Airports given the power to scan your media player for copyrighted material?
Good lord, imagine the queues this would cause.
Global world-controlling power-consortium G8 is, apparently, looking at plans to give airports the power to scan portable media players for copyrighted material when you fly, under its upcoming Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement…
Nextar wireless floating speakers – for lazy summer days in the pool
If you’re lucky enough to have your own pool (I hate you already), then this gadget is a must have for days when you just want to float and work on that tan.

Another small form player is after a piece of the shuffle’s action – the Green house KanaCL…

iRiver's miniature T7 Volcano now available in the UK
The size of a flash drive, the iRiver T7 Volcano still packs a good feature set – and is now available in the UK…
Store up to 8GB of songs and video with the new SanDisk Sansa Fuze MP3 players
Some might call this range from SanDisk ‘fun’. Personally, I think they’re a visual stick-shoved-in-the-eyeballs, but each to their own. The Sansa Fuze range is finally launching in the UK after being available over the pond since mid-March, but I think the company might have some competition on their hands with the Creative Zen Stones, and Samsung Pebbles. Not to mention those Apple iPod Nanos, either…
Available in three storage capacities – 2GB, 6GB and 8GB, they have 1.9″ colour screens, and can play music plus video. Why you’d want to on a screen that size is beyond me, however. An FM tuner with 40 preset stations, inbuilt voice recorder,…
Newman's COOL MAN MP3 player is the world's dorkiest yet
It’s a fairly ugly and nondescript MP3 player, so why are we showing it to you, you ask? Check out the back of the player – it has a safety pin clip, so you can pin it to your lapel amongst the numerous musical buttons you’re rocking, reaffirming your indie cred. Or is that dork cred?
I’m thinking the latter, particularly because Newman has named this player the COOL MAN, complete with capitalised letters. The rest of the…
Opinion: I really hope my laptop breaks soon…
Gary Cutlack writes…
Today might be the day my laptop finally breaks. I hope it does. The bloody thing cost me £850 about two and a half years ago but is now little more than an embarrassment and liability.
So if it breaks, I’ll be able to buy a new one for half that amount. One with three times the power and enough memory to open up several applications at the same time. And it’ll be smaller and lighter. Please break, laptop. I don’t love you any more…
The all-singing, all-dancing Sony Rolly gets new colours in Japan – before we even see one!
In addition to the original white Rolly, Sony has announced a black shade to match your black, black heart. Although heaven knows what an angst-ridden music fan like you is doing with a dancing MP3 player!
In addition to the black colour, or lack thereof, there’ll also be some new speaker covers, in tones of red, blue and silver, as shown above. They’ll apparently cost ¥1,500, or around £7, and for the actual Rolly itself, in…
The Roland Edirol R-09HR MP3 player – proof MP3 players DID exist in the 1970s
Silver buttons? Chunky grey plastic? Company name that sounds like a pesticide the government banned in the 1950s after finding it lead to babies being born with more than the usual number of heads?
Yes, all of those, packed into the super-ugly form-factor of the updated Roland Edirol high-end music player…
