Michael Hines — November 28, 2010 — Art & Design
Normally, having a hole in your MP3 player is considered a bad thing -- unless that MP3 player is the 1Hole Multimedia Player from Forboten. This MP3 and video player abandons the ever-popular touchscreen in favor of a slimmed-down design that is simple and eye-catching.
The 1Hole Multimedia Player has three buttons and a scroll wheel to make things a little easier for iPod Touch owners going through withdrawal. Check it out in the gallery above.
