This is an awkwardly shaped work of "art". Looks like a Wii
controller. A blast from the past, I'm sure it does, but not sure if
the price is good enough for that quality of music.

FROM: CT

Singer song writer Neil Young unveiled his very own digital music
device called the PonoPlayer. His mission is to "restore the soul
of music" by bringing a high-quality product to passionate music
consumers, he says. The PonoPlayer will cost $399 and come with 128GB
of memory. Pre-orders begin March 15 through Kickstarter.

Developed in collaboration with Ayre Acoustics, the PonoPlayer is made
with zero-feedback circuitry and can store up to 500 high-resolution
digital albums. Memory cards will also be available for additional
storage.

"Hearing Pono for the first time is like that first blast of
daylight when you leave a movie theatre on a sun-filled day,"
says Young.

Lucky SXSW goers will be the first to listen on Tuesday, March 11
during the SXSW 2014 Music Conference.

So Neil has finally come around from his "digital = little stair-cases"
delusion ?
