Jamboxx is another app you actually do not need, but that gets you a lot of fun and in this case brings back the good old 80′s with its monster-boomboxes. The app looks like a one of these (though in my opinion it could be a little more “monster”) and lets you play your itunes playlists or create new ones (=Mixtapes. You are really naming a tape. Great feeling!). So in fact it is nothing more than your iPod app, but it has so much more style!
I am missing just a few things: the characteristic “klack” when you open or close the tapedeck, or a “real” fast-forward / rewind button (Jamboxx is only jumping to the next title or offering the fast-forward by keeping the button pressed as known from the iPod). So, some more of these “analog features” we all know from our tapedecks and Boomboxes…
Nevertheless a great idea. Jamboxx is available for free, so if you want to get back the feeling of carrying around a boombox on your shoulder, give it a try.
