Today’s DAP Headlines:
Today we’ll show you some nice shots of Sony’s hot new NW-A1000/3000 DAPs, a patent that could hold the key to the latest iPod feature, and a triple-capacity Rio Karma. Plus, an Mp3 player has received a perfect review, and surprisingly, it’s not an iPod.
The latest and greatest Sony players are here (by “here” of course I mean Japan). Anyway, ATRACLife took some excellent photos comparing the new DAPs to the legacy Sony models. An important thing to note; next-generation devices are usually smaller than their predecessor, but here, the A3000 is actually larger than the previous NW-HD5 player.
Another iPod rumor has passed by our ears, but this time it’s not related to video. A little patent research has shown us that Apple employees have applied for a patent relating to a method for approximating an on-screen graphic equalizer. Is this the next big iPod feature? We may find out tomorrow.
So, how does an Mp3 player no one’s heard of get a perfect rating in a review? That’s a great question, especially since in our review we felt the Nex3 from Frontier Labs (who?) was very average. Maybe the reviewers mistook it for an iPod. That’s understandable; the Nex3 is small, it’s yellow, it’s…eh, nevermind.
Thanks folks, see you next time.
