Sex in design and design in sex...

iPod vibe and dildo like player...

The idea isn't quite new, but it still works and brings the real flow of cash.

Sony should stop employing employees under the age of 15.. or in other words they should grow up and maturbate on proper dildos.. havent they ever seen a dildo before.. this doesnt look anyting like it.. and they should really brush up their marketing skills..

Since when did dildos look like that? Silly man, it's definately a butt plug.

This is one of the few flash MP3 players I've been really excited about. Sony's 'rotating collar' interface on the Walkman remotes of old is one of the best ever: simple, intuitive, and compact. Man I miss my old MD.

Haha, no one this thing will get through airport security. It looks like some sort of detenator.

There's nothing dildo about it.

Is this written by a spotty 15 year old??

Compact

Looks like they're trying to compete with the Apple + Nike sport kit, since it's got pedometer functions. Using the g-sensor to toggle shuffle mode and have 'walking' and 'running' playlists is a great idea too. I like the pen-shaped form factor, but can't find any specs or pictures that show how big it is. <= 4 inches, okay. Actual dildo size, no (besides, it's not very textured).

The LCD screen in the photo looks like it's a sticker.

Or get through airport security.

It's going to be very hard for someone to walk or work out with this player in their vagina or up their anus. Bad design Sony!!!

You guys remember that horrid mouse from Apple (which one!?) that was
round like a hockey puck? You could never tell which way was up by
touch, and it drove people mad. Remember that rash of designers going
postal around 2000? It was that mouse that sent them over the edge.

Anyway, I predict the same problem here. Since we rarely look at our
music players while jogging, riding a bike, or getting off - the player
will be tricky to operate. That, and all the lube will make it hard to
hold onto...let alone trying to press all the right button in time to
the...um...rhythm.

Man I hope my mom isn't reading this.

I'll give a shiney nickle to the first person to crack one of these open. I'm really curious how it's manufactured. I can't imagine that a traditional circuit board would work. what does the flash unit look like, how does the rotating interface work... wow, just when I think sony is out of ideas, they come up with something like this and pique my curiosity.

It uses rechargable batteries and is made by *Sony*..

It IS a pipe bomb!

Well, it uses rechargable batteries, and it's made by *Sony*

It IS a pipe bomb!

Looks more like a pipe bomb than a dildo to me.

scH

now that matching music tempo to your pace is a funky thing!

I find the title of the post and the fact that the first 3 letters of the name of the mp3 player are "NWS" very ironic.

Masturbate to a beat! (I am so patenting that slogan)

mmr

Who the heck is going to use that as a dildo, Zhu Haizhen?

KsprayDad

If there were a way to sync that with Mac iTunes I would definately pick that over iPod Shuffle or Nano. Looks sexy.
