MP3 Player Faceoff: Zune HD vs. iPod touch

By melissa | Published: May 4, 2010
Welcome once again to our long-running Faceoff Series , wherein we pit two web services, apps, or gadgets against each other in a knock-down, drag-out fight to win the hearts and minds of Mashable readers. We’ve had some heated matchups here lately, from the not-even-out-yet next-gen iPhone beating out the Droid Incredible to Apple iBooks besting the Amazon Kindle . This week it’s all about yet another mobile device head-to-head, and this time we turn our attention to music players. Here too, Apple has enjoyed a certain mindshare dominance with the iPod/iPhone and iTunes ecosystem. Still, Microsoft arguably has its own very strong contender in the MP3 player space with the Zune HD

Cowon’s all-metal J3 PMP gets official

By melissa | Published: March 29, 2010
We'd already gotten a early look at Cowon's new all-metal J3 PMP earlier this month courtesy of the red dot design awards , but the company has just now gotten fully official with it, and detailed its complete specs. As expected, this one packs a 3.3-inch AMOLED touchscreen, along with 4GB, 8GB or 16GB of storage, a microSD card slot for further expansion, a built-in DMB TV tuner and FM radio, Bluetooth support, a built-in speaker and, of course, that brushed metal case -- not to mention a few familiar UI elements. Unfortunately, there's still no indication of a price, nor is there any word of a release over here.

Coby introduces streamlined, puzzling MP570 MP3 player

By anthony | Published: March 29, 2010
Coby may not always produce the sleekest of devices, but the company has certainly come through on that count with its new MP570 MP3 player, which is bound to turn a few heads. Questionably functional design aside, however, this one is about as basic as can be, with it packing just 2GB of flash storage and no memory card slot, support for only MP3 and WMA formats, and a built-in rechargeable battery that promises just five hours of audio playback -- but, hey, it sure is shiny. No word on pricing or availability just yet, nor is there any indication of how you're actually supposed to use it.

Samsung TicToc PMP player lets you shake right past that Ke$ha song

By admin | Published: February 9, 2010
Back at CES Samsung apparently unveiled this little guy -- the TicToc PMP , which seems to be aiming firmly at the iPod shuffle demographic -- whatever demographic that is. This little bad boy's got just one physical button (for power and volume control) while other functions of the player -- playback, skipping past songs and the like -- are all controlled by shaking. The TicToc will come in 2GB and 4GB varieties, have a supposed battery life of up to 12 hours, and it'll also have a cute little docking station to go with it. There's no pricing information yet, but we hear it'll definitely be available later this year. There's one more shot after the break

Sony joins 1,000-hour recording club with IDC-UX300

By melissa | Published: November 23, 2009
You really don't know how many voice recorders there are out there until you actually look . Sony's UX line of dictation takers / mp3 players has just undergone a gentle revamp with a freshened up control scheme and a bump in integrated storage. The new base model, UX200, will come with 2GB of flash memory, while the 4GB UX300 and 300F (both capable of more than 1,000 hours of recording) are differentiated only by the FM radio availalble in the latter. All models record in stereo mp3 format with added noise cancellation built in, while playback can be done at 21 different speed steps, allowing you to keep track of all the Scatman John wannabes out there

Strapya Theatre Presents: Dude Trying to Score with MP3 Card* [Music Players]

By admin | Published: November 18, 2009
*DISCLAIMER: That's Strapya's official promotional YouTube video title. I wanted to tell you all about Strapya's ultra-thin Music Card player, but I'm having an extremely hard time concentrating after watching this spot. Advertising genius or marketing suicide? You decide. I don't know if they are going to sell a lot of these 0.2-inch thin, 0.7-ounce 2GB MP3 players—which come with a built-in speaker and headphones—but after watching the video, my faith in Humanity has dropped from negative to imaginary numbers.

Cowon iAudio 9 and iAudio E2 media players make the scene stateside

By melissa | Published: November 4, 2009
Cowon-heads of the world, you are in for a treat today. It looks like not one but two of the company's snack-sized media players are finally hitting the big time. First off, the iAudio 9 PMP is due to hit the states within a week. Available in 8GB and 16GB denominations, for some reason the domestic version will be available only in black. Aside from supporting the usual compliment of media files (MP3, FLAC, Ogg, WAV, APE, WME, XviD, and WMV videos) this guy sports composite video out.
