Now This Is Mobile Technology! part 28


falcon1961Some of the best gadgets are those that merge the old with the new. Retro styling is still fashionable, My last car was a 1961 Ford Falcon station wagon. The restoration trend, to preserve these great old stylish designs, sometime calls for innovations that meld older tech with new. Thus a marriage of mobile devices, like a retro car stereo, and an iPod, is something that crosses many Tech barriers.

So this starts off with a question, who still has a car with a cassette player, and wants a way to play their digital music in the car?

It might seem like old tech, but I remember a time before the cassette tape. You can all stop laughing now!

The combination of old and new is perfectly demonstrated here, with this adapter from
MaxiMobileShop, [Translated Site is here].

Some of you may remember similair devices which allowed you to plug a CD Walkman into your cassette deck, when CD’s first became popular.

This is an iPod to cassette player adapter, that is functional for  your iPhone, iPod and Nano.

This piece of ingenuity, which allows you to keep your retro cool, will set you back 45 Euros, approximately 63 US dollars. Although it may be a device directed a niche market, I still think they’ll move heaps of these, as car enthusiasts want to keep or restore their drives to all original condition.
