Coming out in June is Samsung’s new “pebble”-style MP3 player, the YP-S2. Seemingly designed so it can be easily smuggled into prison, the $40 device will store 1GB, and the attractive design means the iPod Shuffle may finally have some viable competition.

Mark your calendars: from May 21 - June 1, 2008, students receiving master’s degrees from Rhode Island School of Design [RISD] will be on view at the Rhode Island Convention Center in RISD’s Annual Graduate Thesis Exhibition. As a bonus, RISD will offer a web-based gallery of audio, moving and still imagery of students’ work (goin’ live May 20!). Supplemented by artist’s statements, the virtual gallery will offer a sneek peek into the minds of the creators. Multiply that by the 120 students receiving MA degrees this year and…..oof! that’s one long conversation!
