Err... ok. Where the bleep did this come from? What's up with all RSS, "Shareport" and "Music Marker" stuff?


Sounds like USB-OTG to me, really. Maybe I've missed out on something, need to read up on all the stuff still.


Hmmm... this is a pretty weird concept. We've seen similar technology being used in some Pc software applications, but in portable devices... can't say it's a very common feature. More or less reminds us of the Music Gremlin.

Overall... we're all-in for innovation and slick designing, so we're keeping an eye out for this one. The website lists it as "available for pre-order" at a price of 289.90 Euro and mentions a planned shipping date of "mid-June". But who really knows, huh?
