Check out the new members of our Poken family…

A few weeks ago we officially introduced a stylish Poken Pulse featuring 2 GB of memory. Today we are welcoming the Urban Pop collection: 4 new, cool-looking designs made by Dutch artist GabyGaby

So, who’s this GabyGaby guy?

GABY (407): obviously a new name in the art world. Originally from The Hague but now living in Bussum he surprised a lot of people in the contemporary art world and beyond with his unusual style. Gaby makes art the unconventional way: he uses colors, he Photoshops, he glues, he stitches, he paints and draws (and mixes it), literally outside the old conventions…
He works with all kinds of material (paint, felt-tips, sugar, coke, tape) in different ways (stapling, painting, gluing)
on different backgrounds. It outreaches beyond the common canvas, he uses everything he thinks is possible: on ripped cardboard, sneakers, clothes, action figures, et cetera.

…and now, for a limited time, his canvas is Poken Pulse.

Find out more about GabyGaby at his website and follow him on Twitter.

Sure, from the outside they look like the standard, stylish Poken Pulse. But when you remove the cap you’ll discover some real, slightly eccentric art!

Writer Sandra Baron published an article featuring Poken on Japan-i.

Ken Lee, an engineering grad student from Malaysia at Keio University, carries the three-eyed martian in his messenger bag “all the time” and uses it at networking events. He agrees that it’s a good icebreaker. “It’s easy to go up to someone and say ‘Let’s Poken!’” he says.

She briefly mentions the Japan-collection which is one of the little things we are working on

Apart from the new design, the Poken Pulse brings several other important changes:

* USB Memory
2GB of built in memory so ideal to store the music/video and other files you need while on the road.

* Battery life
While the original poken’s battery lasts for about 6 months, our new Poken Pulse uses far less energy so the battery will last 8 to 12 months.

Dimensions：56mm x 21mm x 10mm
Weight： about 20g
