iRiver T8 Music Dongle
iRiver has been a leader in the mp3 player market since they first began and always stood out from Apple and Creative by having a slightly better imagination department when it came to looks. The new T8 seems to buck the trend however and iRiver are obviously looking at a simplistic player to offer the market with a basic USB dongle shaped player.
Although not quite as small and thin as its market leader the iPod shuffle at least this one has a screen but still keeps it more than small enough for your pocket without being too noticeable. It’ll playback most of your favourite file formats MP3, WMA, AAC, WAV, OGG and FLAC, comes in two sizes 2GB and 4GB and its obviously connected by the USB sticking out of it, no need for extra wires etc. Now our info didn’t state what colours it might come in but knowing the way the market is and what iRiver usually produce, expect an array of assorted colours to choose from.
No exact date or price to report however it should be available sooner rather than later.

Sony Walkman A845
April 13, 2010 by admin
Filed under Uncategorized
The Sony Walkman A845 was first spotted last year and was believed to be coming our way in January. Well it has been released today and certainly looks up there to compete with the iPod touch especially if you’re an audiophile looking for a higher quality of sound that Sony can deliver.
With a 2.8” OLED screen, there’s your brighter and clearer visuals. The A845 comes with 16GB of internal storage, ample room for your music collection and videos. Also at a mere 7.2mm the body is ultra-thin. Sony also claims the battery life will last a fantastic 29 hours on a full charge for audio use and also an impressive 9 hours for video use.
What makes this better you ask? Well the A845 is packing some of Sony’s expert tech, the S-Master Digital Amplifier. Now if you’re clued up on Sony gear you’ll know that this is what they’re putting in some of their top dog Hi-Fi’s and Home Cinema units which will deliver what Sony will say “rich, lifelike, ultra-low distortion sound”. Available from today it’s priced at £159.99.

7Digital / Blackberry Music Store App Launched
7Digital will be the default music app for Blackberry users thanks to a deal signed up between the two companies. 7 Digital which recently had 50% of it bought by HMV offers 100% DRM-free downloads and has a rather extensive library.
The price war between 7Digital and iTunes has started already with 7Digital cutting the price of singles to 77c a track, to iTunes 99c per track. As per usual though the UK wont benefit from it as both companies still sell tracks to us at 79p.
Coming first to the Curve 8900, the Bold and the Storm it will come head to head with iTunes and Nokia’s “Comes with Music”. Over the next few weeks/months it will be added to more of its phones.
7Digital’s music is encoded at 320kbps, larger than your average mp3 but obviously a better quality than what iTunes offers to you. It also has a good little tool called “Wi-Fi Auto-Sync”. When the phone is connected to your mobile network, it downloads lower audio quality versions of tracks, then upgrades that to full quality when your phone’s in range of a faster wi-fi connection. Clever eh?

iPod touch 64GB announced
Apple have announced an update to its iPod Touch line, this includes the new 64GB model which will set you back £299.
Prices of the 32GB and 8GB models have dropped in the states to $299 and $199 respectively so expect the UK to follow.
Apart from that there has not been much of a change but it appears that the new models use the same CPU as the iPhone 3GS, since they can run OpenGL 2.0

Sony PM1 HD Snap Camera
With the Flip HD and Creative Vado doing well in the small video camera stakes, Sony is trying to get in there with this little beauty.
Sony PM1 Mobile HD Snap Camera certainly should put itself in there with its sharp looks, 27 degree swivel lens, 5MP sensor with 4x digital sensor to boot. It has five different scene selections for you to use including auto, sports, landscape, low light and back light.It sports a slightly small 1.8” screen but due to the fact the camera is so small, it doesn’t make the camera bad at all.
Everything can then be loaded straight onto your PC or Mac or can be directly uploaded to Youtube, Picasa and Dailymotion. Unfortunately, no news on a price yet.

Zune HD hitting the States in September
September 15th. Mark it in your diaries. Thats the date some leaked Zune packaging was bearing. It’s the PMP we’re all waiting for(if you’re one of these that don’t like Apple especially). Piece by piece fanboys have tried to source the clues and got Microsoft to spill the proverbial beans.
The OLED toting PMP looks nice. It’s specs sound nice, c’mon you know it cant disappoint can it? Well unfortunately the September 15th date is only for the States and Microsoft are keeping quiet as to when us Brits will get a go of it and we havent even got the first Zune which was realeased nearly 3 years ago and has had several models since then too.
Also there’s still no news on a price but a lot of rumours are flying round the £150 mark. C’mon Microsoft pull your finger out and let us limeys in.

IRiver E200 PMP : Official

Archos Clipper : iPod Shuffle Rival
With all these mega expensive PMPs out there and times of financial ruin upon us, the iPod shuffle is the logical answer to those on a budget or those who want the simplicity of one. Those lovely French people at Archos have opened the options with a 2GB mp3 player which will cost us penny counters a measly £18………yes £18.
It doesn’t boast much in the way of specs but neither does the iPod shuffle but the Clipper certainly is a damn sight cheaper. The usual playback and volume controls, all you need to listen to your mp3s on the go.
