B(r)and extention: Franz Ferdinand Walkman
Posted on 24. Jul, 2006 by Cassandra in Design
When Apple launched the limited edition black US iPod – it was cool. But that was a while back now and we got tired of waiting for the Celine Dion version – so we’re over it.
For a while now Sony has been fighting the Apple flava’d world of MP3 players. A good example is the Franz Ferdinand branded Walkman.
Sony Japan is doing a limited edition of 100 Franz Ferdinand encrusted
DAPs. The front will copy the jacket design of the band’s "You Could
Have It So Much Better" CD, and the back will have photos of the band
members. The player will also hold a special message from the band, and
an autographed card.
Now what would be slick is if you could have your new player customized with your favourite band when ordering.
Do it Sony – just do it.
BTW – new weapon in their assault against Apple is the new torch-like MP3 player. Nice.
