Today ’s DAP Headlines :
So , whaddya report on the day after Apple ’s ginormous video - capable iPod declaration ? Why cool flash players of course ! Like the smooth , curvyQoolQeefrom Hantel , and the sleekm : robe MR - F20from Olympus , the MR-100 ’s sister cousin . There ’s also a how - to on crap youraverage , generic flare playernot boring ; make it translucent ! And yes , there are design pioneer besides Apple , like this dad who ’s constructingPez Mp3 playersfrom his service department .
Two thumb up to the boys and girls at Hantel for this groovy design . Though feature film - wise it ’s pretty stock transportation , theQoolQee ihas some of the most unique style we ’ve seen in terms of DAPs . Seemingly a hybridization between a banana , shaver , and PC joystick , the QoolQee sports an FM tuner , USB 2.0 sustenance , and four funky color compounding . Comes in 256 MB , 512 MB , and 1 GB , in pillow slip it really makes its mode over here .
Olympus has had oustanding excogitation on their previous DAPs ( see MR-100/500 example that semi - flopped ) , and this flash musician we ’ve reported on before is no different . It ’s them : robe MR - F20 , and we ’ve dug up a review with pictures ( in Korean , no doubt ) . Color covert , transcription options , sleek m : robe style … we’ve really got ta pester Olympus to lend these over here .
You ’ve in all likelihood seen it before ; cell phones , calculators , portable CD players , all being made “ cool ” by the manufacturer using a see - through case . Hence we have theRCW Thumbstick Solid . It ’s semitransparent , and it plays Mp3 ’s . And yes , it ’s still lacking cool , just like my old clear TI adder .
Where would be today without rafts of Mp3 player wrapped inside kooky cases ? Not here , in all probability . The latest is thePez Mp3 player , AKA iPod Shuffle killer . It does the screenless thing with mere playback control and uses USB 2.0 for transferee . File living is Mp3 , WMA , and WMA - DRM , but ripe of all ; the guy wire get these is a stay on - at - home dad work in his cellar . Buy a Pez histrion , and digest this human being ’s trek against “ the giants of Cupertino , Tokyo , and Seoul ” ( from his site ) .
See you next time !
