Into Tech

The mainstream MP3 market is a cut-throat place for any company so all you can really do is mess around with the shape, boost storage or cut prices in order to stand out. Philips thinks going square will help its chances.

This is the new Go Gear range of 2GB and 4GB portable audio players, two with integrated FM tuners and two non-FM players. They all have a 128 x64 OLED display with a ‘mirror finish’ - like those 1980s shades - but when you touch it, all the track information appears.

Philips has beefed up its Streamium family of wireless audio products with the addition of a new flagship, the WACS7500, which comprises the WAC7500 main unit and WAS7500 satellite units.

I like things that make my life easier, as opposed to just gadgets/tech for the sake of gadgets/tech. Although, I’ve been known to buy useless rubbish too.

This is Kingston’s microSD Dual Adapter Pack and you are going to see a lot of these arrive this week, especially with the 3GSM show on. Sandisk announced one yesterday too.

If you have a newer, style-phone with a microSD card slot you will probably find this useful for swapping material from the phone to MP3 players, cameras, PCs etc.

The pack consists of a 1GB microSD card, a microSD to miniSD card adapter and a microSD to full size SD card adapter. And the best bit? It costs around £13. Martin Lynch
