New iPod Shuffle Released

Apple redesigned their infamous iPod shuffle to now worlds smallest MP3 player. Holy shit, this one is really cute! The size is just slightly bigger than a thumb, aluminum body with a clip, reasonable prices of only $79 and come in 1 GB of storage. Only that operating system requirement; it need Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4 or later or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later. Why not XP Service Pack 1? I'm just confused! Apart from that, I like it. I've long been looking for a player that should be cool, light and not that expensive. I will sure buy this shuffle if only I ain't broke:)

Give me a name of your iPod.

Oddly enough, some dudes, come up with the strange idea, have recently launched the web site iPodNames on which people who own iPod can register for $ 1 per year to name their things.

In return, you will be able to:

Show the world your iPod's Name
Contact other iPod users (if they have set that option)
Obtain exclusive "iPodNames.com" rights to that name in the directory
Show the world what you have on your iPod.

Is this one another web2.0 social site? I don't get a slightly thought on what they will be up to, as the site is in very beta. However they are somewhat entrepreneurial and they choose the right brand, iPod.

Sansa e280 rival of iPod Nanno ?

We have seen a couple of mp3 players come and go, naming themselves iPod rival or iPod killer. Still Apple's iPod series are the king, holding majority of the market share. Here comes a new one, Sansa e280 from SanDisk. Can this little thing make a significant impact on the giant brand? It obviously has some potential like the same price as iPod Nanno has but more storage offer that is eight gigabytes of flash memory, and the features like memory expansion slot, FM radio tuner and voice recording are somethings iPod Nanno lack of. Moreover Sansa e280 has reportedly a longer battery life than iPod. Well, I'm watching!
