How to pay with music
Edvarcl Heng | Dec 19, 2005
You are at the boarding gate and the sweetheart in blue is asking for your ticket. You grin. She smiles. You whip out your iPod and the smile gets wider. You play a tune for her and she hands you her number.
You are half right, Romeo. Ingenico has invented the world's first wireless payment system for the iPod and while it may store your e-ticket, transmit the details via FM, and deliver some music at the same time, you will still need to do the romancing bit yourself. And remember to charge that iPod; it certainly ain't cool if it juices out before you enter the cinema.

Delwin wants to be free
Edvarcl Heng | Dec 16, 2005
Poor Delwin indeed, but it's always good to know that your friends aren’t the fair weather sort. The 18-year-old's pals at Princeton are banding together to help pony up the cash needed to keep the RIAA hounds at bay. Faced with a 109-page legal document as well as detailed records of the 4,070 music files once residing in his computer, this undergrad doesn’t have a prayer of a legal chance. So the next best thing? Get rebranded as the martyr of free music sharing and have the global P2P crowd donate money into your coffers. Money, we are sure that RIAA would love to point out could have been given to the poor suffering record artists instead.

Neuros MPEG-4 Recorder 2 for PSP
Juniper Foo | Dec 16, 2005
While the rest of Asia is still waiting for UMD movies from a limited catalog to arrive on our shores, there's another option for PSP owners to get their shows onto their consoles. The Neuros MPEG-4 Recorder 2 works like a standalone digital VCR that records onto flash memory. This means you can plug into any analog video source, including TV and cable, save the content as MPEG-4 video files onto Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick PRO Duo, CompactFlash
Type I and Type II, and Hitachi Microdrives with CF Type II, and playback directly onto your PSP, PDA, laptop or any portable media device that supports the above media. This totally eliminates the need to deal with different proprietary file formats. Now you can rerun that harrowing finale between the Linz siblings and Bransons in The Amazing Race as many times as you want, all on your PSP. Sweet.

Help! My iPod's melting!
Edvarcl Heng | Dec 15, 2005
Now that's hot, hot content. Sizzling hot, like blistering heat wave. Whoosh. We are parched. And we worry whether our Click Wheel will be able to stand up to our panting clicks. Good thing we bought protectors for our slinky iPods. But hey, isn't all that friction going to burn some rubber?
Playboy's latest Bodcast promises to deliver the sexy vibe back into your iPod, though we are rather hoping it will rub off on us, too. Think we will store it in our pants for the next seven days. Excuse us. It's time for another toilet break.

It's gonna be a white Christmas after all
Edvarcl Heng | Dec 14, 2005
For parents in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, the new PSP is going to add to their stocking-filling woes. The rarely seen (outside of Japan) white PSP will be available in two packs: The Value pack (S$405 (US$288.69)) and the Giga pack (S$499 (US$355.69)), with the difference being that the Giga will have a black pouch (instead of the Value's white), no hand strap, a 1GB Memory Stick PRO Duo (versus a 32MB Memory Stick Duo) and additional stuff (cleaning cloth, USB cable and a stand).
We don’t know if Jack Frost is rolling in the snow… erm, dough, but hey, if he has spare change, he can also get himself an additional pouch and hand strap (S$33 (US$23.52)) plus an accessory pouch and cloth (S$26 (US$18.53)). So parents, grab them while you can, mittens and all.
