Unlike a kitten though, the Spinn has a solid build quality that'd probably survive a fall. It certainly won't be for everyone, and whether or not the Spinn knob has the same warm reception as the Clix 's popular D-Click interface will probably transpire in the coming months, since this model didn't work.
More news on models that do actually work sometime soon. We hope. I had to keep it on the dl because basically those Australians kick you out if they find out. But, man, where are you going to find iriver products in North America or Australia? Finally, I caved. I decided to buy a cheap mp3 player, until I was again in Canada and could buy a new and larger though similarly sized Clix.
You know, just to get them off my back. It worked way better than I expected it to. I never did get that 8gb Clix. Similarly, but unrelated, I never did figure out where to find it in North America. Oh, well. That dream was dead, it was time to move on to new things. Which is where I encountered some problems. I installed both iriver plus 3 and the firmware updater , and tried using both to update the spinn. A review of technology, current and future.
I'm not sure what the push was, unless the manufacturers were simply trying to keep to a once-a-month update schedule, but several of the newer media players have received firmware updates this month. The Samsung P2 is more than a year old, but today I found two new games that work on it. Thanks to theP2Zone. They are Sudoku Champ:. Released for the New Samsung P3, it is wonderful that Samsung has kept gameplay the same between the new P3 and the older P2.
I'm a fan of Sudoku, and this version is very well done with a good touchscreen interface. Bubble Bang will get tiring after a couple of rounds, much in the same way that popping the bubbles of bubble-wrap does.
The Cowon S9 gets new 2. This is only a minor update over the previous 2. You'll get:. Beyond new firmware the S9 now has a multitude of user-created interface alternatives, and custom versions of most apps that eliminate most of my original complaints about the player.
Iriver goes one step further with the 2. It adds a Memo app that lets you draw or write directly on the screen. The photo app has been improved. I can now rotate images easily, but apparently my photos are still not supported by the Zoom function. The Korean version had the capability to scheduled recording off FM radio, but once I changed to the US version that feature disappeared. Even the iPod Touch gets an update this month.
Minor, but appreciated! So if you own any of these players, go get the updates. Their ability to be updated after purchase means your investment gets better as you continue to own it. A Bluetooth Stereo Adapter for your iPod.
I'm a big fan of Bluetooth technology. When I see a good value on something I can use I find it hard to resist. There is not much to say about this little Bluetooth adapter except that it works well, is inexpensive, and will eliminate the wires from your iPod. Apple doesn't seem to know the value of Bluetooth, but fortunately a small investment will overcome that shortfall. It works just fine with my iPod Touch and Nano, but isn't the most stylish compliment to either.
The A has it's own lithium battery and will charge from your iPod cable. You can charge it alone or charge both the iPod and A at the same time. Pairing is easy. The first time it is plugged into an iPod it will go immediately into pairing mode with it's led flashing blue and red. I had a little more trouble pairing it a second time to a different device, but it just took more careful timing.
Once connected your Bluetooth headset will have control over the iPod. You can toggle between Play and Pause, and also go forward or backward one track at a time. Your headset will have volume control as well. Instructions are complete and easy to understand. It was well packaged.
