MP3 Player wins design award, donates proceeds to charity

By Leave a Comment


 

University professor Bae Sang-min led his team to create a music player which bagged a silver prize at the 2008 International Design Excellence Awards. The product was named as CrossCube Nanum foldable MP3 player which resembled a cross but when folded, it would turn up like a dice. Pretty neat! Not only the professor showed his team’s innovative side but the winning amount (KRW 400 million) which they won was donated for the education of children coming from weak financial background.

The music player is up for sale and from what I understand a bit of Korean (the translators didn’t work), it will come with 1GB capacity and will cost around KRW 40,000 (USD 40).
