Rad Blaster – The OLED Packing Pocket Boombox

by Jay Garrett on December 15, 2009

RadblasterLooking for a present that’s urban, street and retro cool?

Check out The Rad Blaster :)

So – it does exactly like most other MP3 players do. It plays those choice cuts, record sounds and store files.

The difference with the Rad Blaster is it does all that and it’s shaped like a ghetto blaster or boombox if you will.

The Rad Blaster is also packing a 1.1 inch OLED screen and 2GB of built-in memory.

OK, so it’s larger than a shuffle but I think it looks a hell of a lot cooler.

Check out the video for some breakdancin to the RB’s beats – or head to the Rad Blaster site and pick one up for $60!

Colour e-Book Reader Seeks OEM – Qualcomm Mirasol Display

by Jay Garrett on November 18, 2009

qualcomm-mirasolQualcomm’s Mirasol displays have appeared in mobile phones, Digital Audio Players (DAP) and GPS devices but now it seems that its going to join in on the latest craze.

E-book readers

The full colour, 5.7 inch display touting prototype just needs a friendly, loving and understanding OEM partner to take it home and nurture it – and soon.

That is if it’s to meet Qualcomm’s ambitious target of getting it on the market in the “latter part of 2010.”

Going on looks alone I really can’t see it having any problems with getting lots of love from gadgety readers and then you see the specs….

To start with, that XGA (220ppi) Mirasol display is not only full-colour, but allows for video playback, is supposedly readable in direct sunlight, and reportedly has a “minimal impact” on battery life.

For the full low-down have a look at SlashGear’s piece over here – just a click away :)

You’re probably aware that there was a little shin-dig where some new iPods were unleashed yesterday evening.
Out of the new line-up the one, for me, that deserves most attention is the Nano 5G.
Form wise it doesn’t seem that different from the Nano 4G – the screen seems slightly larger and the rainbow colour choice of [...]

This DAP player that I spied on Akihabaranews  falls into the latter quality, although I’m prepared [...]
