Humanity may have not yet managed to stuff a house or a car in a portable pocket-sized capsule but the guys behind the R and D Department of Creative Zen did manage to hit a milestone. No, they did not discover the secret behind pandimensional storage, but they did manage to squeeze in tons of nifty and power-packed features into a tiny mp3 player.
The new Creative ZEN Style M300 mp3 player is everything that you would want in a descent portable media player and more, stuffed in a very small form factor and tagged at a remarkably reasonable price. The M300 can accommodate microSD cards up to 32GB on top of its 4GB, 8GB, or 16GB built-in internal memory. To the unimpressed, a 32GB card adds about 4,000 more music files to your collection – a feat previously reserved for high-end large capacity portable media players. Since the M300 supports multiple audio formats like MP3, WMA, Audible Format 4 and AAX, you can forget about file conversion and just go straight to listening.
The Zen Style M300 also lets you experience the freedom from wires and cables, it comes with Bluetooth technology that lets user connect to a wide range of supported Bluetooth-enabled headphones like the Creative WP-3300, and speakers like the ZiiSound D5 and Creative D80. Menus, videos, and music playback information are displayed on the M300’s 1.45-inch TFT (128×128, 262K colors) screen, navigating thru these menus and playback controls like play, pause, skip, and select track are made possible by the device’s responsive touch keys conveniently located around screen. Other features include a long lasting battery life, FM radio with pre-sets, and voice recorder.
Apple’s iPod and iPhone gone so many revisions and released generations upon generations of models that some people simply lost count – and they are not showing any sign of slowing down. Apple’s latest creation is the iPod nano with Multi-Touch. It is designed to be easy, spontaneous, and upbeat just your music. It’s tad smaller too so music can play an even bigger part of just about everything. Even better, the iPod nano has been completely redesigned with Multi-Touch. Yes, that same technology present in iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Now it’s about half the size (46 percent smaller and 42 percent lighter) and even easier to play with everything you want to hear is just a tap or swipe away.
To navigate the new iPod nano, just swipe left to see additional icon and swipe right, or touch and hold anywhere to view the customizable Home screen. To select items, simply tap the screen and swipe up or down to browse lists. Additional functions use two fingers to rotate the screen and double-tap to zoom photos. Just like other iPods, song controls are as easy as tap, swipe and swipe.
