What a cute box! The pure bright color, the clear look, this is perfect for summer, totally cool. And what do you think this little box is? Ok, it’s a cute MP3 player, cut huh? I admit I do always love cute MP3 players, because you know, they’re cute, fashionable, and they bring nice music too, totally adorable! You can enjoy the little thing in anyway, it’s totally delightful to get such a cutie.

Well, this is the shakeable MP3 Player from Samsung named ‘TicToc’. Announced during Samsung’s CES press conference, the TicToc is believed to be a perfect alternative to Apple’s iPod Shuffle. Based on a built-in motion sensor, TicToc allows the users to change tunes by shaking the player slowly or quickly. The more slowly you shake the player, a much gentler music will be chosen, and vice versa.(But I’m really confused how this little machine’s going to know what music is gentle, or which one is intense.) There’s a big button on one end to control the volume and a headphone port on the other. Turn the button to face the ground when you want to decrease the volume and make sure the button faces up if you’d like to increase the volume. The Samsung TicToc could support MP3, WMA, OGG, and FLAC audio formats with 12 hours of battery life. It will soon be available in two versions (2GB and 4GB capacities) but still no words on price. Anyway, really a cute little thing I would love to have for the warmer season, looks pretty cool…

Whether love it or hate it, the one thing you can’t deny is that Apple’s ads are awesome and the buzz they make is huge, and now as their new creation comes out, the whole world is talking about the iPad!

Though the iPhone can be considered Apple’s next-generation MessagePad, after much speculation Apple’s long-rumored entrance into tablet computing has finally arrived. As Apple always does, its new Tablet has been built in a nutshell. At first glance, the device basically resembles a large iPhone, complete with a home button and glass touch screen. True to the style that has come to define Apple products, the device looks simple and well-built, with a rigid glass display and a inch or so of bezel area around the display. The display is a full capacitive multitouch panel, as was expected, but is also an LED-backlit IPS (In-Plane Switching) display that has a great viewing angle. The back is aluminum, and there are various connectors on the sides for power, sleep, and volume controls.

On the inside, Apple has given us a surprise. The device uses an Apple-designed chip it is calling the “A4,” which runs at 1GHz and is used for managing everything: processing, graphics, and I/O. The system has between 16 and 64GB of memory, contains Bluetooth and EDR wireless connectivity, has a speaker, and microphone, and also contains Apple’s accelerometers, ambient light sensors, and digital compass with assisted GPS technologies. There is a 30-pin connector for attaching the device to computers, but it also uses Bluetooth and Enhanced Data Rate technologies for fast wireless access up to 3Mbps. The device has a powerful battery that gives up to 10 hours of usage, and nearly a month of standby time.

Apple has not omitted the option for 3G connectivity. The system contains 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-fi options, but also can directly tap into UMTS/HSDPA and GSM/EDGE 3G wireless networks, and come unlocked and without any contract so if your wireless carrier uses a GSM micro SIM, it should “just work.” However despite this, the capability to make phone calls does not appear to be available, but then again it is not a phone. An internal camera is the one missing feature on the iPad, but there should be ways to add one as an accessory, though Apple has not mentioned. And the one really big disappointment is the device seems to be limited when it comes to multitasking.

As for the price, it has been able to provide all of this in the range of $499 to $699, and we should start seeing them hitting store shelves in about two months. Quite a reasonable price consider their earlier productions. The popularity of the iPhone has made it a raging success, and it, along with other “smart” devices, has shown Apple and other manufacturers that consumers are ready for a tablet. With the iPad Apple has come to define computing in the modern era, and like it or not, this really is the beginning of a new era, there will soon be no room for those cheap netbook, and the new fashion of palm computer begins here!
