"Noise Killer" Panasonic D-Snap SV-SD870N Runs 100 Hours Per Charge

Panasonic's latest D-Snap audio player, the SV-SD870N, is debuting (in Japan at least) with a trio of cool features, though no Bluetooth:
• It can run for "approximately" 100 hours without needing a recharge.
• It can record directly from music source to SD card when docked.
• It has built-in "noise killer" active noise canceling, so that, according to the loosely translated release, "the noise of the train is cut 83 percent at the touch of a button." [Press Release via Akihabara News]

Colossal MP3 Player for Giants or NBA Players

When it comes to MP3 players, most people have the mantra, "Smaller is better." The Colossal MP3 player throws that idea out the window with a massive form factor and buttons large enough for the biggest hands, modeled (parodied?) after the Toshiba gigabeat. The giant DAP has a built-in speaker, but is otherwise basic, with supports for MP3 and WMA files. The packaging says it supports WMV files too, but you're not going to get very far video-wise with its paltry built-in 256MB of memory and what looks like a monochrome LCD screen. Hey, what do you expect for $20? [Flickr via Gadget Lab]

Rhapsody and Haier Go PC-Free with Ibiza Wi-Fi Music Player

Today Rhapsody and Haier launched the Ibiza Wi-Fi music player, which lets you download Rhapsody tracks via Wi-Fi without connecting to a PC first. This is really good news for Rhapsody users, until now there was no true portable device for managing tracks, though Apple, Microsoft and SanDisk (with Yahoo) have launched similar products. The question is, how good will Chinese-electronics maker Haier be at entering a game both Apple and Microsoft have approached only gingerly? Here's a look at the ambitious initial hardware, Haier's first US-destined DAP: More »

MC Square X1 DAP Calms Soul, Reduces Stress

I'll spare you the drawn out, inane ramblings fancied by other Web writers when it comes to the MC Square X1. A digital audio player boasting 512MB of built-in memory (which can be increased to 2GB using microSD cards), the X1 sorta has this whole "oh look, I'm from the future!1" aura about it, as the Cyclops-looking dude holding it in this picture so aptly advertises. The screen is on the small side, coming in at 1.3 inches, so viewing pictures on it may be more of a hassle than it's worth. Pretty janky battery life, too, lasting only about 10 hours per charge. Oh, and it's supposed to help increase your concentration and reduce stress. Nothing like unfounded claims. More »

Latest by Tony C: Geordie LaForge wanna-be? Guess it does look more Cyclops-ish though... It actually looks kinda cool, though that screen should be bigger -- 2.5" on something that size would be about right, if it didn't cover almost the whole front face... I more »

MusicMug DAP Speakers are Cheaper, More Efficient than Starbucks

You may enjoy your quadruple decaf no foam latte deluxe, but can it play some freaking sweet tunes from your iPod or other digital audio player? Hell no! This mug can. The music mug is a bone china coffee mug with a speaker built into the base. It's just so much cooler than any other iPod dock, even though the playback is probably pretty weak. It is available in white or black for $35 or so, which is pretty good for a powerless DAP dock. – Travis Hudson More »
