Altec Lansing inMotion iMV712

Altec Lansing has announced its Altec Lansing inMotion iMV712, an elegant, all exclusive for 'iPod Video'. This dock comes with 8.5" inch display and 4" inch subwoofer, which make the iPod Video all for the better entertainment system. It also claims to give you a 'concert-like sound and a true cinematic video experience', but I've yet to try it first, since I haven't seen any yet in Malaysia. They said this is not like the average dock speaker, as it's fitted also with Altec Lansing SFX (Stereo Field Expander), a technology that makes the speakers sound further apart than they actually are. I think the going price is about RM1200++.

A Shuffle with display?

Imagine an iPod but with a display. Matthias Lange has taken the 'clip' idea from the iPod and put a little display on it, which at the end, in my opinion looks a like 'pager'. But anyhow, it has a curvy design which fits perfectly on your pocket. While the orange bits make it more appealing.
Not sure about when it's coming out or how much it cost, but this Pocket MP3 is definitely in my wish list.

Sony Walkman goes Drag & Drop

Some people have avoided getting a Sony MP3 player because of the dreaded SonicStage software that is required to transfer music to and from their portable devices. With the Sony B100 Walkman, however, you will be able to cast SonicStage aside in favor of good ol' drag-and-drop.

It hasn't been confirmed, but it appears that the B100 will show up via USB Mass Storage, allowing you to plunk in your musical content without having to go through that hideous SonicStage filter. what's more, the B100 will handle MP3s, non-DRM WMAs, and possibly even AAC. They might even abandon ATRAC while they're at it.

No word on price or availability, but Sony might actually make some headway against you-know-who with this development.

Privacy Screen Protector for iPod

For those who don't like sharing their screen with other people while watching a movie, photos or just too embarrased to show the current music you're playing, here's just the thing for you, the iPod Video Privacy Screen by iStyles. Price are at about RM35, almost the same price as average screen protector you get on the market now. Of course it's only ideal for the iPod video.

While it may protect you from people beside you (who probably thinks you're crazy for laughing at blank screen), it still won't stop people from behind you!

MP3-player Sony S700 Series

I seem to be researching a lot in non-ipod gadget out on the market that's small and has FM Tuner built-in. This nifty little gadget caught my eye recently. It's the Sony S700 Walkman series. Currently available in 1/2/4 GB storage.

The player builds on flash-memory, comes with a color OLED display and an FM-tuner. Apart from all that it has another highlight that characterizes this offering against the backdrop of the market. To be precise, this feature has nothing to do with the player itself – it is the bundled noise cancelling headphones. Such “frills” are not a rare occasion among clip-on and over-band type headsets, but the in-ear “form-factor” presence of this system is an utterly crucial and newsworthy fact.

The fact is, metal in the chassis of just about any device coming from the family of personal electronics adds a few points to its appeal automatically. Luckily, it seems, Sony is also aware of that. And what is more, they regularly apply this knowledge to the line-up. Hence, the S705F utilizes some metal as well, specifically its chrome-coated metal / plastic in the construction ratio is almost 50/50.



only one word to describe it.....kewwll.
