KNC HR-811 - and you thought the *name* was weird
comment: 16 | Wednesday, October 19 (2005) 11:15AM | Posted by Robert Sinke
Hmmm... maybe I shouldn't have eaten that somewhat fungus-laden fortune cookie, because I'm starting to see things that just can't be real.

Take this device, for instance. I mean, really - what is this? Ok, so it's officially called "KNC HR-811" (very inspiring and easy to remember) and comes with 512MB worth of flash built-in memory. A 65k color OLED-type screen allows for picture viewing and MP3/WMA plus ASF are supported in terms of audio playback.

But, dear me... what is up with this design? A few possible sources of inspiration come to mind here:
  • Alien walkie-talkie used for "phoning home"
  • Sonic the Hedgehog plunged into a barrel of molten chrome-like materials
  • The ultimate grappling hook, with integrated picture of your loved one - remember, you're doing it for her/him
  • Temporal insanity
Now it's your turn to take a guess. I for one, liked the equally-weird original M-Bird a lot better.

Wow. That thing is halfway to being a pair of brass knuckles. If they'd only kept on going it could have been really useful.

Amazing (to me) is that they doubled - at least - the cost of the casing with the wild shape. Why???

I'm guessing this is their take on ergonomic design...with a vengeance. "Fits like a natural extension of your hand...just don't be holding it if the police stop you."
