Remember when those (horrible) white earphones were the in-thing? Well no more. Now, Sony is giving its Walkman line of Video MP3 players some wireless love with Bluetooth built-in as well as throwing in a pair of BT headphones to go with them.
Available in either an 8GB or a 16GB size, these Flash-memory based players can store thousands of MP3 tunes or hours of video for playback on its 2.4″ LCD screen. Battery life on these guys is up to 36 hrs for audio and 9 for video.
In the audio department, you can also expect WMA and AAC audio support along with the usual MP3 support, not to mention some DRM support.

Ok, you sun-worshipping CA folks - today is the day you must stop holding those cell phones while driving. Get yourself a headset, wired or wireless, as the brand new statewide law goes into effect. Did I mention it’s today?
Now whether you’re a fan or not, fact is that if you’re going to be talking on a cell phone call, then you need a headset. While I agree with JT that the law needs to be tougher, it’s a start. PS> please don’t text or e-mail while you’re driving. That’s just plain dumb, and you could end up having a Darwin Award after your name if you Murphy’s Law holds up.
Read on for some quick tips on searching for that elusive new Bluetooth headset since I’m sure you’re going to want to avoid the wires…
So, yours truly just got his brand new Bluetooth headset (a Cardo Scala 700LX) in the mail after he lost his last one (a Gennum nXZen nx6000) in a recent home move. I can’t tell you how good/bad it (the 700LX) is yet (it’s charging up as I write), but the reviews seemed fairly positive.
An interesting thing about Bluetooth anything, really - the reviews are all over the map. I can just as easily get a thorough review that trashes a popular headset as one that raves about it. It’s a bit unfortunate, but you may just need to try different ones until you find one you like. Don’t spend hours like I did searching for the magical best one, because it doesn’t exist!
Meantime, here are a few useful links if you’re in the market.
* A handful of some of the most popular headsets. In-depth, opinionated 3rd-party reviews.
* Amazon’s list of Bluetooth headsets. Always lots of user reviews on these. The ‘crowd’ sometimes does know what it’s talking about.
* PC Magazine’s list of best headsets from last summer. You can possibly get some of these cheaply now.
* When you’re ready to pull the trigger, do some price comparison shopping.
Good luck, clear conversations and be safe on the road!
We featured the Eye-Fi SD card that bundles WiFi connectivity onboard. Stick this in your digital camera and then you can automatically upload your photos to your favorite photo sharing website.
Now Eye-Fi is rolling out a new version of its product dubbed the Eye-Fi Explore that goes one step further - it automatically geo-tag your photos by using nearby WiFi access points to triangulate your position. Eye-Fi partnered with Skyhook Wireless to provide the geo-data.
We saw a geo-tagging gadget called the GPS Photo Finder back at CES, but I’ve got to say this wins out, because you don’t have to take your SD card and stick it into a different device.
Gimme!
