iPod, iPod, iPod, yada yada. They’re shiny and all, but until they come with an FM radio, experience shows that if I had one, it would just end up gathering dust in its cradle.
The new iRiver H340, now… that’s a different question. 40GB of hard disk joy. FM radio, and the ability to record radio broadcasts. Built-in MP3 encoder, so you can record from other line-in sources, too. 16 Hours of battery life. 2″ Colour screen, and it also acts as a picture viewer. Nifty.
Okay, so it doesn’t integrate with iTunes, and it doesn’t support AAC, but my music collection is MP3 all the way, baby. And seeing as it plugs into my PC as an external hard drive, how hard can it be to knock together a little app to rip through my iTunes config files and recreate my playlists in Winamp playlist format?
Have I mentioned recently that my birthday and Christmas are just round the corner?
(It would have been fun to have been the first to come up with the “I me a River” title, but Ed Hawco beat me to it by a good year and a half.)
What’s with the peppers? 😉
The image is a section of a photo that Abi took while we were in France last month. We were in Aigne for lunch, and we passed a small vegetable garden on the way back to our car. The bright red peppers amidst the greenery of the other plants caught my eye, and Abi managed to catch a great shot of them.
Mmmmmm…peppers….
Definately, but how about that fangled DAB stuff too? Now that would be a gadget.
Quite surprised to see how many iPods are around in the offices of Glasgow – is it a demographic thing?
