Turn your iPod / iPhone into a retro-style Walkman.

Audman

retromania #3 : tape on usb

Another fascinating and beautifully designed retro-cassette tape concept. This really lovely piece of technology  is a portable music player that can dock 3 USB sticks at a time. It comes with a mock USB cassette tape which can store music and be used to make "mix-tapes" just like in byegone days. More pics and details here.

Tape USB design by Jung Hoon Lee.

retromania #2 : cassette business card

Retromania is an occasional series about "cassettes" as design artefacts or as photographed by other people. Number 2 in the series is a mixtape generation cassette business card and cassette case card holder by the creative, japanese designer, Kozzy. Looks rather nice. I'd love to have a set with my name on them.

Retromania is an occasional series about "cassettes" as design artefacts or as photographed by other people. Number 1 in the series is a photograph taken by Rudolf-Benoit at the Open Source Festival 2011, in Düsseldorf, Germany. The girl appears to be using an iPhone or some other smartphone.  One can imagine that it's an iPhone encased in one of those retro cassette cases that they make for them.  I Googled a bit to try and find the exact model and I think that it's this one.
