New iPod Nano With Multi-Touch

mike — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 21:48:01 +0000

The Nano has always been a favorite among fitness fanatics, and with the new upgrades it’s an even better tool. Apple has incorporated multi-touch on the 1.5″ display, FM radio, 24 hours of audio playback, and a useful clip previously found only on the Shuffle. The rotating display is ideal for viewing what’s playing when you have it clipped on your shorts or armband. My first generation Nano kept digging into my love handles whenever I tried to flip it upside down to see the display. Retail $149-179 (available in a 8GB and 16GB model)

Neon Trees radio station performance of “Animals”

This has been on repeat in the office the past few days. Something about great radio station performances that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I guess it’s the purity of it, no filters or post editing. Do you like?

Sony NWZ-W252 Walkman

mike — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 17:46:18 +0000

The new Sony NWZ-W252 Walkman is exactly what you need for active training. Since everything is contained in the headphones, you don’t need to worry about a headphone cord getting caught on gym equipment. It’s not a pretty site when a headphone cord snags while pumping your arms hardcore on the elliptical machine. For those of you that love training outdoors rain or shine, the new Walkman is also water resistant. I just wish it came in the classic Sony Sports yellow. Retail $59.95

“Use the included USB cable to get up to 90 minute charge in just 3 minutes. With an impressive total battery life of up to 11 hours, the W252 is ready when you are.”
