[gui-talk] allTunes mp3 knob-view player

[Joel Deutsch]

George,
I don't know about you, but I can't make head nor tail out of this 
description.  I can't tell if it's just a self-voicing .mp3 player like an 
IPod, or some wireless gizmo to make your tea kettle play music (how, I'm 
still wondering) or an accessory to your computer that you plug into an ISB 
port to synch with your software media player in order to overrule its 
playlist function.

Do you know of another source of information about this product?  What it 
is, who the vendor is, and so forth?  I guess I can click on the link to the 
.pdf file of promotional material, but if this is their press release, I'd 
assume it would be a little more communicative.

and what's with the "russia?"  Why not say Moscow, or St. Petersburg, or 
Samara?  What's up with this?  Is this some kind of startup company with a 
reverse-engineered knockoff of a Sandisk Sansa or an IPod or something, with 
a speech engine?

Thanks.

allTunes mp3 knob-view player

By Dima Komissarov

You have always been aware that your bag can play music, as well as your
kettle. They just lacked a volume control and a Play button.

Just attach to them our knob-view device via velcro strap or magnet and - Oh
Yeah! -now you've got an mp3bag or and mp3kettle and mp3whatever-you-want at
your disposal.

The device is operated blindly. You needn't look at it each time you change
options - this feature comes in handy when you walk or drive. The screen has
been removed due to its uselessness. The feature of the player to pronounce
the current songs and albums while song listing substitutes for the absent
screen.

Press the central button to play or pause/stop playback. Turn the inner knob
to adjust the volume. The outer knob is for smart listing. In listing mode
the player pronounces by numbers all songs of the current album, then all
albums, in pause mode - the name of the album. At the bottom of the device
you will find Lock button and Repeat all\Shuffle switch.

But the point is that your keyboard lacked all these functions. The player
synchronizes with the current program (WinAmp or iTunes) and starts to serve
as a volume control or song navigator in your computer.
