RCA DRC618N Tablet-Style DVD Player

RCA DRC618N Tablet-Style DVD Player 07/21/2004 04:41 PM

I never thought I'd say this, but this portable DVD player from RCA is really hot. It's a tablet-style player, which may or may not float your boat (some people don't like having to hold a player in their hands), but since RCA is using a laptop DVD drive, the entire thing ends up being very svelte -- only 1-inch deep, even with a 3-hour rechargeable battery (can you mix hours and depth? You can today.) You pay for svelteness with real American dollars, though, to the tune of 300 to 400 bucks.

NHJ VHD-1500 1.5GB Music Player 07/30/2004 07:07 AM

When I4U mentioned this new 1.5GB hard disk music player from NHJ Japan, they wondered why NHJ isn't released a 4GB version to compete with the Apple iPod mini, musing that perhaps Apple bought all the 4GB drives available. Last I heard, that's pretty much the case, actually.

This VHD-1500 player, while still the same price as the iPod mini, does at least beat it in one area: it's just a little smaller and a little lighter (plus has the FM receiver that Apple continues to refuse to integrate into the iPod).

Music player market heats up

Music player market heats up 03/19/2005 03:27 AM
Digital music players have exploded into the mainstream market with Apple leading the pack, offering some of the most pricey players available. After introducing the iPod in 2001, Apple has become the digital music market leader, currently holding 80% of the market in the United States. Pew Internet & American Life Project in February found that about a quarter of people with household incomes of $75,000 or more owned digital music players but only 6 percent owned the devices among those earning less than $30,000. "iPods and MP3 players are becoming a mainstream technology for consumers" Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project said. "More growth in the market is inevitable as new devices become available, as new players enter the market, and as new social uses for iPods/MP3 players become popular." Apple introduced the iPod shuffle in January at the Macworld Conference & Expo in San Francisco. The introduction of the shuffle was a change from Apple's regular iPod price tag, with the device selling for less than $100. This price breakthrough for Apple allows those have been seeking a lower price point to purchase one of the sought-after iPods while still maintaining a bank account balance. A recent surge of iPod clones have been tossed into the market, confusing iPod desirers with their similar names and looks. A Taiwan-based maker of digital audio products, Luxpro, introduced its Super shuffle digital music player at the CeBIT conference in Germany last week. Luxpro's Super shuffle is nearly identical to Apple's iPod shuffle measuring in at nearly the same size but, unlike Apple's iPod shuffle, it offers a voice recorder and FM tuner. The company even had iPod silhouette-style advertising to promote the device around the show. Another Asian company, Orient Expert Technology Co., Ltd., introduced an iPod-copied device called IPOD Mini. Like Apple's iPod mini, the Orient Expert IPOD has a 4 GB hard drive but offers an optional FM tuner. With the market finding more competition, even if it is among direct clones of the iPod, prices in the market are dropping with the introduction of competitive devices offering additional features, at a lower price. With this in mind, Apple may have to consider offering additional features and lower prices to stay at the head of the game.

Apple Music Player for Phones

Apple Music Player for Phones 07/27/2004 11:13 AM
Reuters reports a deal between Apple and Motorola to bring iTunes-like capability to mobile phones. Steve Jobs is quoted as saying, "Wouldn't it be great if you could take a dozen of your favorite songs with you on your phone. We thought it would be great if together Motorola and Apple could give them (consumers) a small taste of what this digital music revolution is about." Many of us have already done this. I do it every time I travel with my Treo 600 phone, as I noted in this column a few days ago. Except I have an advantage: I'm using MP3 files, which aren't subjected to Apple's version of Digital Restrictions Management that prevent me from using what I've purchased the way I want to use it. Most phones will soon have enough onboard memory for this kind of thing. Users want access to their music, but they don't want DRM speed bumps. I hope Apple and Motorola don't build them in.

Did RealNetworks Violate The DMCA With
Their Music Player?

Did RealNetworks Violate The DMCA With
Their Music Player? 01/16/2004 01:03 PM
The folks over at DRM Watch believe that RealNetworks must have violated the DMCA to create their latest RealPlayer 10 software that can play songs downloaded off of other music download stores like iTunes or Napster 2.0. No matter what you think of the DMCA, though, I don't think that's true at all. The point of the copy protection technology used by iTunes and Napster (and others) is to prevent copying of the songs. If you're playing the song from the same location with a different application, then no copying has occurred. The only issue is building a player that recognizes the specific file formats - and Apple with their AAC files and Napster with their WMA files are pretty well known file formats. I don't think either application was designed so that songs downloaded to them could only be played within their software. So, am I missing something, or is this article off-base? If they are off-base, then it means it's the second time in a row - as the whole point of this article was to correct a mistake in the guy's last article, where he claimed that RealPlayer 10 couldn't play songs from iTunes or Napster.
