An anonymous reader writes "MP3 Newswire just posted its fifth article of its 'iPod Killers' for the holidays list. Most interesting are a bluetooth unit from Aiwa, Sony's Vaio U, and an Ogg/photo/FM broadcast record, flash unit from SAFA." See also I, II, III, and IV.

  1. Bluetooth by BrookHarty · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    My cellphone has bluetooth (Motorola UMTS A845), wish it could link up with an mp3 player and stream the music. I can put music on the phone but with 64 megs, I have to re-encode the files at a lower bitrate for more space. It really has good sound.

    Also, its got a 320x240 screen, good enough for mp4 move trailers and news, would be nice to stream movies too.

    Thought the idea of bluetooth was clustering, have a bunch of devices that can just hook up and use each other's resources. Sounds good anyways. Be nice to save photos over a bluetooth camera to the phone to mail or the video/mp3 player for storage.

    Thinking of that, I could just plug a 30 dollar bluetooth adapter into my laptop and go. Shame, so simple.
