iPod Shuffle 4G Review

The latest iPod Shuffle (4th generation) does not enjoy the title of the smallest music player from Apple. That title is still retained by the older model which they abandoned. Check out our full review of the iPod Shuffle 4G after the jump.

6th Gen iPod Nano goes full touch-screen

Apple also re-designed the iPod Nano 6G and added a touch screen on a squarish form factor (reminds me of the 3rd generation fatty nano) that lends a touch of inspiration from the Shuffle two generations ago.

5 things I liked about the new Honda City 2009

When I was invited to join the trip to Bohol by Honda Cars Philippines for a media test drive, I hesitated at first because I know very little about cars. They knew I’m mostly into tech and gadgets so my impressions of the new Honda City would come from that perspective.

The 5 Generations of iPods

Since an offshore friend brought me a 2nd generation iPod as a gift 3 years ago, I never failed to miss getting a piece of the succeeding ones (she actually found it inside an airplane cabin during her cleaning duty while working in Japan).

So, I got myself a new 5th generation iPod video (30GB, black, not it’s the 5.5gen) even though I just bought a Nano over 2 months ago at the Taiwan Airport Duty Free Shop.

iPod Video 5th Gen

I guess the 2GB Nano didn’t have enough space for me, especially when I’m on very long trips. What actually prompted me to buy one just tonight was the price — Php13,500 flat. Yup, prices are dropping that fast now that the 5.5 gen (and 2nd gen Nanos and Shuffles) has dominated the market.

The regular iPod prices are actually the same one I posted here and the one that I got was haggled a bit down with the guy at Gigahertz Computers in Mall of Asia (but that’s another story altogether).

iPod Shuffle 2G vs. iRiver S10

Just a day after Apple released several new generations of its popular media player, iPod, iRiver also launched what could be a huge competitor to the Shuffle, the S10.

Let’s look at the specs and the design:

Shuffle iRiver

Capacity
iPod Shuffle: 1GB
iRiver S10: 2GB

Dimensions/Weight
iPod Shuffle: 1.07 inches x 1.62 inches x 0.41 inch (including clip), 0.55 ounce
iRiver S10: 1.6 inches x 1.2 inches x 0.33 inch, 17.5 g

Battery Life
iPod Shuffle: 12 hours
iRiver S10: 8 hours

Supported Format
iPod Shuffle: MP3, MP3 VBR, AAC, Audible, WAV, and AIFF
iRiver S10: ASF, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, WMA

Price
iPod Shuffle: $79
iRiver S10: TBA

The other features that the iRiver S10 won hands down were the LCD screen, FM tuner and recording capability. (The Shuffle didn’t have any of these.)

Will Shuffle’s stylish design outweighs iRiver’s full-feature player? The price will decide but I’m already pretty impressed with the S10.

Encyclopodia – encyclopedia on your iPod

Get the whole Wikipedia into your iPod!

Wiki on iPod

Encyclopodia is a free software project that brings the Wikipedia, which is one of the largest encyclopedias on the world, on the Apple iPod MP3-Player. It has been successfully tested on a third-generation iPod and on an iPod mini, but it should also work on other iPod generations.

The Installation Wizard works just fine with my 4th gen iPod Photo. The encyclopedia library though was a huge download — 753MB.

Navigation is a little hard since you’re stuck with the click wheel to select each letter of the word you’re searching for. Then, there’s no backlight.

iPod prices dropped; iPod Photo, no more.

ipodsEarly today, Apple has announced that it has (again) reshuffled it’s entire line of iPods. The price of iPod Shuffle 1GB has been slashed by $20, iPod 60GB is down by $50 and the Special Edition 20GB U2 is now $329 ($20 less). I am sure that local prices will follow suit and official iPod stores around the metro will be holding another iPod sale (probably with BPI SIP).

Likewise, Apple has now dropped the word “Photo” altogether making the entire series with color screen and able to view photos. The iPod 30Gb is no more while the old 20GB has been upgraded to color at the same old price. The U2 version has now a color screen and able to view pictures. Related story from iPodLounge.

It’s kinda irritating now that Apple constantly upgrades the iPod generation so quickly. It keeps me wanna buy a new one (now craving for the 20 GB U2). My iPod Photo 40 GB is now 2 generations obsolete and I only bought it last March thru a BPI sale. I already changed iPods 3 times in the last 6 months!

Get your iPods from Amazon – Apple 20 GB iPod M9282LL/A
In the Philippines, old generation iPods have actually been on sale and cna be had between Php18,000 to Php20,000. I have also seen iPod nanos selling for about Php12,500 for the 2GB version and around Php15k for the 4GB version. The iPod video is also for sale at around Php19,5000. Check out your iPod dealers.
