Yes, it's an MP3 player - not a cellphone! Pretty hot, right? It's called the TAM MP3 Walkman and it was designed with Vivienne Tam's VIP customers in mind. It has 4GB of built-in memory, can store up to $2,000 songs and comes in red and an 18 carat gold Luxe edition.
Too bad it's not available for sale yet!
I know, I know... I was disappointed too. The good news is that it will be available soon. It is currently in the development stage and the technology team behind this "feminine MP3 concept", Kitman Keung, are interested in your feedback before they proceed to the next stage. I asked about a protective case - can you imagine dropping this thing? Ugh!
So, what do you think?
My first thought: looks a bit like a sex toy, doesn't it? But perhaps that's simply due to the fact that I saw this post shortly after reading Kristopher Dukes's latest musing. The other thing that sort of puts me off about this is that hook bit on the back. Looks as though it would make it rather akward to carry around, or say put down on your desk while writign a test @ school. And why do women need a woman specific MP3 player anyway? Are we statistically more prone to struggle with using other music devices or something?
Just a thought.

That's a hot looking mp3. I wonder if it can snugly clip on your clothing during a job.

It's cute, but come out with one the color of fuschia! The only thing is with mp3s are the ACCESSORIES! Let's face it, the ipod isn't the best mp3 on the market, but what makes it the only one is all of the accessories you can attach to it - from wireless car attachments, to ihome and docking stations. The zune, zen and others were far better and cheaper, however, the accessories took ipod and made it legendary. After all, aren't we reading a blog specifically about accessories??!? *grin*

I support this project 100%. I'm so sick of all the mp3 players looking like iPods nowadays.
