the Kre-8: Two Turntables and a Mobile Phone?
By Carl Weiss
The kre-8, a new cell phone concept by designer Jose Tomas DeLuna, is the first phone aimed specifically at music lovers. No, not another MP3/phone hybrid, this one’s for those that actually create their own music. The phone features a touchscreen, accelerometer and three separate music modes: instrument , record and mix. Music could also be shared with other Kre-8 users over the 3G network for play or adaptation. Like the pad and pencil beside the bed of the writer, the Kre-8 could clearly serve as a useful tool for musicians who simply can’t control the timing of their creative flow. Back to reality, this is just a concept so that’s about as much as we’re likely to hear about it. [Mobile Crunch]
