This Compact PMP Makes You Go Yahee!!!!

Random Chinese manufacturers seem best known for knocking off the designs of popular devices. There's no shortage of MP3 players that look a little too much like the iPod, but this seems to be the first time that a knockoff PMP has taken on the appearance of a Nokia XpressMusic cell phone.

Looking a little too much like the Nokia 5300 XpressMusic, this device has been dubbed the Yahee YHM-MPE02 personal media player. That's Yahee, folks, not Yahoo! To access all of the key functions, you simply press the buttons flanking the 2-inch QVGA color display on either side, much like the Nokia cell phone.

If you must know, the Yahee YHM-MPE02 comes equipped with 4GB of internal memory, FM tuner, built-in speakers, microSD expansion, and support for everything from WAV, ASF and MP3 to JPEG, AVI, and TXT.

Google Phone Hardware Could Be a Dream Come True

We learned earlier today of the Google Open Handset Platform that will be altered and implemented by a variey of phone makers. The Google operating system will underpin a variety of devices created by guys like HTC and Motorola, but what about actual hardware? Well, there's still word floating about that Google is interested in making more than cell phone software and a "Dream" cell phone could still be on the way.

Codenamed "Dream", the internal mobile phone design from Google has yet to be leaked into the public, but there are several details that have emerged from recent reports. Based on this insider information, the real Google Phone "Dream" has an overall form factor that is not unlike the Apple iPhone. It's going to be 5-inches long, 3-inches wide, and feature some sort of touch-sensitive control. There's also mention of a hidden QWERTY keyboard as well as some sort of swiveling mechanism.

Naturally, the software inside is mostly Google too, complete with YouTube, email, text editing, and a virtual machine for web browsing in landscape mode. The physical design of this "real" Google Phone is reportedly still be developed by HTC and it could be ready around the same time as the other Google Phones: the second half of 2008.

Let's Play! Hercules Mobile DJ Mp3 Gadget Spins It Roughly, Makes Pete Tong Jealous!

Ladies, gentlemen, music addicts, meet my new friend, the mobile DJ mp3 gadget! It enables you to mix the integrated tracks selected from your own personal PC. This thing is 100 % wireless, which means you can both mix and do your daily routine, simultaneously.

Apparently, this fellow only requires a simple sync with your music PC content, demanding, of course, the supplied software.

And hey, it's cool to use the World's first wireless Mp3 DJ mixing mini-controller ever made. The best thing with this device, besides the possibility to put together the tracks from your PC, is the integrated dual mixing deck you can mix, fade and loop to get the perfect club mood in your own living room.

According to the Hercules mobile Dj Mp3 manufactures, it provides all the power of a vinyl DJ, meaning both cross faders and playback speed controls. And I have to tell you the Virtual DJ software sounds too good to be true. It even allows you to sync cool tracks and mix the tunes your way.

Another great thing with this device is the lack of any kind of wires, which could seriously get in the way of your perfect mix. Besides a striking milky white design, complimented with fine minimalist patterns, the item reveals a built-in LCD screen. It was ingeniously integrated in the system to offer you a precise track monitoring and a way to identify your own mix with minimal effort than ever before.

Giving the details in the device's specification list I have to admit the price tag seems to be a fair one, as you won't find a professional MP3 DJ mixing mini-controller at only 70 pounds!

After all, you don't have to be Pete Tong to spin it like crazy! So, what do you think about my new Hercules friend? Thought so!

MP3 gadget set for legalisation

Gadgets which transmit MP3 players' output so they can be heard on FM radios may become legal in the UK.

Communications regulator Ofcom is holding a public consultation over the issue until September.

Using iTrips and other "low-power FM transmitters" is banned in Europe as their low-power transmissions can, in theory, interfere with legal stations.

The devices and other similar MP3 player accessories are popular abroad and widely available online.

The Wireless Telegraphy Act of 1949 forbids the use of radio equipment without a licence or an exemption.

But the gadgets are now expected to become legal to use - without a licence - by 2007.

Liberal Democrat culture, media and sport spokesman Don Foster said: "I am delighted Ofcom have ended this ludicrous ban, based on 1940s legislation... which threatened two years imprisonment to music lovers using iTrips.

"This decision... will not only regulate a booming black market and provide the country with valuable tax revenue, but also enable the iPod generation to enjoy their music using the latest gadgets."

Gadget magazine T3 deputy editor Jason Jenkins also welcomed the proposed legalisation.

"They are nifty little things and an easy way to listen to your iPod tunes in your car," he said.
