Conceptual media player resembles a flashlight

We've seen flashlights lose their way and get mixed up in all sorts of unrelated gadgetry over the years, but this conceptual multimedia player from Can-Hong Huang breaks new ground for flashlight-inspired gizmos worldwide. This curious creation reportedly boasts the ability to play back audio to a set of wireless earbuds or speaker dock, and even projects videos onto your pull-down screen (or spare wall, if you roll like that). The stick itself can be twisted and manipulated in order to change tracks and adjust the volume, but we're still not buying into this without some sort of remote to complete the package.

Why do they display a couple of crack pipes with their media player? Is it a suggestion as to potential accompanying activities that one could engage in whilst listening?

No, that's two crack pipes and a bong.

...more like an intercom speaker with an erection.

*cue cheap music* Bop it! *more cheap music* Twist it! *cheap music* Pull it!

Though I guess being able to reconfigure my multimedia device would be pretty neat with onlookers watching.

One for the ladies or what?

[Prasand J. @ Jul 20th 2007 9:19AM]

lmfao @ the visual that invoked.

[Jojo @ Jul 20th 2007 9:22AM]

Ew. Those ear buds'll look pretty dumb hanging out of you ears.

[derek @ Jul 20th 2007 9:22AM]

It's a bit of a large download, but I did this as a sample rendering a while back. It's not a real product but it thinks along surprisingly similar lines:
