I'm sorry, that is ridiculous.

They're pulling our legs, they have to be.

I do like the idea of a retractable atty, that part is really cool, but the rest is silly. And the shape along with the smooth aluminum sides (at least it appears to be aluminum) is just an accident waiting to happen. Looks like it'll slip right out of your hands.

I don't see that at all. I think it would be somewhat hard for something I have my hand wrapped around to just slip out. And no, it won't be aluminum. Mik posted in another thread that they were looking at building it out of the same material the iPod is made out of.

Fail... mp3 player?! i would much rather see reserch and development spent on creating a more reliable atomizer , or juice delivery system.

epic fail

So if a new product doesn't meet your requirements for your own personal use, it is automatically crap? So basically any new PV that comes out that doesn't have what you need is a bad thing?

Who is to say they aren't researching other things? Should they never come out with anything new if it's not what you would approve of?
 
Some nice styling but it seems to me an exercise in creating an expensive-looking design at minimum cost (how to make $5 look like $100). No real advances. Pity.

True to its name it will have a short burst of interest.

Janty is pretty imaginative, but much more style focused than R&D. As still one of the few most likely, if only they would put some of that boldness into improving function ...

A reliable source has informed me that the cause for delay was that Janty is integrating a MP3 player into the Cameo that plays Hit Me Baby One More Time when you press the button.

So, just because his opinion does not agree with yours he must be wrong?


;) Just turning the tables on ya.



Honestly, most of the idea is silly. An MP3 player? Really? All that does is add cost to what will already be a fairly costly unit. All of the upgrades are either cosmetic or just stupid in concept, and offer no better performance from the erratic quality of the JS. And imagine how that will sit in your pocket. It is large in its diameter with those protruding sides like that.

If they HAD made performance improvements, they surely would have been listed alongside the aesthetic improvement details.

Would have been nice to see a 5v or 6v option really.

Don't get me wrong, I love Janty... but the first thing that came to my head when I saw this was "Let's market kids some more."



Bad move, Janty... bad move.

Just like my replies to the whole "flavors are marketed towards kids" debacle...

So, adults don't like mp3 players? I suppose this 41 year old guy should just throw his away then...
