Sony NW-S706F: No noise, please.
Edvarcl Heng | Oct 12, 2006
Right, so Sony has come clean. The mysterious MP3 player that we spied is Sony's latest offering with built-in noise-canceling technology. According to the Sony press release, microphones situated in the 13.5 EX headphones, will capture ambient noise and the MP3 player will play an inverse wave matching the noise to cancel it out. Though that's old hat for headphone manufacturers like Sennheiser, this is still the first time we heard it implemented in the MP3 player itself.
There will be three different capacities: 1GB, 2GB and 4GB. And battery life is rated at 50 hours. That's a fair bit, but no pricing details are available.

Bitoy Cube100: It's hip to be cube
Edvarcl Heng | Oct 11, 2006
At 3.6 inches with a 320 x 240-pixel display, it's good enough to rank in the portable video world. With its black screen border and white facade, it reminds us of the iriver U10. However, rather than a D-Click interface, the physical controls are situated on the four sides of the player. The manufacturer claims the tempered glass surface of the screen is good enough to act as a mirror when the display is off, but we think it's probably a fingerprint magnet as well.
Video formats supported include MPEG-4 simple profile, MOV and MPEG-1. There is also MP3 and WAV codec support for audio as well as two preinstalled games. No news on its availability outside of China.

O'Neill H3 Fat Controller: Love me tender, glove me sweet
Edvarcl Heng | Oct 11, 2006
We can't put a finger on it, but the O'Neill H3 Fat Controller Glove seems to be a rather handy device. Fancy circuitry at the back of the glove ensures back-of-the-hand intuitiveness for playback control. A built-in radio transmitter allows us to finger track skipping and volume controls while our iPod sits snug in the pocket. We also applaud the waterproof control system which lets us wave goodbye to electronics foul-ups from the elements.
Perfect for iPod owners with butter fingers on a ski slope. Stops them from getting cold feet… or hands as the case may be.

iRocker: Kicking back with an iPod
Edvarcl Heng | Oct 11, 2006
Sit back, plug in and relax. The iRocker is a chair with a docking difference. Besides built-in speakers, a bass unit and an adjustable back, it also has an iPod dock. It's not a big thing in these Made-For-iPod days, but this here arse cushion seeks to vacuum your bank account with prices ranging from US$99 to US$599.

Sony NW-S203F: Keep running
Edvarcl Heng | Oct 10, 2006
Since the iPod and Nike combo is still waddling its way to Asia, Sony decided to make like the hare and hop to the finish line. Who said slow and steady wins the race? We had our foot on the pedometer-enabled NW-S203F and it was a blast. We've seen flashy gym rats stealthily snuck their iPods under their shorts when they spied us huffing and puffing with the Sony. Talk about gym glam.
