Today ’s DAP Headlines :
AOL join the ever - growing list ofonline digital euphony providers , Samsung’sYP - U1finally makes it to U.S. webshops , iOPS gives us somethingweirdto front forward too , and the iRock MP930ez iSucks , concord to thereview .
AOL , the troupe that ’s brought us easy - to - use but expensive and awing ISP divine service , is jumping into theonline music game , after purchasing Musicnow.com . They ’ll be bid a subscription music service , like ( read : incisively the same ) to Napster , Yahoo , and others . The deal is $ 10 a month for limitless subscription downloads , and $ 15 if you require to transfer them to a compatible DAP . So will this “ young ” service top the ace already in place ? Hard to say … I suspect people somehow confide AOL more than they do Napster .
Samsung ’s “ shambling - killer whale ” is in the end available to buy in the unspoiled ol’ U.S. of A. TheYP - U1differs from Samsung ’s other flash offering in that it goes for simple , rather than feature - packed . With that say , it still offers a multi - phone line LCD , WMA & Ogg support , and Voice transcription , all thing the Shuffle lacks . cost less than the Shuffle too .
iOPS has apply us someweird - stuffbefore , and their latestS10model is no different . It ’s difficult to explain what exactly it resemble , if anything , but it bid an SD slot , retractable USB plug , some wink sparkle , etc . The S10 is white too , which is manifestly very coolheaded . Check it out next time you swing by Korea .
Last , and well , definitely least , is a limited review of a screenless rebrand by iRock call theMP930ez . So , how “ ez ” is it to use ? Well , very , with no screen , an SD / MMC slot ( no built - in memory ) , and only dim-witted playback control . So what ’s the problem then ? Oh , nothing , nothing , this equipment is solid … if we still lived in 2000 .
The verdict ( by CNet ):
The commodity : bread and butter for SD / MMC expansion cards ; easy to use ; less than $ 50 .
The bad : Supports MP3 files only ; only 128 MB of establish - in memory ; no LCD ; subpar assault and battery lifetime ; obtuse USB 1.1 transferral velocity ; no shuffle or extended maneuver mode .
The bottom personal credit line : The cheap and wanton iRock 930 MP3ez might be a good starter MP3 player for a child , but if you ’re even slightly serious about digital sound , avoid this twist .
Verdict : 3.7/10
That ’s the news program for today , see ya next prison term !
