Designer Alexei Mikhailov isn’t out to convince people his iStick concept is the perfect mobile convergence device. In fact he clearly points out the iStick isn’t for viewing movies and the screen is too small for effective photo viewing. What it does have is a visual replication of the iPhone/Touch space inside a device the size of a lipstick tube.
Big square icons and of course Coverflow let you navigate the Mac way. What’s interesting is his surface design. All four surfaces are touchscreens which could present some interesting and unique interface design. The integrated WIFI also enables you to browse iTunes. It’s not an iPod replacement per say. Think of it more as a big brother to the iPod Shuffle.

模仿化的iPod+唇膏＝iStick
设计师Alexei Mikhailov并不是想使人们信服他的iStick概念是完美的移动存储装置。事实上，他明确的指出iStick不是为了看电影而设计。它的屏幕尺寸太小已致于不能有效的浏览照片。它真正所拥有的是一个iPhone或者Touch空间的视频，可以装在一个唇膏套子大小的装置里。
大且方的图标，当然还有Coverflow可以让你操控Mac的功能。它有意思的地方是它的触模式设计。所有的四个面都是触摸屏，这样可以显示一些有趣和特别的设计。完整的无线网络可以使你浏览iTunes。每个人都说iStick不是iPod的替代品。想到更多的是，它是iPod Shuffle的一个大哥哥。
