The future of portable media players could look like the MicroMedia Paper concept by Lunar Design creative force behind some of the top brands like Apple, Sony etc. Expected to hit a store near you in 2015, the MicroMedia Paper is a snapshot-sized, ultra-thin disposable display with new radical GUI that can play music, movies, and more. The Paper will come in a pack of 10 for about $50. Other notable features Ultra-thin power generation technology allows the battery to be contained in a replaceable Power Sticker, Touch-sensitive controls on the front of the Paper allow the user to play, pause, and scroll through media & a graphic equalizer allows adjustment to the sound to match the space and source material. With that said with the recent announcement of color electronic paper by hitachi I think it is safe to say you could expect something like this before 2015, at least in Japan anyway - at the least a paper display that can play media from a transmitter. In 2015 I suspect we will be getting our media via wireless chips implanted in the brain.

The combo price of the units - $445 USD. -
