PonoPlayer is a portable music player created by Neil Young's company, PonoMusic, as the result of a successful Kickstarter campaign.

[5] In September 2012, Neil Young appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman with a prototype PonoPlayer announcing his plans for the PonoMusic ecosystem.

The device was based around the Texas Instruments OMAP3630 SoC,[3] which included an ARM Cortex-A8, 256 MB of RAM, and ran a modified version of Android 2.3 (API level 10).

The PonoPlayer measured 13×5×2.5 cm in a shallow triangle shape designed to fit in a pocket but also keep the display visible whilst sitting on a desktop or stereo.

[11] In April 2017 Young announced the end of the PonoPlayer,[12] blaming record companies for charging too much for high resolution formats.
