Archipod: Backyard home office in a pod
Posted by admin in ipod docks on February 8, 2010
There’s nothing wrong with wanting your sanctuary to take the form of a futuristic pod. But you have to be willing to find one that doesn’t disrupt your back yard’s harmony with nature. The Archipod, like a coconut, is smooth and white on the inside and brown and rugged on the outside. Created in the UK, the Archipod was conceived out of “frustration at the commuting lifestyle, with its attendant road congestion, air and noise pollution, road rage, running costs and time loss”. Indeed, if you’re looking for a home office that will make you feel like you’re several light-years away from modern society and its discontents, head over to Archipod’s Web site and prepare to open the pod bay doors.

Apple adds video camera to new iPod nano
Apple sure took long enough to get to this, but just as rumored, the iPod nano is seeing a hotly-anticipated refresh today. The big addition? A camera that just so happens to shoot stills and live video. On the lower left of the new nano, you’ll find a camera as well as a speaker, but unfortunately you’ll have to sync it with your computer before you upload it to YouTube. The camera-laden nanos will be available starting today in a rainbow’s worth of hues, with the 8GB model pegged at $149 and the 16GB edition at $179. Oh, and oddly enough, the iPod nano is officially the only dedicated iPod with a camera, leaving the iPod touch — and every human on the planet scratching their head in confusion.
Sansa ipod
Posted by admin in Review, ipod docks on December 2, 2009
It looks like SandDisk is not messing around to get its Sansa players out on the market. The flash memory manufacturer presented in fact the Sansa Connect MP3 player over this year’s CES, and it received a lot of positive feedback.
The new player comes with a 2,2 inch TFT color screen, an internal speaker and flash memory instead of hard disks. The really innovative feature, however, is the Wi-Fi connectivity. The Sansa will be able to connect to the Internet from any open wireless hotspot, creating a myriad of new opportunities.
SanDisk
is claiming for instance that users will be able to share music and photos, to interact with other users, recommend new stuff, listen to streaming radio over the Internet and the like. Here is a quote from the press release: “the new Sansa Connect will boast innovative Internet capabilities designed to keep music aficionados connected to a wide range of new music via subscription services and streaming Internet radio1 with no PC required. Designed to work with premium Internet services, the flash-based MP3 player will also contain community features for recommending music and photos with the simple click of a button and a “live” Wi-Fi connection.”
Some people are speculating that in the near future a microphone add-on could be included, meaning that the MP3 player could also be used for peer-to-peer VoIP applications. I am not sure whether the Sansa will erode significant market share from the iPod, but its innovative use of Wi-Fi capabilities will certainly raise the bar for rival producers.
