through his music, his podcasts and more, and change the track and volume with tiny twists to the rotating components.
