iPod Versus Zune MP3 Player – 3 Reasons to Get A Zune

admin — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 23:30:37 +0000

There is a lot of hype around the release of the Zune MP3 player. Microsoft claims that their portable media device is a real iPod killer. But the reality may not be that easy. There are 3 reasons that makes us believe that the Zune can succeed at its promise. Two of them are already in existence but the third one is more on our wish list. By the way the Zune is cheaper than the iPod and is considered a high quality brand.

Wi-fi connectivity
With the introduction of the zune in November, Microsoft brings the portable media players on new grounds. The Wi-fi feature will enable users to socialize within their music universe. The social web as took all the attention on the internet in the last year or so. With the Zune, a part of that trend becomes “portable”. Exchanging a song or a video may look boring but doing it with the Zune and at the speed of a Wi-fi network will be very attractive for young people. On a negative note, the drm feature (Digital Rights Management) could eventually generate frustration among Zune users.

Integrated Marketplace
The subscription base Zune Marketplace could be a real skyrocket feature. Being able to access an online database of new music without having to download it first to your computer will make the Zune a real and first “portable media device”. The other important aspect of the Zune Marketplace is the ability to download as many songs as you want for a flat fee. If we can access the Zune Marketplace thru a public wi-fi network it will be a real technology and music orgasm!

VoIp Phone
This feature has not been announced by Microsoft (yet!) but it would be like a cherry on a sundae to have it. Imagine if your Wi-fi portable device could connect thru internet to access a VoIp network. This feature should not be very difficult to develop because most of the required hardware is already there (besides the microphone). A VoIp phone would be a lot easier to release compared to a real mobile phone which requires a lot more integration work and approvals.Related Content:

Size Does Matter in mp3 Players Technology

admin — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 01:54:34 +0000

Bigger doesn’t necessarily mean better, and when it comes to technology it seems to be quite the opposite. Items are smaller and smaller, better and better. Their size doesn’t seem to affect their performance; on the contrary, their original characteristics are improved day by day.

This is the case with processors, circuit boards, and other components from which all electronic devices are made of. The smaller their components are, the smaller the devices can become. In the case of mp3 players this leaves room for a larger screen, better control options, or whatever the market is in need of, at the time of its design.

Companies pay a lot of attention to the wishes of their potential customers. Market research is the starting point in designing new products. The latest gadgets have to be better and better, within a large range of prices, so as to please all the customers. When buying an mp3 player, most of the people look for a small one, with large screen, wireless connectivity, and other features.

However, some just want a simple mp3 player they can just plug into their computer, drag music onto it, and listen to it all day long. This is why the sansa express player was created. It is small, portable, and doesn’t even require a USB cable. Market research has come up with a product that pleases a certain category of users, and this one has been a success.

In the future, companies might come up with mp3 players that go directly into your ears, and work on electricity produced by the human body, but until then, regular mp3 players will have to do. Spend some time and compare modern mp3 players with models that appeared 5 years ago. You’ll be amazed at the differences in size, capacity, and features!Related Content:
