You act as if this is the first time Disney has "borrowed" from someone else. Considering that the only original films that Disney has come anywhere near would be those made by Pixar, (With the exception of the Fantasia films.) it's safe to say that this kind of blatant disregard to prior art is expected from Disney. <br><br>As for ergonomics, this thing is likely targeted for extremely young consumers. Likely the 5 through 11 set. It make sense to design a player with simple and easily accessible controls while, at the same time, sneaking in as much marketing and familiarity as possible. Kudos on the design, boo on the name. At least hyphenate it. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kr4t05]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 19th 2007 9:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on iriver's Disney Mplayer puts Mickey ears to good use]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/19/irivers-disney-mplayer-puts-mickey-ears-to-good-use/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/19/irivers-disney-mplayer-puts-mickey-ears-to-good-use/</guid><description><![CDATA[i like it. i know its from walt disney, but cmon thats just cool looking]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[rell109]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 20th 2007 8:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on iriver's Disney Mplayer puts Mickey ears to good use]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/19/irivers-disney-mplayer-puts-mickey-ears-to-good-use/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/19/irivers-disney-mplayer-puts-mickey-ears-to-good-use/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think I've said this about at least four other gadgets this week.
