It seems like it's Nano everything these days and people with big fingers may not like these featured capsules. Peter Hwang's small concept for the Apple iPod has a 'Home' button that when touched allows browsing the same way as with the iPhone. Docked to the mini speaker cradle, you can simultaneously send and receive data in the iPod from the cradle. The cradle functions as docking speakers and a charger.
Implications - The concept iPod capsule has a modern look that many people will surely find attractive. The capsule is shaped like a rather large pill and is colored in shiny pink and white. Peter Hwang is definitely onto something, but only time will tell if his creation will be accepted into the ever-changing world of technology.
