After all, we’re so used to the sexy design of the iPod touch that it might take a while before our minds are mentally ready for such a radical design. Then again, something like this would probably take years to materialize and even longer to catch on. This transparent audio player is worn around the wrist like a watch, and if you’re not one who likes something transparent, you can always choose to display an image or colorful graphics – expect the battery life to suffer a bit if you take that road though. It is compatible with cell phones (presumably via Bluetooth connectivity) and completes its list of features with a heartbeat sensor.
