good design... i would try something similar if i had my 3d modeler still loaded. Why dont you try to round off the square edges....it would make it handle a little better. Would fit in the pocket better.
-nevermind...i only saw the earlier dwgs...new ones look nice |

I used AutoCAD 2004. I took Intro to AutoCAD and Intermediate AutoCAD a couple of years ago but then chose a different career path so I'm a little rusty, but it's starting to come back to me. AutoCAD is by no means a great piece of software when it comes to 3D, but it does work. If you're drawing in 2D, there's nothing better. I've actually been working on my design some more (adding more details) and I'll send it to k-mouse to put up when I'm done.
Thanks again, k-mouse! |

Here are deez's new, updated images:
Personally I must say it looks nice!
But what about the shortcut-buttons, where are they? |

| Honestly, I never use the preset shortcut buttons, so I decided that since this is my concept it would be ok to omit them. |

I agree. I think the shortcut buttons make it look ugly, and they're not THAT useful.
EDIT: This time around, they better use a standard USB connector.

It looks very similar to the current stuff, but that's not bad, I quite like the simplistic design.
The "slide in" hard disc is really sweet, but I guess it's not going to happen :)
Did you also think about "real" improvements, I mean, other than design?
Sure, a small unit is a pleasure to carry in your pocket, but what about a kind of interface for it so it can be used as an image bank (think about a CF slot, a higher resolution screen, preferrably able to display pictures,...)
Those are features I'm much more interested in then a small unit,though size _does_ matter eventually. Maybe a "universal connector" type of thingie at the bottom so the Neuros can interface to a docking station or a cardreader,...
Oh heck, I'm just dreaming out loud, I'll once get to see what DI made of the Neuros 3, and the sooner the better ;)
Since we're all talking about spending...let's see...around 250 to 500 on a player that will play music, photos, movies, etc...why not just get a laptop? Who needs to spend that much money on something like an Archos player when you could just actually have a LAPTOP which will do ANYTHING you want it to, on a much bigger screen, and you won't have to bend over backwards to do it. I can seen carrying a laptop when you want to watch movies - but just for mp3's, I think a player is justified. Then again, maybe I'm just being weird or in the minority. I don't understand why anyone would spend 500 for an Archos. I mean, yes, they are cool. Record off tv/dvd/anything without copyrights, but the price...I think I'd rather have a laptop.

| true, but laptops are also $1000-1500 more for a good one |

I think all the Neuros III should be is exactly what the Neuros II is, with a possible color screen, a faster processor, better battery, better interface, standard USB cable (and ability to be charged through it) and much smaller size, and then we will have an absolutely dynamite product.
Oh, and a way to mod the antenna to work with NCast without voiding a warranty would be nice, but perhaps I'm dreaming :D

I agree with most of what you're saying but I do have a couple of questions:
1)What do you want a color screen for? All this would do is drive the cost up. I, personally, don't care if my music player has a color screen.
2)What do you mean by "better interface"? What would you do differently? |

1. I said possible. Personally I wouldn't like it if it cost a lot, but who knows, if it's cheap, I say do it :)
2. The interface in my eyes has some serious problems. It's sluggish during NCast, it doesn't remember where you were like the iPod does (which is a bummer, considering how useful that is. I hate having to scroll through things all over again), you have to go to audio->downdowndown->albums->down->artists instead of artists just being the first option. It would be great if artists was first, which would show all artists, then once you click one, the first choice would be "All" (which would be all songs by artist), then it would list the albums.
Oh, and scrolling is a little strange. When you do fast scrolling, it goes through my list of artists VERY fast, and doesn't do it smoothly, it just skips like 20 at a time.
These are all things fixable by better sync software and some work by either NA or the open source community (GarBage has done great so far).

| I'd like to see something like the wheel on the iPod which is used for volume control and seeking and it works wonderfully for those functions. The wheel is also used for scrolling, but I've found that to be a little clumsy. So when it comes to interface changes, I could stand to see some button changes. I don't have any concept images or anything; I'm not that artistic or creative. |

As far as I know, that's patented by Apple. |

| That's where the "something like" comes into play. I didn't say, "I want the iPod wheel put onto the Neuros." Certainly something that works in a similar, efficient fashion can be done. |
