Samsung’s new TicToc player uses shake to skip tracks


By the first looks of it,I thought this was some new nail polish bottle. After taking a closer look at it I realised that this ones got a wired tail and it is a digital music player. Now Samsung has introduced the new TicToc player that does all the functions of an MP3 player with just a single button and an accelerometer. The player has no display and is as sleek as its closest compeditor – the iPod Shuffle.

The device has a smart accelerometer sensor that changes track. A slow shake would line-up a slow song while a vigorous shake would play a fast one. The only key on the player acts as both the power button and the volume control key. Holding the player upside down with the key pressed reduces the volume and vice versa.

The Samsung TicToc player would be available in 2GB and 4GB variants supporting MP3, WMA, OGG and FLAC audio formats. The player has a 12 hours playback time on a full battery charge. It also comes with a small docking and charging station shown in the pic above. Too bad that you have to buy the designer plastic sleeves separately. The device is expected to be available sometime in 2010, no details on pricing as of now.
