This geeky multimedia device is designed in the shape of the famous R2-D2 and comes complete with 2GB of memory. The 2GB of memory of the R2-D2 MP4 player isn’t exactly mind-blowing, but the geek street cred given to you by owning such a device is. In addition to playing music, the R2-D2 MP4 can also store pictures and video. Perhaps the greatest feature of this gadget is the included pair of C-3PO headphones. If you are looking to get your hands on the R2-D2 MP4 player, you need only to check out Toys R’ Us. Here’s hoping this little gadget inspires [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nothing-npod) to make an R2-D2 iPod sooner rather than later. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sci-fi Themed Multimedia Devices:** Opportunity to create and market multimedia devices inspired by popular science fiction franchises. - **Geek Street Cred:** Opportunity to develop and sell products that cater to geek culture and offer street credibility. - **Novelty Headphones:** Opportunity to design and manufacture unique and themed headphones for niche markets. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in creating new, unique multimedia devices. - **Entertainment Retail:** Opportunity to tap into the geek culture market by offering merchandise and devices inspired by popular science fiction franchises. - **Audio Accessories:** Opportunity to create and market themed headphones that cater to specific niche markets. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Active Audiophile Music Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astellkern-p1.md) - [Transparent Cyberpunk MP3 Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-device.md) - [Real Life Cinematic Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/g1t4m1n1-droid.md) - [Galactic Robot-Inspired Puzzle Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-r2d2.md) - [Multifunctional Compact Music Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playdisc.md) - [Movie-Inspired Digi-Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-tamagotchi.md) - [Fan-Made Digital Audio Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nothing-npod.md) - [Sci-Fi Series Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-star-wars-day.md) - [Modernized Portable Music Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tl1-music-player.md)
