HP's iPod Killer To Be... The iPod


HP's iPod Killer To Be... The iPod 01/08/2004 08:41 PM
While everyone else is scrambling around trying to design an iPod killer, the folks over at HP figured why bother? They've gone and licensed the technology directly from Apple and will start selling their own branded version of the iPod - complete with iTunes. This is a bit surprising, because you'd expect HP to just sign up for a Microsoft-supported product instead. Still, any bets on whether or not this device will be called the HPod?

Sony showed off the latest addition to its line of Walkman digital music players Wednesday, the NW-HD5. While it is the fifth hard drive player to be released by the company, it will be the first to see worldwide distribution. Unlike Sony's previous units, the NW-HD5 is designed to stand upright, similar to Apple's iPod.

$50 Microsoft iPod Killer? Feh!!


$50 Microsoft iPod Killer? Feh!! 05/28/2004 09:39 AM
Microsoft is apparently preparing to battle the iPod. Not satisfied with decimating the Macintosh with undercut pricing (and, admittedly, a more sound distribution model) Microsoft wants the iPod to have a more Apple-like 5 percent market-share. But will it work? Yes, and no.

Yes, because there is a significant percentage of people out there who simply don't appreciate the stunning combination of design, technology, and usability that is Apple. These people appreciate a cheap price, languish in the familiarity of all things Microsoft, and don't appreciate good design.

Another iPod killer rumor 05/28/2004 10:46 AM

What has it been now a couple of years since the original iPod was released and people are still running around saying that there is going to be this device or that device that will knock the iPod off it's pedestal. Some company can only hope they get that lucky. Slashdot has the latest rumor and until a product is seen and tested all this talk is just vaporware. [Slashdot ]

A few weeks ago, news.com reported on Microsoft's iPod killer: a portable device that can handle both audio and video. The device is roughly twice as heavy, three times as thick and twice as long as an iPod though. "Killer"? I don't think so. Not only will it be too bulky to easily carry around with you, I also don't... (466 words)

The 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.

Killer Mobiles for Killer Apps


Killer Mobiles for Killer Apps 02/01/2005 08:35 PM

Continuing my series on mobile platforms, I now think killer mobile apps need mobile devices designed like game consoles, meaning that it has one or two slots for application cartridges.  Each cartridge contains one or more applications.  Cellphones would come with a built-in cartridge containing the phone app as well as others.

Adding a cartridge adds new apps.  Applications have two modes: running and stopped.  The Next-App button (aka Appy button) activates (brings to front) each running apps in turn.  Some apps can activate itself when an event fires (phone call received).  To see the list of available apps, keep the Next-App button pressed for a second.

Eventually, app cartridges will be advance to become platform cartridges, taking over the full functionality of the mobile device to offer better application platform services than the one that came with the device (i.e. easy to use app download service that auto-configures apps for your device).  If you don't like the built-in calender, just stop it and run a third-party calendar instead.

Griffin Technology Inc. on Thursday announced the release of their AirClick Remote for iPod and iPod mini, a remote control designed, as you might have guessed, to work with Apple's iPod and iPod mini. The AirClick Remote is different from most iPod remote controls because it works using Radio Frequency (RF) technology instead of infrared, so it doesn't require a line of sight to the iPod and can operate up to 60 feet away, according to Griffin. It's shipping now for US$39.99.
