Where it should be used: At home, on the bus, outside ---> goal is small, simple and portable

How to get music on the device: USB connection to store a playlist on the SD card

Visual cues: Big play button, scroll-y thing for volume is intuitive and has been used before

Technology/Mechanical Challenges:

     Making the casing
