I'm sorry if I sound naive but what's wrong with using a mobile?
I thought people use traditional music players like iPod and Tangara only because of their retro feel, is there something else to it?
For me it’s also about reducing my reliance on my mobile. Teaching my kids by example that life isn’t only on my phone is easier when I can more clearly demonstrate what I’m doing. To listen to music I get my music device. When I want to take pictures, I grab my camera.
Basically this, for me. I want my devices to be more dedicated to a singular purpose, so I'm not tethered to my phone all day. Having a camera, an MP3 player, and a handheld makes my actions feel more purposeful. Building off that, having a "one-stop-shop" type of device or service or anything really imo makes the overall experience worse. Think Wal-mart versus a dedicated electronics store or something.
Touchscreen. Needs physical buttons.
Has too much functionality. Not good for sleep hygiene.
