A device that combines the drawbacks of tape AND mp3 players? I don't think
MD has a lot to worry about..
I don't think it stands a chance - it relies on people with a lot of
tape-based (and presumably non-CD) devices wanting to play MP3s on them. I
don't see a big overlap between the tape luddites and MP3 users.
Even amongst the people into MP3 who (for instance) want to use it in their
cars but only have a tape player, I think they'll just go out and buy a tape
adaptor rather than a silly device like this.
Full marks for design (is this the same as the one posted a couple of months
ago though, that's already on sale?), poor marks for not thinking the idea
through.
