iRiver H10

Juniper Foo | Dec 22, 2004

Look who's copying who now. iRiver's latest MP3 offering not only comes in a choice of colors, it's vertical touch-style controller is reminiscent of another harddisk-based MP3 player brand that's been equally accused of mimicking another rival's design template. What the H10 has going strongly for it is a 1.5-inch color screen, digital photo album capability, and compatibility with Microsoft's PlaysForSure, allowing H10 users to download digital content from Web portals running on the open platform.

Amphicom Aqua FM Snorkel

Juniper Foo | Dec 20, 2004

Remember the Finis SwiMP3? Amphicom's French-made Aqua FM Snorkel plays the same tune using your teeth as a bone conductor to transmit sound to your ears. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the design finesse of its MP3 counterpart in that you have to bite down on the mouthbit snorkel-style to have your underwater music, which may translate to some jaw fatigue. It's good for up to 10m, though whether the FM signals will get through at that depth remains to be tested.
