Designer moots Zune-friendly wireless speaker
Also acts as nightlight
Zune ownership is still a dream for many European music fans. But one designer’s dreamt up a concept wireless speaker for the player, that’ll also scare away any monsters lurking under your child’s bed.
Zune Bug: a concept wireless speaker for Zune players
Designer Ashley Payne has no official affiliation with Microsoft’s Zune arm, as far as we know, but his concept Zune Bug is designed to receive music transmitted from the player and then pump it out through a small speaker.
It also acts as a nightlight
The so-called Zune Bug’s capable of emitting several different colours too, which Payne envisages changing according to musical frequency. For example, play a fast, high-pitched Bee Gees track and you might get a bright red light, but play a slow Barry White melody and the Bug could shine a dull red.
The Bug’s colour capabilities are also designed to power-up when it’s surrounded by low lighting level – which makes it sound more like a nightlight than a speaker.
A nice feature is that the Zune Bug plugs directly into a plug socket, again much like a nightlight, so there’s no need for messy cables.

I agreee the Zune is a lovely piece of kit. I would much prefer one of those. and this as a Night light is a great idea for the kids room
Looks neat
This looks a well designed bit of kit.
@ascylto - I live in the UK and have a Zune 80 and love it, much better than the iPod I had. It is a shame they haven't released them over hear yet, maybe this year!
It's a shame too many people give negative feedback about a product they they probably haven't tried yet (aplogies if you have btw).
European Zune
I wonder ... is the fact that Europe has not yet been blessed by the Zune due in any way to Europeans not being as gullible as the yanks?
