samedi, mars 14, 2009 Aiyoh, enough miniaturisation!  Okay, we get it. It's small. It's very small. It's cute. You already have the lion's share of the market (selling Apples too, mind), so you better have a jolly good reason why you've taken a good thing and made it, well, for people with very, very small hands.What this is about: the new iPod Shuffle, which is so small, it's really rather stupid. If I throw this into my bag, it's going to get lost and never found in the dark abyss of stuff that I carry with me. It's got the usual no-LCD screen, but now it gets robots inside the iPod to SPEAK the song name, artiste and whatever information for you. Which means, of course, that you better have had tagged your songs correctly. What's very evil about this player - its controls are on the headphones. Which means you can't use your absolutely-fab Sennheiser or Bose or Phillips or whatever-brand headphones with this 4GB device. But then again, if you're using one of those, you're probably a big enough audiophile that you won't even be bothering with this 4GB upstart. It's ridiculous that we're so lazy we don't really want the controls either, we just want to wink to change songs. Enough! Work on something else for a change! Like how to get some more ozone into the ozone layer! Libellés : current affairs, technology [Aiyoh, enough miniaturisation!] |
