Slow Photography Camera

Last post, I talked about a simplistic radio from Sony and how cool I thought it was how they still marketed simple products like the radio. But today I stumbled upon a camera that takes a different approach to simplistic values.
David McCourt Photo has designed a camera intended to be a medium between using your phone as a camera or using a professional grade digital camera. You simply insert your mobile device into the camera, choose one of three lenses, focus, and shoot! This camera gives the operator a super creative way of using their phone's camera. This hip camera is more than just a cool add-on; the photos are actually really good quality as you can see from the photos above. This camera is a Marketing major's dream. With the popularity of smart phones as it is, there's definitely going to be no trouble finding customers interested in this product.

Simple Radio From Sony

In a world full of iPads and iPad 2s, it's nice to see some products that people who aren't tech savvy can enjoy.  Sony recently released the not-so-new radio pictured above will run you $127. The radio is uber simple and can be the perfect product for someone who just likes catching the game on the radio or listening to their favorite station on a nice Spring day. This radio doesn't even have a port for an iPod--crazy, I know!

I like to see tech giants like Sony still producing products like this simple radio. I find it comforting to know that these "products of the past" may still have a place in today's times. I can only hope that other consumers feel the way I do.

Amazon's Cloud Player

The thing that I've used most from this class so far is dropbox. Yesterday, I saw on gizmodo that Amazon has adopted a new Cloud drive. You can read more about the Amazon Cloud here. But today, I saw an article where they believe that the Amazon Cloud device may be illegal. Apparently, the device may require extra licensing. I think this is really interesting because music and legality should go hand-in-hand, I believe. Here's the link to the article about how the Amazon Cloud may be illegal. Surely Amazon would be able to come up with a device that would maintain website credibilty. The Amazon Cloud was meant to be a competitor to iTunes, but with this potential setback, Amazon could be in trouble.
