You know, I've got to admit I used to like Kenny Rogers & the First Edition's version of 'Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town' when I was a kid. It's a very sad song about a paralyzed Viet Nam vet who's wife who get's all prettied up at night and goes in to town alone...

I had a friend who had a cassette tape full of "The Gambler" on both sides. He said, "it was so I don't have to take the tape out." Who does that?
That thing is ugly. How do you carry it around? Take it to the gym,etc? To me it would seem like you would need to still use an iPhone, iPod or other media device for portable use

The gym isn't really the type of activity where you would care about the quality of music... This is something you want to have nice speakers/headphones for. For the gym, your iPod is the device to have, for other situations, this is.

Same here. I also don't know how anyone can find that ugly. If you've got problems with the shape because it's not gonna fit in your lululemons you're not exactly the target demo of this product anyway.

I got a feeling someone has 5 new emails with Pearl Jam Pono's reserved for each. Smart move. These things are gonna be gold when Pono becomes the staple for digital audiophile players. Neil is guaranteeing. I believe him. No reason not to. Pearl Jam fans cant lose on this. I believe all the haters are just folks that missed the drop. These will be rare folks. People wont be flipping these like Benny. These have real, everyday functionality. Imho. And when a person spends that kind of time with something, the sentimental attachment makes it harder to let go.
Stoked I got one now….but where's BOOM?, c'mon! Boooooooooom

Do people plan on using these as a portable music player? To me, this would look better as a simple shelf stereo. I assume there is a USB port on the opposite side. Two jacks on top, one for headphones, one for speaker output.....correct?

Like Bitcoins.
I also don't see anyone who bought this version actually intending to use it. It even came with a display case. So, even they knew. It's a collector's display item pure and simple. It actually will be more valuable when Pono doesn't come to fruition.
I will state now - Pono will never catch on. It is the Betamax and 3D TV of the Audio field. The cost/benefit ratio just doesn't make sense for the ordinary consumer. So, could there be a niche market? Sure. But, as a common use item - I just don't see it.
Their best bet is selling the technology to a Bose who will then build a home system that utilizes this by up-converting existing music collections as Blu-Ray does for DVD's. That way it can build new consumers as it has a utilization for folks with existing large collections.
Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.
Completely disagree. I'm using it the day it gets to my door. Even went out and bought new $400 headphones in anticipation. EvIt will play all your existing music, so even if you think their sales aspect will fail, it's not like this thing becomes extinct

Neil doesn't need the money is another thing this has going for it and you're right, this isn't for steers. You make a good point about the display aspect. But being preloaded, I'll have to plug it in.

It reminds me of the Sabre Pyramid... we all know how that went over...
