Gear Lover - by Craig Hill

Korean portable digital audio player maker mobiBLU has recently introduced a new type of MP3 player, the A10 UFO. The device can link to other Bluetooth devices and is unusual for building in a 2W flat panel speaker from NXT Technologies. It can play back ASF, MP3, OGG and WMA format files. There is no display, but a vibration function is integrated, presumably to match the device's namesake of Unidentified Flying Object and entertain onlookers while music is playing.

The built-in lithium-ion battery pack is rated for six hours when the speaker is used to play music, or 15 hours via the headphones that connect via a 3.5mm audio jack. The A10 UFO is available in gloss red or black, with 512MB through to 8GB capacities. No pricing or release date information has been announced, though mobiBLU offers its players in the US.

New In 2009: Cheap Blu-ray Players

January 2nd 2009 10:40

It is possible that such players could be priced under $100, and LG have announced they will have expanded services such as Netflix, YouTube, CinemaNow, and perhaps even Amazon VOD, Hulu and Rhapsody. If LG start, it is only a matter of time before the other companies start competing for the download dollar.

LG has announced that their 2009 line of "Network Blu-ray Players" will not only include Netflix, but YouTube support along with CinemaNow downloads. They will unveil this new line of players next week at CES.

While many may interpret all this connectivity as a sign of actual home theater/internet convergence, a more skeptical onlooker may see LG hedging their bets on Blu-ray to entice consumers into buying new media players.

LG Blu-ray With Netflix

MEDIA RELEASE FROM LG

LG ELECTRONICS ANNOUNCES NEW STREAMING CONTENT PARTNERS FOR ITS NETWORK BLU-RAY DISC PLAYERS

LG to Offer Consumers Unparalleled Access to Streaming Entertainment from CinemaNow, YouTube and Netflix

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Dec. 30, 2008 – LG Electronics today announced the expansion of network entertainment options for its Network Blu-ray Disc players through new alliances with CinemaNow and YouTube.

Available on new LG Network Blu-ray Disc Players in the first half of 2009, these new services complement LG’s instant streaming from Netflix and advanced Blu-ray capabilities to deliver consumers an exceptional entertainment experience. (In 2008, LG was the world’s first manufacturer to stream movies instantly from Netflix on a Network Blu-ray Disc Player.)

CinemaNow – an innovator in digital entertainment technology, delivering high-quality movies, TV shows and videos to users through online connectivity – and YouTube – a leading online video community for people to discover, watch, and share originally created videos – will be available in LG’s 2009 line of Network Blu-ray Disc players to be unveiled next week at the 2009 International CES.

“As millions of U.S. consumers view and download movies or TV shows through the Internet, they are demanding easier ways to access content and more home entertainment options,” said Tim Alessi, director of product development, LG Electronics USA.

“From Blu-ray to instant streaming from Netflix to CinemaNow and YouTube, LG is bridging the gap between packaged media and video-on-demand services to provide entertainment solutions for consumers’ demand for content,” he said. “With these new alliances, LG continues its innovation leadership by allowing consumers easy access to multiple entertainment options in one device.”

CinemaNow: Instant Streaming of Hollywood’s Latest Hits

CinemaNow has pushed the envelope of digital video distribution, becoming the first Web site to offer Pay-Per-View movies from major studios and the first broadband distributor of high definition (HD) content. Collaborating with CinemaNow will enable LG Electronics to offer consumers access to more than 14,000 titles from the major movie studios, broadcast and cable television shows, more than 250 independent film titles and music videos from all major labels. Key benefits include the capability to:

* Browse the entire CinemaNow premium content catalog, including latest Hollywood hits,
* Instantly stream content to enjoy on compatible devices, and
* Access and watch movies purchased from other CinemaNow-powered stores.

“We are extremely pleased to be providing CinemaNow premium content services to these innovative new products from LG Electronics that are helping to drive convenient consumer access to digital entertainment at home,” said Mark Ely, executive vice president of strategy, Sonic Solutions (NASDAQ: SNIC), parent company of CinemaNow.

YouTube: Original Streaming Video Content

Leading the way in providing unlimited access to online content, LG’s alliance with a prolific online video community, YouTube, will allow consumers to instantly stream millions of Web videos directly from the Internet to an LG Network Blu-ray Player for viewing on their television (without a personal computer). Key benefits include:

o Unlimited access to millions of videos on topics such as current events, instructional videos for hobbies and interests, comedic and viral videos and

o Easy searching, thumbnail previews and multiple screen size viewing options.

Netflix: High Definition Instant Streaming

Now available to consumers as a free on-line upgrade, LG’s first Network Blu-ray Disc Player (BD300) now delivers a growing number of Netflix titles in high-definition (HD). This new access to high-definition streaming content enhances the existing standard-definition streaming service that LG and Netflix first brought to consumers in 2008.

Future LG Network Blu-ray Disc Players will also offer consumers a variety of ways to enjoy more than 12,000 choices of movies and TV episodes from Netflix. Netflix members owning these devices pay one low monthly subscription for unlimited DVD rental and unlimited streaming.

LG’s full line of Network Blu-ray Disc Players, additional new content alliances and other new products will be revealed at the LG Electronics CES press conference on Jan. 7, 2009 at the Venetian/Sands and will be on display at the 2009 International CES – Booth #8214, Central Hall, Las Vegas Convention Center.

Apple iPod Touch ver. 2

September 11th 2008 00:45

Together with the fourth generation iPod Nano, the iPod Touch ver.2 was also unveiled by Apple CEO Steve Jobs at a special event in San Francisco.

So what's new?

Well, the new iPod Touch is slimmer, lighter, sleeker and sexier than the original. The contoured enclosure is made of polished steel which looks bloody fantastic but will no doubt be a nightmare to keep clean. There are some great additions like the volume control buttons on the left side which provides quick access to one of the most frequently used controls and the built-in speaker which is great for casual listening and sharing something with a mate without having to use headphones.

Battery life has been improved to provide up to 36 and 6 hours of audio and video playback respectively.

Perhaps the biggest innovation for the iPod Touch ver. 2 is the built-in Nike iPod support. You can now use your iPod Touch to track your running time, distance and calories burned by using the Nike iPod Sensor (available separately). Just slip the sensor into your Nike shoe and start your run and let the devices communicate wirelessly - it's that simple. All this data can then be transferred to the PC via iTunes and uploaded onto nikeplus.com for time keeping, monitoring etc.

Size and weight

Height: 4.3 inches (110 mm)
Width: 2.4 inches (61.8 mm)
Depth: 0.33 inch (8.5 mm)
Weight: 4.05 ounces (115 grams)

Capacity

8GB, 16GB, or 32GB

Price (US$):

8GB: $229.00
16GB: $299.00
32GB: $399.00

4th-Gen Apple iPod Nano Revealed

September 10th 2008 07:30

Apple CEO Steve Jobs has taken the wraps off the fourth generation Apple iPod Nano complete with a return to the thin chewing gum strips of the second-gen version albeit in a more svelte, curved, all-aluminium and glass design.

The new curved and oval-shaped Nano is designed with ergonomics in mind and fits much nicer in the hand while the new accelerometer "rock and roll over" function is a welcome addition to the range and allows the 4G Nano to be listened, watched and played in new ways. The built-in maze game using the accelerometer is brilliant and comparable to the Apps available in the App Store for the iPhone.

Finding a song you want to hear has never been easier - just press and hold the centre button to browse by album or artist. When you find the right song, press the centre button again to add it to your on-the-go playlist.

Another new feature utilising the accelerometer is the "shake to shuffle" function which shuffles to a different song in your music library by, of course, shaking the Nano. It also smartly disables itself when the screen is off or when the hold button is switched on.

Photos can now be viewed in portrait or landscape mode and movies have never been crisper than on the 2-inch widescreen and 320 x 240 resolution display.

And finally the iPod Nano is now available in a range of nine colours: Black, Silver, Purple, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red and Fucshia and two storage capacities: 8GB (2000 songs) or 16GB (4000 songs).

Height:
3.6 inches (90.7 mm)
Width:
1.5 inches (38.7 mm)
Depth:
0.24 inch (6.2 mm)
Weight:
1.3 ounces (36.8 grams)

Prices (US$):
8GB: $149
16GB: $199

Microsoft's new 8GB Zune in Blue

September 9th 2008 00:40

Big news if you're a fan of the colour blue and Microsoft's Zune MP3 player - here's the...erm...blue Zune 8GB music player for those that prefer something different from the trademark black or whatever colour is available from the palette.

Rumours of the mythical blue Zune has done the rounds on cyberspace for a year but nothing has substantiated until now - perhaps MS thought it would actually be wise to capitalise on the hype afterall? As with all Zune players, the 8GB blue zone comes with an in-built FM tuner and Buy from FM capabilities (the option that enables users to tag songs on the radio for easy purchasing when they arrive back at their PC). There's also wireless sync, Zune to Zune wireless sharing, video playback and all the rest of the Zune goodies.

Also available in silver, the 8BG Zune holds up to 2,000 songs, 25,000 pictures, or 25 hours of video. [frys.com]

Sony Xplod car stereo with direct connectivity to iPod

August 29th 2008 01:40

These days, portable MP3 players are common pieces of gadgets people carry around with them on a daily basis. The popularity of products like the iPod has revolutionised the way we listen to and carry our music so it comes as no surprise that other tech-whizzes are scrambling over themselves to find ways to cater for our everyday items like Apple's venerable MP3 player.

Despite carrying their own range of MP3 players, electronic giants Sony also realises that the iPod are by far and large the most popular player on the market and by catering for this external product, they can in return, increase the popularity of their own products like the Xplod range of car stereos which has a healthy fan-base in its own right. Four new Xplod in-dash head units have just been released that offers direct connection to compatible iPod music players, allowing users to charge and control their iPod devices on the road via Xplod head units for the first time.

The top-of-the-line unit (model CDX-GT630UI) is Sony’s first car stereo that can connect directly to iPod players, other digital music players and USB thumb drives via a USB connection. It also includes Sony’s unique ZAPPIN function, which offers a way of searching and listening to music.

The head unit can connect to the iPod or other digital music players via a USB port thus allowing users to control and charge their devices and enjoy exceptional sound quality. It also supports the iPhone!

While some head units also offers connectivity to external music players, users can only control their music player via its control pad but the Sony head unit’s Quick-BrowZer feature allows users to control and select music via the “rotate and push” button. It also has the Jump Mode feature that helps users quickly search through even the largest music libraries and quickly find the tracks they are looking for, and Passenger Control which allows passengers to control the connected iPod itself while being charged. Additionally, the head unit’s DM technology enhances the sound quality of compressed audio files.

The three other new Sony head units from the Xplod range includes the CDX-GT430IP, CDX-GT330 and CDX-GT130 and they all come with an interface that allows for control of most iPod players.

Prices for the new Xplod range starts from US$80 for the CDX-GT130 and up to US$160 for the top-of-the-range CDX-GT630UI with sales starting in September. [sony.com]

A speaker with 'egg-cellent' sound

May 8th 2008 05:34

There's no question that the iPod and other MP3 players have revolutionalised the way we listen to music both on the go or at home when attached to a docking station or a set of speakers.

This egg shaped speaker and docking station by designer Nathan Gabriele is the perfect complement to your state-of-the-art iPod. There are four transformations for this speaker - charge, use in base, standalone and take out while the basic egg shaped can be unmounted to form two speakers, a subwoofer and a base for docking a MP3 player or for recharging purposes.

And when the need for portability arises, it also comes with its own custom-fit carry bag - we bet people will look on in interest at what you're carrying! [yankodesign.com]

HYmini Wind Charger

April 7th 2008 03:38

The power in the air

Available in a variety of colours

A few weeks ago I did a post on the freeloader 8.0 a solar charger for portable devices that uses the power of the sun to fuel your hand held gadgets. Now the people at Hymini have developed an affordable, environmentally minded alternative that is equally adaptable.

The HYmini wind-charger takes windmill technology that has existed for eons and has refined it to store electricity for your iPod, mobile phones, PDA, mp3 and digital camera.
The minimum gust that can get things happening is 9mph and a maximum velocity of 40mph is optimal for charging power.

The palm of power

According to the HYmini website:
"A Lithium Ion polymer rechargeable battery has around 500 complete charge cycles. If the battery is fully charged every time, it should have at least of 1000mAh of stored capacity for you to transfer this power to other 5V devices up to 500 times. A conventional mobile phone has around 0.4Ah to 0.7 Ah of battery capacity."

As for charge time the site says:
“With conventional 110-220 wall plug, HYmini takes at least 4 hours to fully charge. It depends on the environmental condition and the number of solar battery you have, Solar batteries can potentially fully charge HYmini’s internal battery.
Note: Wind generator is designed as a supplemental source, hence can not fully charge HYmini”

Though it seems that the charger still needs to some help from the traditional power socket this kind of development still seems like a step on the right direction for the greener gadgets revolution that has been growing in the last few years. I wonder what we will see come on the market in the next few years…maybe someday a bit of methane from a fart could end up being all we need to listen to our favourite tunes?

To find more about the HYmini charger please visit hymini.com

Here are some Specifications from HYmini

Here is some video footage discussing the HYmini wind charger

The 32GB iPod Touch is available to buy online at the Australian Apple store. As for the 16GB iPhone, you could either wait until it is officially sold here or till someone starts selling them on eBay although a lot of tech whizzes are expecting a price drop for the 8GB as a result of the model.
