   I though $50 seems like a fair price for what you'd get. And then I saw it was only a deposit. A retail price of $250 seems way over the mark for what it is.

   Who would be the market for this product?

   Its expensive so its up market, but all of those buyers would already have phones and would be unlikely to bring another device just to have music that their phone is already exceptionally good at providing.

   it's unlikely to be runners or bikers or other endurance athletes as they'll already have their phone or if they use a watch have music on their watch so they don't have to bring a phone.

   Phones already do a great job of offline with downloaded music and movies so that doesn't seem like the right crowd.

   Most kids get a hand me down phone with no cellular to start with from their parents so that doesn't seem like a good fit.

   now i feel like I'm writing the hacker news dropbox review where i say its use case is already easy to do and the product will go nowhere;)

   But seriously, who would be the target here?

      Nostalgia? Maybe not even, as you could buy a second hand iPod off eBay. Maybe for people that only use dumbphones and want still the possibility of listening to music?

      Curious to see how much they sell, I suspect not much
