Holiday Competition For iPod Dollars

Posted by timothy on from the ho-ho-ho dept.

An anonymous reader writes "MP3newswire.net is running a two part article on 15 new digital music portables or "iPod Killers" as the digerati have dubbed them. iPod Killers for Christmas Part I includes what I think is the coolest new player, the Olympus MR 500i with touch-screen technology and and sharp black-on-white color scheme. iPod Killers for Christmas Part II's most interesting portables are the new Epson MPEG-4/MP3 media jukebox and the SoniqCast Aireo 2 Wi Fi. Lots of photos and size specs. Also, Ogg Vorbis is picking up steam as more new players are adding it."

      Looks like a cache collision -- try saving the image and see what you get (/. or pr0n). That particular /. image is called "title.gif".

    I don't know why we have to refer to new technology in that way, as a 'killer'. Can't it just be "this will obsolete the iPod" or "designed to take the market from...".

    With all the war going on all over the world right now and all the actual innocent people actually being killed, glamorizing and romanticizing killing isn't going to help us make things better. Lets make a pact to change the way we talk and eliminate all this violence from our speech.
