02/11/2004 12:07 PMWalt Mossbertg, the technology columnist at a little paper called the
Wall Street Journal
reviews
the new iPo mini, and over all he likes it. Of course, he would like
it a lot more if it were $50 cheaper, a common complaint and one I am
sure Apple will address as for price of those cute Mini harddrives
goes down.
Of particular note is this little tidbit:
In fact, the latest version of iTunes even senses if you have a Mini,
and if your song collection exceeds its capacity, the software can
optionally auto-choose a selection of songs that will fit. It builds
this selection, in part, based on which songs you've played most often
or most recently, and which you've rated highest in iTunes.
This is the first I have heard of this feature, and I must say it is
pretty cool.

07/28/2004 01:08 PMThe
Wall Street Journal's technology columnist, Walter
Mossberg, t
akes a look at Sony's new 20GB Network Walkman NW-HD1, the first
Walkman portable music device to feature a hard drive (subscription
required to read the article). Already dubbed an "iPod killer" by some
industry wags, the Walkman fails to impress Mossberg on several
points, including "confusing" user interface, "tedious" song-loading
process that took more than two hours to transfer 416 songs, and less
robust companion music download service that also sports more
restrictive rules than the iTunes Music store. "The iPod wins this
round, and remains champion," said Mossberg.

Mossberg: Clones give iPod 'a run for

10/29/2003 10:20 AM
After two years of market dominance, Apple's iPod is finally getting
"a run for its money," according to Wall Street Journal columnist Wall
Mossberg. Mossberg's latest Personal Tech column, entitled Attack of
the iPod Clones, discusses the burgeoning threat of Apple's MP3
player market competitors. Though mainly of interest to Windows users
-- as two of the devices Mossberg mentions are, for now, for Windows
only -- it's worth comparing how Apple's own offering shores up
against some big names in the high-capacity MP3 player space.

Item! MacMinute has picked up a scan of a
upcoming magazine ad detailing the "seamless integration of iPod and
automobile," specifically, it seems, the BMW 3 Series, X3, and Z4.
Although there's no picture of the dock, the new adapter will allow
control of the iPod via controls on the steering wheel. If they
integrate an iPod-like touch wheel around the BMW logo I will
flip. Not that I can afford a Bimmer, mind you, but just
because that would be hot. Developing!
The ads lead to the site "iPodYourBMW.com," which for now remains
offline.

Mossberg on Wireless Audio
Mossberg on Wireless Audio
01/16/2004 11:01 AMThe Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg reviews the Creative
Technology Sound Blaster Wireless music system: Mossberg is very up on
the device, which avoids some of the weaknesses of similar
Wi-Fi-to-audio adapters by having its display built right into the
remote control. (Mossberg complains about having to enter a
hexadecimal encryption key into the Sound Blaster software to attach
it to his protected network. He speaks for all home users when he
writes, No normal consumer knows what "Hex" is, and companies should
stop expecting them to use it. On the other hand, when he says that
the key is rendered in an arcane and obscure kind of techie code
called "Hexadecimal" he's just being crotchety. Hexadecimal is just
base 16: 0 to 9 and the letters A to F. Fortunately, WPA will replace
the hex-interfaced WEP system eventually.) I saw a similar device,
Slim Devices's Squeezebox, at Macworld Expo last week. The Squeezebox
has wired and wireless interfaces, a nice remote control, and a
two-line bright LED display. It plays MP3, Ogg Vorbis, and WMA (among
other formats) with the jukebox running on a Linux, Windows, or Mac
system....

Walt Mossberg: Gadget kingmaker
Walt Mossberg: Gadget kingmaker
05/04/2004 05:14 AMGreat Wired Mag profile of the Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg,
the granddaddy of gadget reviewers, who can snap your company's neck
like a twig with one twitch of his mighty keyboard.
...when it debuted on October 17, 1991, "Personal Technology" was an
immediate hit. Mossberg's voice, amplified by the power of the
Journal, resonated like no other. In 1992, he recommended America
Online, an also-ran with only 200,000 subscribers, over Prodigy, the
leader with 1.8 million subscribers and powerful backers, including
Sears and IBM. "Prodigy tried to get me fired," he recalls. Mossberg's
endorsement "really helped put AOL on the map," admits founder Steve
Case. "It turbocharged our growth."
Mossberg's proudest moment came in 2001, when he objected to Smart
Tags, a feature he tested in a beta version of Windows XP. Smart Tags
could turn any word on a Web page into a link to a Microsoft property
or sponsor's site without consent from the site's author.

Mossberg Kvells Over Verizon Wireless's
1xEvDO
Mossberg Kvells Over Verizon Wireless's
1xEvDO
04/09/2004 03:57 PMThe Wall Street Journal's personal tech guru Walt Mossberg loves
Verizon Wireless BroadbandAccess 1xEv-DO service: He had no problem
configuring and using it, and thinks the price is high--$50 a month
instead of $80 a month seems like a better rate. He's concerned about
the tragedy of the commons--or common carrier in this case--but offers
tentative acceptance of Verizon Wireless's claim that they can
maintain a minimum data rate in the face of broad adoption. Mossberg
tested AT&T Wireless's EDGE and achieved 82 Kbps, a speed above what
seems to be typical of most of the users we've heard from or read
about. But he hit 500 to 700 Kbps in his D.C. area with Ev-Do.
Mossberg mentions the only real downside: 40 to 60 Kbps upload speeds,
which we started discussing in this space a few days ago. The
asymmetric upstream/downstream speed may be a function of the
technology, but with the extent that cell companies are trying to turn
consumers into producers with Web cameraphones, streaming video
uploads, and other bandwidth-sucking tools, 40 to 60 Kbps won't cut it
for long....
