Shakeable MP3 Player from Samsung

20100215601

Announced during Samsung’s CES press conference, the TicToc is believed a perfect alternative to Apple’s iPod Shuffle. Based on a built-in motion sensor, TicToc allows the users to change tunes by shaking the player slowly or quickly. The more slowly you shake the player, a much gentler music will be chosen, and vice versa. There’s a big button on one end to control the volume and a headphone port on the other. Turn the button to face the ground when you want to decrease the volume and make sure the button faces up if you’d like to increase the volume. The Samsung TicToc could support MP3, WMA, OGG, and FLAC audio formats with 12 hours of battery life. It will soon be available in two versions (2GB and 4GB capacities) but still no price has been announced. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Music Drop MP3 Player

201001121201

The designers always know clearly what we’ll want, and they’ve come up with the products already before we consumers realize our needs. Just look at the Music Drop Mp3 Player, it’s obviously another product meant for “unexpected pleasure”. It adopts a projection system to take the place of traditional LCD screens and therefore allows the users to check out relevant information on their hands, the paper or even walls. Light-weight, portable, personalized-shape and an easy way to use, all those advantages make the player a ‘most-needed product’ on our grocery list. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Share the Music!

20100112801

The music is for sharing, for example, you could enjoy the same music with your friends by using the same pair of earphones. But what if three or more people want to enjoy the same music? Plug more pairs of earphones to your iPhone? You must be kidding. So you’ll need the ‘Altec Lansing Mini’, a practical mini speaker that creates a 360-degree sound field and therefore allows you to share perfect music with your buddies all the time.

It is applicable to any players with a 3.5mm audio port and powered by a built-in rechargeable lithium battery. And the point I love most is the interesting way to turn on the speaker and adjust its volume, which is all controlled by a simple twist. That is, you need to twist the speaker to a certain degree to make it work and twist it further to control the volume. Cool! [Read the rest of this entry...]

20091218501

The further we move on, the more acutely we feel that we kids born in the 80s are the fortunate generation, as we had rather an unforgettable time before cell phones, computers and players came to us. We had boom boxes those days, and we do miss them a lot. Still luckily, we now could have them back, in a new form. Look at these MP3 players, they’re portable devices with OLED screens and support MP3/WMA/WAV audio formats. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Liberate your hands! That’s not a female emancipation’s slogan, but actually what a player asks you to do. Thanks to the finger ring that comes along, the Melody Balloon could be easily controlled while it flies in the air when you’re listening to the music. Isn’t that funny? Imagine a young girl comes to you, accompanied by a flying player…That’s so cool! [Read the rest of this entry...]
