Thomson have introduced 3 new music players to the market. The EH306, EM2600 and the EM2802. The EM2802 stands out because of it’s thin metal case. It comes with 1Gb or 2Gb memory and a 1.5″ colour OLED screen. This is one device which will be competing with the iPod Nano.
The EH306 is a disc based player which holds a nice 6Gb of data. It has the same 1.5 inch screen. The EM2600 is just a standard player with half a gig or 1 gig of memory.

We are slowly seeing the release of Blu-ray burners and the new device from I-O Data is another to join them. The BRD-UM2/U costs $999 and connects via USB 2.0. The device it’s self looks very nice.
The burner can write up to 2X speeds on a blu-ray disc and 8x on a DVD disc.

I find as I get older that I tend to not hear my mobile phone trying to wake me up. Then I came across the home made volume booster. It requires a glass and a phone. Basically you stick the phone in the glass, and aim towards your head. Amazing 🙂

Do you remember the early days when you had to stand up to change the channel on the TV and then the wired remote control came out and it was bliss. Then the infra red remote came out and it was even better because the wire didnt need to stretch the whole length of the room. We tend to get more lazier as something new comes out and this is no exception.
Not a problem with this new voice activated remote control. You can train it with 4 different voices and then tell it what to do. No doubt by 2020 there will be mind activated remote controls for those who are at that point, just too lazy to even talk and tell it what to do.

The Creative Zen Autvana are a set of ear phones which cut out 90% of ambient noice and deliver crystal clear music. They have a range of 20Hz to 20KHz and have a sensitivity of 115dB to 20dB. They look nice and will be selling for way under $100.
Not sure if I fancy ever using one of these things. It works by inserting that long flexible peice of rubber in to your ear and uses bone conduction to isolate your voice from the crowd. It will be coming out later on this year.

This new addition from Axes looks like another top quality PMP. It has been numbered the VP8360-B/100 and it offers a nice 100Gb storage space for many formats such as AVI, MOV, MPEG-1/4, MP3, WMA, AAC and WAV. It has a 3 in 1 memory card reader, FM and TV out. Also the 3.5″ TFT display as expected 🙂 It is available in Japan for $610.

This nice looking iMac concept design found over at yankodesign is very posh. Makes you wonder if devices will go this way with transparent screens and keyboards.
This particular design features a 30″ LCD display which is totally transparent when the iMac is not in use. Also various levels of translucency can be set. I want one!

The Navman iCN 750 is a highend sat nav system which now includes a 4Gb internal hard drive. This is the only down fall of the device as it would have been better with 4Gb flash because of access speeds. The new device will feature an iPod like wheel to navigate with and it is possible to download guided tours with images and put them directly in to your itierary. This high end sat nav system should sell for around $700.
