PMP – No Touchscreen
PMP – No Touchscreen 
Most of the guys I know are into the craziness of PMP (portable media players)! Every single day they wait for something new in the world of PMPs, hanging out in the dedicated forums, etc. I bet a new concept of a PMP with no touchscreen would rush their blood!
I wonder, are people ready to control their gadgets without even touching them!? I doubt that! I still think that people like touching their gizmos. It gives you a specific feeling of control! You like the way it feels when touching buttons or the analog controls; you like to feel in charge of the process; etc. So, I guess less touchscreen control doesn’t mean more pleasure. I’d rather say less touchscreen control is more innovative approach ? that’s all.
This No Touchscreen PMP is presented by the designers such as Mathieu Pesme and Jeff Castel. The two use conceptually new technologies (though they don’t get into details which are these).
The presented PMP comes equipped with a subsurface OLED widescreen and a simple dropped bevel around the bezel. The last one is designed to wind headphones in. You will also find tactile control wheel and integrated stereo speakers.
I have to recognize that the two things I appreciate in this model is the natural touching (analog controls) concept and the evolution of the mobile devices.
P.S. Too bad guys! I have to disappoint you saying that this is nothing but a concept. Thus, you should forget about picking one up in the ‘next-to-door’ store as it is only a concept for the future, which is not guaranteed to be created in the nearest future.

Driving Targeted Male Traffic into the Kitchen
I suspect that Philips decided to make the kitchen popular for the guys. I mean, it’s already popular because of the fridge and the beer in it, but Philips suggested the its new gadget: the Philips DCD778 docking station.
The device is meant to drive more targeted male traffic into the kitchen: so that this ‘traffic’ comes in, sees the gadget handing and the pictures it should, or the music it plays and spends some time in that place, called kitchen.
The Philips DCD778 is another docking station for the iPod. No wonder. It’s the iPod era and Philips just can’t stand aside of all this technology and gadget boom.
The device can be attached anywhere in the kitchen, of course if you find some place there (if you don’t – clean up). It is equipped with an 8.5 inch LCD display (the main part of it), which will magnify anything from your iPod’s display. However, this video files playback function could be limited to the abilities of the iPod you’re using. I mean, if you iPod can’t playback such files, neither will the DCD778.
As for the functions the kitchen gadget Philips DCD778 can boast of are the built-in tuners, DVD, CD playback ability and AM/FM radio (so why do we need the video files’ playback?).
This gadget may probably not be fully equipped to provide you and your family with the full range of media services for entertainment, like cable TV, game console and so on, but its stylish look will give some more technology aesthetics to your kitchen.
On the other hand this rather small device is fully equipped to entertain a family during their meals and will probably keep the kids around too. If you thought that besides your wife and the fridge there’s nothing worth your attention down there, you’re probably wrong. Maybe your wife’s already turned into a perfect woman and bought this gadget for you? The pricing is not too high, you know – only 0.
And speaking of you, ladies (if there are any visiting our blog), this would be a very good tool to keep your spouse around for sometime, or maybe even make him clean up the table or even wash the dishes. Consider the Philips DCD778 gadget as on option in achieving this goal. Maybe the sentence “Honey, would you wash the dishes while the film is still on” will become a must after every dinner.
