Saint B mp3 player
Perfect for Gregorian Electronica
RUGenius found this Russian design studio and posted SAM, a re-invention of the traditional samovar on notcot.org but I've been fascinated by their clever take on the portable mp3 player.
Created by Moscow-based Man Works Design studio, Saint B mp3 is a prototype mp3 player shaped like a cross, and I love the questions that they raise in their description, as well as their beautiful 3D rendering.
Concept: The form of the player is inspired by the original Christian symbol, the cross. Indeed, we wear it in the same manner as a player - around the neck. We are playing not only with the form, but with religious symbolics. This player immediately brings many questions - whether it is possible to listen to any kind of music on it? Whether it can keep on playing a role of the religious symbol? Does everybody have a moral right to wear this thing?
Sadly, there are a few details on their current design that need to be revised, such as the fact that they are using a female USB port instead of a male, and the earphone plug seems to be in a strange place. But I love how they are using the cross to place the controls as well as the OLED display.
In the same vein, Technabob pointed out that there used to be a cross shaped lanyard for the old iPod shuffle called iBelieve. I love their quote:
But now bring me a man that plays music. And when the man played music the groove came upon them. - Jobs 3:15

Russian Orthodox?
Since Russian Orthodox priests wear pectoral crosses, I wonder if it would appeal to the younger generation of priests? Stylish AND multifunctional.
I'd better stop the jokes there.

Cross
The purpose of the Cross is to give Glory to God for what He has accomplished by it. The Cross should always stand out as something unique and not a reflection of popular culture. Having the Cross be "side bar" to one's source of personal entertainment is not proper. Also the quote of Jobs 3:15 is not a biblical quote.
this?
is it this one? http://www.allpmp.com/goods.php?u=142&id=30
I wonder if he also does a pentagram?
