After looking the other day how Apple is developing new ideas and how good they look maybe they should have a think about some of their products already out.

Their new I-pod shuffle which is about the size of a AA battery has just been voted the worst mp3 player on the market by which.

Not the best form of advertising but it has only scored 51 out of a possible 100 and has been marked down by the fact it’s not easy to use and lacks alot of functions.

My main problem with the iPod Shuffle is that though it only costs £38, the quality of the headphones it comes with is very poor and you can only use Apple headphones. This means you can end up forking out an extra £80 to enjoy good quality sound. Said Kat Hannaford from T3 magazine.

Apple has just come up with its next generation I-pod which they have patented last year.

The device is a Bluetooth headset that has a small display on the side with the built in MP3 player.

It is said to also have on board simple but easy to use buttons that will include play pause and skip, they say this might be the natural replacement for the I-pod shuffle, as its still in the early stages of development and only has a drawing at the moment but let’s hope this come s out as its a great little device and would be better than having use the earphones in conventional I-pods

A new website has been launched from Tiscali called Music For Life which has now joined the race to be the biggest MP3 download store.

It’s made in conjunction with E-music and like the rest of the competition has deals with the biggest record labels and has launched with over 6.5 million songs.

They have offered different packs so that you can get songs for as little as 33 pence the packs are as follows

eMusic Basic 24 downloads for £9.99 per month (£0.42 per song)

eMusic Plus 35 downloads for £13.99 per month (£0.40 per song)

eMusic Premium 50 downloads for £17.99 per month (£0.36 per song)

eMusic Connoisseur 75 downloads for £24.99 per month (£0.33 per song)

they might be a bit late for this but let’s see how they get on as their packages seem better than alot of the competition.

Music is now able to follow you around the room by a fantastic new gadget by Mintpass called the mint tank.

It’s the first MP3 player of its kind where it is shaped as a cube but on the speakers at each side they have caterpillar tracked fitted and is able to move around the room, with is ultrasonic sensor it can move round obstacles and with a pyroelectric sensor which can track your body heat and allow it to follow you aound the room and also which people giving off different heat signatures it can follow different people.

This is a great gadget and a must for any music fan, if you have a couple of them they can also communicate between them and you can have a cinema surround effect in your room.
