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.
