Sony Japan have announced a new range of B-series Walkman PMPs, in the shape of the NWZ-B142F(JE). Not a snappy title, but the PMP claims to make finding the track you want more straightforward courtesy of its ZAPPIN feature, that runs through your music playing a five-second snippet from the middle of the song.

Active Media WWF Penguin flash drives

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Jun 10th 2009 No Comments

Every sale of Active Media’s new WWF Penguin USB flash drive may prompt the company to send off a 5-percent donation to the WWF, but we’re hoping it won’t encourage owners to grab poor, innocent penguins, snatch off their upper-bodies and attempt to ram the remainder into the nearest USB port. Real penguins don’t come in 2GB, 4GB, 8GB or 16GB capacities, after all.

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Jun 9th 2009 No Comments

Can we have too many glossy, glowing boxes? LaCie don’t seem to think so, hence their latest toppled-obelisk design, this time housing a hard-drive media player. The LaCie LaCinema Classic Bridge can be used with any existing 3.5-inch hard-drive, outputting upscaled 1080p video via HDMI, but it also has a USB port for external, removable drives.

We can’t all be Jean Michel Jarre, but thanks to the Arduino microprocessor we can flail our arms around and make music. Omer Yosher’s “Airpiano” is a long strip of motion sensors treated as, via the Arduino, midi keys and faders; moving your hands over and through the sensors control notes or samples, as well as volume.

Sony PSP Go! demands new accessories by ditching mini USB

By Chris Davies on Monday, Jun 8th 2009 1 Comment

Sony’s PSP Go! might be a masterpiece of miniaturization, but it’ll bring with it a shrinking feeling in your wallet, too. Set to land in the US on October 1st, the all-digital companion to the existing PSP-3000 will not only cost nigh-on twice as much as its bigger sibling, but require all new accessories thanks to a sneaky change of port type.
