The Car Thing also includes a few adhesive clips to help you manage your cables.
The adapter's second USB port is designed to keep your phone charged while using the Car Thing, but you'll have to supply your own cable for that. The Car Thing is powered by USB and includes a 12-volt to dual USB Type-A power adapter and a braided USB Type-A-to-C cable. The puck has a slight angle to it, allowing it to be rotated to point the Car Thing at the driver or account for a steeply sloped dashboard. It's designed for in-car use and mounts on a magnetic puck that's installed with adhesive on your vehicle's dashboard, on a vent with included clips or on a bracket that slips into the unused CD slot on your car's stereo. Given how quickly the company decided to pack up shop, I can’t really recommend purchasing one if you’re expecting years of support, but if you want to know what Spotify hardware looks like, it’s there for the taking.Simply put, the Spotify Car Thing is a Bluetooth remote control for the Spotify app running on your phone. Last dance - Spotify reportedly has other hardware tests in the works that could see the light of day, and the Car Thing remains available for purchase at the discounted price of $49.99. What if the Car Thing could stream music without the help of a phone, perhaps with built-in speakers so you can take it out of your car if you want? Or what if Spotify bought a company like Mighty, and tried to offer an iPod Shuffle-type device of its own? There are lots of options, it’s really just a matter of spending the money and trying it.
Spotify, as one of the biggest streaming services in the world, is in a unique position to fill that niche, and maybe even make it popular again.
The iPod is dead, but I don’t think the desire for dedicated music devices ever fully went away. What if Spotify just sold a cheap music player like the Mighty Vibe? Mighty
