"Dumb electronics" - iPods/MP3players, dumbphones, e-ink screens/phones/readers, film cameras.


I just bought a Lootoo PAW6K after getting fed up with the iPhone and the headphone plug adapter.

This player has its own OS, no WiFi or only for firmware upgrades. Has no apps and boots up under three seconds and large capacity from SD Card. The best is it just plays.

What's even cooler is that it's a DAC so I can have my headphones plugged in to it and then use Spotify/Service to stream to the player.

Expensive though at $1000 but just how I want it. My headphones decoupled from my mobile phone.


Diva, you can get an iPod nano on eBay…


I'm currently working in an iPod Nano like device based on LicheeRV Nano, TP4057, 2.8" Touch screen and a 1200mah battery. Software is buildroot and lvgl.

Not so serious ATM but looks promising so far.

Unfortunately all official sipeed 3" touch displays are sold out, probably i need to go I2C or DPI...


I didn't want an iPod nano, as I'm wanting to break away from the grey corporate gardens.
