Summary not yet available | At first sight, I thought I was looking at a new Apple Radio Remote, but turns out it is the new iPod shuffle (only in 1GB). Cupertino does away the white plastic in favor of the non-stratchable aluminum. The screen-less MP3 player, measuring in 1.62" x 1.07" x 0.41", also has a clip that naturally hold on to a purse strap, waistband, yada yada instead of wearing around your neck like Apple suggests you do with the previous gum-packed iPod shuffle. | Kingston is getting in on the PMP market with their new player called the K-PEX, not to be confused with K-FED. Ostensibly, the K-PEX produces good tunes, whereas K-FED most certainly does not produce quality audio. Kingston K-PEX looks like a GPS unit to me for some reason. The K-PEX part stands for Kingston Personal Entertainment Experience. Storage capacities are either 1GB or 2GB and there is a miniSD slot for further storage space as well. | Another portable manufacturer has jumped on the multifunction portable bandwagon. iRiver has introduced the U10, which supports MP3s, WMAs, ASF, OGG, JPG, TXT, Flash Lite 1.1 and MPEG-4 SP video at 320x240 (QVGA). It also features an FM tuner with recording and alarm functions. An equalizer with 10 presets is included. |
