Luxpro strikes again... behold the Super
Shiner
03/30/2005 04:28 AMEarlier this
month, Taiwanese company,
Luxpro introduced the Super Shuffle... an iPod
Shuffle rip-off with claims of having a built-in FM transmitter, a
voice recorder as well as the iPod shuffle's own features and
capabilities. Well,
that product was quick shot down. Now, Luxpro
(obviously hungry for more legal action), has announced the
Super
Shiner...

The Super Shiner is basically the same product Apple had removed from
displays at CeBIT with only a few cosmetic differences and a new name.
Any bets on how long until this one feels the sting of Apple's
lawyers?

07/14/2004 06:35 PMInteresting
idea from Manuel Amador over on OSNews as to how music players
could better decide the next song to play:
You see, Shuffle is very good at helping you find
previously unheard songs, but it's rather bad at selecting the most
appropriate song for your current mood. Shuffle can do wonders with a
small list of songs, but small lists of songs means you do not get to
experience songs which aren't on the playlist. This means you have to
either create lists (strategy 1, anyone?), or to interrupt your
business every two or three minutes, maybe seven out of ten times.
I bet you have noticed this as well. Lots of music gives you wide
variety, but does not guarantee enjoyment.
The basic idea is that music players could learn that song A sounds
good after song B based on whether or not you 'Next Track'ed it before
it played for very long. That's something I always thought would be a
great feature, but Manuel has thought it out right down to the
pseudocode.
It's interesting how sometimes the design of the smallest feature
of an app can make the difference between 'fantastic app' and
'ho-hum'.

We reported on Luxpro's "Super Shuffle" around CeBIT, and
it's pretty obvious why Apple is spittin' mad. It has more
functionality than the iPod shuffle, yet looks exactly the same.
Apple has managed to get through to Luxpro, because Luxpro today
announced the product's name has changed to the "Super Tangent." The
same iPod shuffle-like frame exists, though the design of some buttons
has changed. And it's available in black and red, unlike the Shuffle's
"white only."

Luxpro Super Shuffle--a lawsuit waiting

03/14/2005 06:08 PMAs reported by
iPodLounge and
MacDailyNews, a Taiwanese company has introduced a
blatant rip-off of Apple's iPod shuffle -- the Luxpro Super shuffle.
The device has been seen on display at the CeBIT conference in Germany
where its name, look, and marketing brazenly mimics Apple's new
flash-based wonder.
Apple's lawyers are pretty busy with their other lawsuits but I'm sure
they won't hesitate to add another to their dockets.

DAPreview.com has some
actual photos of the Luxpro shuffle we mentioned the other day. Now,
we know many of you are out there thinking, "That looks exactly like
an iPod shuffle!" You're not the only one. However, one of the Luxpro
reps at CeBIT set a reporter straight saying, "It is not identical to
iPod shuffle, it is better." So that settles that. After being asked
by Apple's blog-eating laywers to remove the display unit on Friday,
Luxpro complied. Crafty logicsmiths that they are, however, Luxpro
returned the unit to their booth the very next day, noting proudly
that Apple's crack team hadn't asked them to remove the item from
display indefinitely. We love crazy loopholes. Further legal
action is sure to come from Apple and it doesn't seem likely you'll
ever be able to get your hands on one. If anything, the utter tenacity
of Luxpro is to be admired; we'll give them that.

03/31/2005 05:57 PMTaiwanese MP3 maker Luxpro made headlines at the CeBit trade show in
Germany earlier this month when they showed off an MP3 player called
the Super Shuffle that was, unmistakably, a clone of Apple's iPod
shuffle. The product briefly disappeared but it's back now, as the
Super Tangent. Luxpro appears to have made some changes to the Super
Tangent since it was shown at CeBit as the Super Shuffle, but it's
still unmistakably an iPod shuffle clone.

Knock, knock. Who's there? Super shuffle
Knock, knock. Who's there? Super shuffle
03/22/2005 03:32 PMThrough the years, Apple has had to deal with its share of copycats.
With innovation, there's a price to be paid, and inevitably, other
manufacturers are going to want a piece of the action, forcing the bar
and the stakes higher as each adds a bit to the original idea.
After all, patents can only go so far, and lawyers can only do so
much.
But the Super shuffle clearly takes the cake.
I mean, the company even borrowed the haphazard placement of Apple’s
earbuds on their homepage.
But let's assume for a moment that the Super shuffle is, indeed, a
real product in development, and it gets past Apple's legal hurdles
and somehow hits the shelves in a conspicuously iPod shuffle-looked
blister case.
I'm willing to be they wouldn’t sell more than a few hundred units.
The Super shuffle is hardly super, adding a voice recorder and an FM
tuner to the existing model. There's still no screen, which makes a
radio mostly useless, and it’s hard to visualize just how recordings
would be started, stopped, played or saved.
And I think that's probably the point of this whole silly venture. If
anyone has ever heard of a company named LuxPro before this silly
imitation, raise your hand.
Anyone? Anyone?
Much like Golden Palace casino buying a $30,000 grilled cheese or U2
filming an gratis iPod commercial, exposure is worth its weight in
gold. And publicity — even negative — is equally valuable.
At CeBIT, when the Super shuffle was publicly unveiled, I’m sure the
LuxPro booth was mobbed with visitors just waiting to get a glimpse of
the device.
After all, the company's other offerings aren't knock-offs and, based
on the field of digital music players that aren't the iPod, they
stacks up fairly well. But with Dell, Napster, Rio and all the others,
it's still difficult for a unknown company to compete in such a
crowded field. But by taking on Apple in such a blatant way, they may
just be on to something.
But you might want to stay away from any Super shuffles auctions on
eBay.

A Super way to say 'thanks'
A Super way to say 'thanks'
02/07/2005 01:11 AMWell, here we are again.
It's Super Bowl Sunday, the Patriots are once again favored to win the
big game and iTunes fans everywhere are scouring convenience stores
and supermarkets for a 1-in-3 chance to win a free song with their
Pepsi.
Yep, if it wasn't for the 200,000,000 songs sold in the last 12
months, we’d be right back at square 1.
Since the last promotion with Pepsi, the iTunes Music Store has taken
off, adding more than a dozen affiliates and surpassing a daily rate
of more than a million songs a day. There are weekly free tracks,
music videos, digital box sets and NFL broadcasts, all under the same
roof as nearly a million songs.
And, it seems Apple has learned from the mistakes of last year's
promotion, which only yielded 5 million redemptions, a disappointing
dip on the road to that first elusive 100 million songs. For one, the
promotion has added an extra 100,000,000 songs and has been extended
until May 23.
Plus, Apple has sweetened the deal by giving away 1,704 iPods:
When you enter you Code for one free song credit at the iTunes Music
Store on or before 4/30/05, you will automatically receive one entry
into the Sweepstakes. Sweepstakes prize is an Apple iPod mini
(silver-colored case with the Pepsi logo)... Sweepstakes drawings to
take place daily 2/1/05 through 4/11/05, with one final drawing on
5/2/05.
All this, and not a single mention during the Macworld San Francisco
keynote presentation.
Perhaps this time, low-key is best, at least until Pepsi can supply a
stream of orange caps, anyway.
Or maybe subtlety. Over at Yahoo!, Apple has taken out its second ad
this week to advertise the new Pepsi promotion (the first promoted the
iPod shuffle). And the Super Bowl spots are far less controversial
(and far more effective). Other than that, you’d be hard-pressed to
find a mention outside of Apple's site.
The difference is simple: This year's promotion is not about hitting
any goals or spreading the word. It’s simply a way to thank the
millions of faithful iTunes users who have helped make it the most
popular download site in the world.
So enjoy the search, enjoy the commercial and (for the lucky 1,704)
enjoy your iPod minis.
And try not to think of all those dollars that could’ve been used to
promote the Mac mini…

configuring the software was a long, fiddly process that was certain
to leave you with a clear understanding of what phrases like "kernel

clumsy, amateurish interface, and it let you exploit only a fraction
of your PocketPC's features.

Cryptographers have discovered a way to hack Bluetooth-enabled
devices even when security features are switched on. The discovery may
make it even easier for hackers to eavesdrop on conversations and
charge their own calls to someone else's cellphone.
"Our attack makes it possible to crack every communication between
two Bluetooth devices, and not only if it is the first communication
between those devices," says Shaked.
Check out the time required to pull this off:
They show that once an attacker has forced two devices to pair,
they can work out the link key in just 0.06 seconds on a Pentium
IV-enabled computer, and 0.3 seconds on a Pentium-III. "This is not
just a theoretical break, it's practical," says Schneier.
