Sumvision goes down the touchscreen route with the Ice media player
Sumvision is back to what it does best, throwing in everything except the kitchen sink into a small device for not much money – but with the Sumvision Ice, it’s also managed to squeeze in a touchscreen.
Toshiba's G450 4-in-one mobile phone / USB flash drive / MP3 player / HSDPA modem
With a bizarre keypad arrangement and small round screen, Toshiba’s G450 may be a mobile phone, but perhaps is better suited as a USB storage device, MP3 player and modem for your laptop. If you can manage to squeeze anything onto the 160MB storage, that is.
There’s no word on expandable…
Ear damaged man seeks similar Microsoft Zune afflicted people, no GSOH required
This is rather shocking, I never thought I’d be writing these words, but unfortunately the time has come for me to spell out on the keyboard that uh-oh-someone-is-suing-Microsoft-for-receiving-Zune-related-ear-damage.
I can barely look at those words 🙁
Joel Geddis was a Zune fan, and bought one of the first generation models. However, in November 2006, he “received an electric…

Opinion: Free music file sharing was never going to hit the right notes with record firms
Jonathan Weinberg writes… You don’t get anything in life for free. So the saying goes.
And so, I’m not surprised that a website which promised us the world’s first legal file-sharing service has had to backtrack on the plans after the record companies said they were not yet supporting it.
Qtrax made a big song and dance about their launch over in Cannes with stars including James Blunt there. They secured quite a bit of coverage in all the national newspapers too in Britain.
But maybe it would have made sense to secure the record firms first, after all, as the gatekeepers of the industry, they are pretty important don’t you think? It’s like saying you’ve got a No1 song, without actually having the lyrics written or the musical score penned…
Bomi Kim Tactile MP3 player – braille-like control
My MP3 player rarely sees the light of day – it permanently lives in a pocket or bag, even when I’m looking for a track. A control system like the one on the Tactile MP3 player would certainly help.

Opinion: Is Apple a bigger danger to our lives than Microsoft?
Jonathan Weinberg writes… I thought I could rely on Apple so this morning I awoke to disappointment in Steve Jobs after his Macworld announcements yesterday. I was sure he’d launch a new iPhone with either 3G or bigger storage memory, thus annoying the FOUR MILLION people who have now, like cult followers, signed up to the iPhone religion.
But it was a clever move. Save that announcement for a couple of months time, and bring a second-generation device out around a year after the first and no-one can have any complaints… can they? After all, technology is always changing and those of us who spend fortunes on gadgets and gizmos, only to see them bettered just weeks later, are fools of our own making. I do it, as much as you…
