PMP - No Touchscreen

PMP - No Touchscreen

Most of the guys I know are into the craziness of PMP (portable media players)! Every single day they wait for something new in the world of PMPs, hanging out in the dedicated forums, etc. I bet a new concept of a PMP with no touchscreen would rush their blood!

I wonder, are people ready to control their gadgets without even touching them!? I doubt that! I still think that people like touching their gizmos. It gives you a specific feeling of control! You like the way it feels when touching buttons or the analog controls; you like to feel in charge of the process; etc. So, I guess less touchscreen control doesn’t mean more pleasure. I’d rather say less touchscreen control is more innovative approach – that’s all.

This No Touchscreen PMP is presented by the designers such as Mathieu Pesme and Jeff Castel. The two use conceptually new technologies (though they don’t get into details which are these).

The presented PMP comes equipped with a subsurface OLED widescreen and a simple dropped bevel around the bezel. The last one is designed to wind headphones in. You will also find tactile control wheel and integrated stereo speakers.

I have to recognize that the two things I appreciate in this model is the natural touching (analog controls) concept and the evolution of the mobile devices.

P.S. Too bad guys! I have to disappoint you saying that this is nothing but a concept. Thus, you should forget about picking one up in the ‘next-to-door’ store as it is only a concept for the future, which is not guaranteed to be created in the nearest future.

CrOOzing the BoozeMobile
I think everyone’s had such days, when you just can’t do anything about it and you just don’t want to do ANYTHING!!! You’d sit back on your couch, you’d just sip on your favorite chilling drink and relax, don’t having to rush at every call you hear.

On the other hand, just sitting on the couch won’t do the thing’ for example I can’t sit like this longer than 10 minutes. I always need something to occupy my hands with, something like… no not that. I meant something like the Booze Cruze Remote Control Car.

This little RC car is probably the perfect thing for the drivers born with a steering wheel in their hands. I mean when you have a dilemma and you can’t decide whether you should drink some beers or drive a car, you can do both… of course only virtually, in a way.

On the other hand you can make your car ‘fetch’ your drinks from the kitchen. All you need for this is a Booze Cruze and a wife (girlfriend) in the kitchen to prepare the drinks and to place them on the little trunk (Note: the wife or the girlfriend is subject to be substituted by any other human being, except the driver of the Boozer Cruzer).
When I first got my hands on the remote control of this gadget I was so obsessed by it that had the car always somewhere near me. I mean, it was like a pet, a toy and a best friend (no one would actually bring you so many drinks for free, they all would need a drink too, and the RC car need a battery).

If you ask me what you can do with the gadget, I’d say that just about EVERYTHING. The main ingredient for this is the lazyness. I mean, if you’re something like “I wanna do something” the Booze Crooze is nothing for you.

So now back to the “just about everything” part. Think of it, you can race against your buddy (if he is one of the lucky possessors of this gadget), you can fetch drinks, you can just have fun with it. Oh yeah, there’s one more thing to mention: the set is supplied with four additional traffic cones - a great help in your driving lessons, if you still didn’t pass the exam because of drinking.

But seriously speaking, the Booze Cruze RC Car is actually a rather useless gadget. If you get addicted to it, like I did, you’ll have wasted a great deal of time (this was my common sense speaking - not me). However if you have some 40 bucks in your pocket (this is me again), you should have something like this gadget in your household… just in case: you’ll surely have some time to spend driving while drunk. The best thing about it is that you won’t get fined by the police for DUI. Oh, another thing: the set includes two cones for practicing your technique of driving a car with a glass full of something on the roof.

But beware! If you get addicted to this gadget, which is very possible, you’ll have a lot of explanations to do! Trust me!
