Sony’s Touchscreen Walkman
Matt 13 Dec 2008 | : Technology
The Sony Walkman has come a long way since the early days when they owned the market with the Discman and slowly lost ground to the iPod. Shown above could be the early illustrations of a new touchscreen Walkman to compete with the iPod Touch. The player would feature a 3-inch OLED display which as you can see from the scale compared to the hand would be smaller than the current iPod Touch. It would also include WiFi and built-in access to Amazon’s MP3 Store. Although it’s currently just a rumor, I think it’s a good idea for Sony to focus on a product like this in order to compete for portable music market share.

So instead of just buying more bookshelfs as your books outgrow your current one, why not just expand the bookshelf you have? The Platzhalter bookshelf does just that, forming a capital V in the process of your book expansion, which adds an elegant design element to your library in the process. The exposed boards that open up the bookshelf as it expands are also hidden when the bookshelf is level vertically. Nice design as long as those expansion boards are secure.
