Creative/Zii to bring Android Phone to market?

Creative/Zii to bring Android Phone to market?

Excited I am. The creative line of players while robust and featuring top notch audio quality have often fallen short in terms of usability and UI interaction. Several months ago Creative announced that their “Zii” line of players would have both an in-house OS model as well as an Android model. But these were just MID/audio players to take on the iPod Touch market. The Android model had some pretty awesome specs, though sadly wasn’t a phone nor was it...

Volume limit coming media players EU wide?

Volume limit coming media players EU wide?

If you’re the type that likes to rock out by blaring your music into your little ear canals, you soon could have a nanny watching over your shoulder, or in this case staring back up at you as mp3 players in EU member countries could soon have a default setting of 80 decibels.

But I can say that it has finally started turning into a device I would actually want to own. With the latest updates to the physical design as well as internal features, Microsoft’s Zune is becoming quite the little media player/mobile web browser…even if it is a year or two late to the game. CNet whom gave the new Zune glowing initial...

S.MP3 looks like a yo-yo….but isn’t

S.MP3 looks like a yo-yo….but isn’t

Those of you who like “combo gadgets”, that is, gadgets with multiple uses or functions love the added functionality of having to carry around less gadgets as the multi-gadget is your sort of “one stop shop”. If you were excited I’d be telling you about a multi-function gadget, you’ll be disappointed. Sorry. The S.MP3 Player is an MP3 player (obviously) with a unique design. Created by French designer Nicolas Cinguion, the player...
