Device Label Blaster may have been cancelled.

[Golden Phoenix]

I very much wanted him however the cancellation news have come very late in the game so I think that there may be several produced by now.

Something that Taktom failed while making these device labels is that they are not very practical - 2GB is nothing by current standards and Soundwave was a very substandard MP3 player. At the end due to their 'device' mediocrity, they only appeal to collectors for the toy and characters not the general public as they can get a much better equivalent device for considerably less of the amount asked.

A casual TF fan or 'general public' will not buy a low end USB stick at 300% cost just for the transforming gimmick.

I'm sure they would find a market in people who buy stuff like it thought. A Transforming (working) USB hub would appeal to the geek market. It wouldn't be much but it would still be an increase.
I'm sure a site like ThinkGeek would have sold them, they sell heaps of stuff like it

I agree, the USB hub is a great item and it would indeed reach the geek market but they never got that far as it now appears to be cancelled.

Although I do agree that there is a market for this sort of thing, Tak Tom has been actually trying to market it to the IPod generation hence the white Soundwave and white Prime IPod trailer. The 'proper' colored versions only seem to have appeared as an after thought - Yet they are the more popular items everyone is after.

Two things I find wrong with Device Label so far:

- Technically and significantly inferior to similar contemporary devices (USB sticks, MP3 players) while being significantly more expensive.

- Marketing focus away from the toy collector market and into the general 'gadget geek' market and naturally the devices don't measure up.
