Pill MP3 Player

We at Coolest Gadgets reported on the Pill USB Drive not long ago, and it reminded me of the Pill MP3 Player that is under development.

Hopefully you can see how small it is from this photo, but if the keyboard isn’t enough to give it scale, then you should know that the Pill MP3 Player is 2.7 inches long and approximately one inch in diameter.

What you can’t tell from the photo is that the user has to pull it apart in order to access the controls, and he or she must twist it forward or back to skip tracks. Other than that, this is all I know about this presently conceptual product. I have no idea how many audio files it can hold, but if it is anything like the Pill USB, it is good enough for 30 minutes of MP3s. That really isn’t much.

I am going to go out on a limb and assume that the user needs to download their tunes by some USB to mini-USB connection.

The Pill MP3 Player is planned to be in production (or should I say prescription) later this year. So, is this the dawning of pill-shaped electronics? Why don’t they just make our cell phones pill shaped, so we can just swallow them whole to take our calls?

Identify pills you can take and those you can’t Says:

[...] Published by Maria Mihale, on Jun 10 2009, in the categories: Gadgets Before taking a pill to make me feel better people around me have to do their best in order to convince me that I will actually feel better and that I have no other solution. I hate it when I have to resort to pills, maybe because they give me the feeling people usually don’t like about them not being as indestructible as they thought. So I can’t understand why in earth someone would ever want to have a pill-shaped MP3 player which is dubbed the “Vitamin”. Designed by Sangnam Park, the device is not only a concept, just like any other crazy gadget is. So you should prepare yourselves for the “attack” of the Vitamin sometime at the end of this year, because the pill-shaped MP3 player is actually hitting the mass production. The image above must have helped you imagine how small this MP3 player is, but an additional tip would be the fact that it measures no more than 2.7 inches in length and about one inch in diameter. I told you it was tiny! Now, if you want to see this little fellow in action, you should pull it apart, so that the controls are revealed. And, if you want to skip a tune, the only thing you should do is to just twist. And if you want to back it up, for example, then twist again, my friend! The Vitamin comes with support for MP3 and WMA formats, with an equalizer with seven presets, a USB 2.0 connectivity, support for FM tuner with 30 channels and recording capabilities. And what is best about it is that there are no side effects. Just that you should be careful from now: identify your real pills first if you don’t want to have a surprise!
