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.

Apple TV!



If it's on iTunes, it's on TV.. Apple TV is one of the latest product they came out with, which I suppose to fully utilized the iTunes store, where you can actually purchase and download movies. So that means, you still need to connect this baby to a PC/Mac and then it'll sync with your iTunes.

Best thing about this baby is, it outputs the video quality into HD. But the downside is, it needs a widescreen TV, which I think not everyone have at home. It only plays video formats which you download from iTunes store, and it's protected. No DVD playback and what-so-ever. No recording feature, and doesn't support 5.1 Surround Sound system. It also comes with Apple Remote, which basically like it's iPod's controls, simple. Other features are audio playback (MP3, AAC, WAV, AIFF) and photos (JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, PNG).

Apple TV would not be available til Mid-March, that means it's really soon and it's costing about $299.00 in US, which means it'll be about RM 1200 ++, if it ever reaches here in Malaysia.

For more info, obviously go to Apple website.
