Nokia 5800 Navigator Edition Announced

Posted by Ade as Cellphones, Cool Stuff, Portable Media, Portable Media Players

For those who took the plunge and became an early adopter for the 5800 XM, here's a bit of bad news. First, the cheaper but not exactly lower-end version of this phone, the 5530, is almost coming out. And now Nokia announced that a Navigator Edition of the 5800 is coming out pretty soon. It still uses the same specs as the older model, but this phone has been made to replace your Personal Navigation Assistant. The phone comes with lifetime voice-guided drive and walk navigation licenses and accessories like car charger and car-mount kit. The phone will come out this quarter for around $400.

Alleged iPod touch 3G Pictures surface. And it has a camera!

Posted by Ade as Apple, Portable Media Players, iPod

For many, the iPod touch is the perfect portable multimedia device. The amount of what you can do in such a little package is amazing by itself. So I was wondering the other day how Apple can make the iPod touch even better. These pictures surfaced in a Chinese forum. Allegedly a prototype of a 3rd Generation iPod touch, these pictures show that the possible successor to the popular mp3 player may have a camera.

I'm taking this one with a boulder of salt. We wouldn't know for sure if this is real until Apple releases it, but we can hope, can we?

Samsung S3 Slim

Posted by Jim as Cool Stuff, Music, Portable Media Players

Let's give good 'ol Samsung the spotlight, much has been covered in quad-media these days for the Apple, Sony, Creative and Microsoft lines of MP3 players. I like options, as many as possible, which may not be equal options because we do have our own favorites, but options nonetheless. The Samsung S3 Slim was released June 2008 at a suggested retail price of US$79.99. Priced fairly I think due to the decreasing costs of flash memory these past months. I'd guess it'll still go down when we hit the holiday season. CNET and ZDNet rates this consumer product at 7.0 out of 10 which to me says it's good for the money. Note that ...

Gadgets Are a Girl’s “NEW” Best Friend

Posted by Jim as Apple, Cool Stuff, Gadgets, Hardware and Gadget Features, Portable Media Players, Portable Media Players

Okay. Hmmm... first time I heard this, I didn't get it too. According to yahoo.com's tech blog section tech gadgets have become our girls new best friend! From a survey they did, out of 1,750 adults, 26% said that they are wanting to receive battery powered thing-a-ma-jigs from their sweeteroos! That got me thinking... 26% is noticably high for "things" that are just gaining popularity vs. the standard gifts of roses, chocolates, love poems... Yesterday, I was strolling in a mall with my 10-year-old daughter when she tugged me towards the electronics section. I was surprised, really... she was leading the stroll, probably waiting for something to catch her eye or my eye...

An Apple Surprise!

Posted by Jim as Apple, News, Portable Media Players, iPod

A tale of two worlds: The guy who woke up, opened the Apple website (a cult member no less): "I knew it! I knew it! It was worth the wait. (motions to do the macarena geeky dance). Where's my plastic? Oh there you are! Come here you... come here you... aahhhh.... let's go to the apple store you and I. (winks at his card, and hippity-hops out the door). From a distance, he shouts 'I LOVE YOU STEVE JOBS!' ".Now the guy who woke up, opened the Apple website (a high ranking cult member, an early adopter definitely):"Noooooooo!!! Why did you do it! I trusted you... (and in an eeny meeny voice) I loved you! (squeeky whimper). Whyyyyy!!! Back to reality:News news news. ...

Sexy Aiptek A-HD 720P High Definition Camcorder: Good Enough for a Bite?

Posted by DummyGeekGurl as Cameras, Gadgets, Portable Media Players, Portable Media Players

Lauryn Hill used to have a song that had the lyrics, “I used to love him..” Well, I have an identical line for this baby; my wishes of getting it I sadly had to let go of: “I used to want you.” I had wanted this one, an Aiptek because, I gotta admit, her whore-y, glossy, scarlet look just called to me! However, because of the poor quality of her shots, I had to say, “Goodbye to you...” I had noticed, on a local buy and sell web-marketplace, that people move on from their gadgets because of one thing: they wanted to upgrade to the one with the better output that they had sights on in the first place. So while you are definitely eye candy, Aiptek A-HD 720P High Definition Camcorder in yummy, whore-y, harlot red, I have to resist you... Coz you’re not irresistible enough for me. :p (...though further research made me reconsider for a moment there...) Samples of its pictures and video clips when you hit the "MORE" button.

Griffin comes out with Evolve

Posted by Rogue as Portable Media Players, iPod

Griffin is turning out to be a little Apple. The company has been churning out really cool looking items that make you want to buy them the moment you see them. They might have a little Jonathan Ive at their employ. Anyway, one of Griffin's cool looking gadgets will now be shipped to stores. The Evolve is an iPod dock/speaker set that is one of the best looking I've seen in years. As mentioned, it is both an iPod Dock and also a charging station for the two speakers. The cool thing about the Evolve is that after charging, the speakers can be detached from the, ehem, "mother unit" and it will crank up sounds from ...

Affordable but high quality earphones from Creative

Posted by Rogue as Gadgets, Music, Portable Media Players, Sound

I have become an earphone addict ever since I got my iPod and had my cmoy amp built. I am constantly on the lookout for the best sounding earphones in the market. Of course, I have one big condition -- it has to be affordable. Although I love to get my hands on those Etymotics in-ear monitors but I have a standing policy that if it costs more than my second hand Denon integrated amp then it's too pricey. A number of companies have been coming out with really good earphones because of the increased demand for high quality monitors. This is one sector that the popularity of the iPod has immensely helped. In fact, new ...

What [that darned phone] tells about the next iPod

Posted by Jeff as Hardware and Gadget Features, Portable Media Players, iPod

(My apologies for the title; I did not want to upset anybody with yet another iPhone article, or so some might think if I used the iPhone word) Now that the immaculate phone of multiple facets is finally out the door, we can finally start looking into the next generation of iPods, like any true Apple fanboy. Apple is a company with the most extreme of marketing strategies and generally play its cards close to the chest. And while they never had a history of making product announcements until they are made available on that same day, last Friday's events will certainly go down as the release date for another product that's been pre-announced (oh, how times have changed) - and ...

Everybody Wants To Be iPod-Compatible

Posted by Sophia as Apple, Cool Stuff, Furniture, Gadgets, Hardware and Gadget Features, Music, Portable Media Players, iPod

It seems the most unlikely products want to be iPod-compatible. That's how powerful the Apple iPod brand has become: it's now a selling point for companies wanting a little boost in their sales. Here are just some of the examples of products that have made it a point to please the MP3 player giant: Pause: iPod-Compatible Bed The Pause by Design Mobel is the world's first bed that lets you play your iPod with it. They also call it the "world's most comfortable iPod Dock".
