iStick Concept

Designer Alexei Mikhailov was inspired by the iPhone’s design, churning out the iStick concept as the perfect mobile convergence device. With such a small screen size, this definitely isn’t meant for movie viewing nor photo browsing, but it does visually replicate the iPhone/Touch space within a device the size of a lipstick tube. Interestingly enough, all four surfaces are touch screen sensitive, so it will probably take a while before somebody thinks of a way to harness all four sides effectively. Features include built-in WiFi for convenient iTunes download sessions. Would you buy something shaped like this, or do you prefer to stick to the tried-and-tested iPod Shuffle where portability is concerned?
