The Electro Belt concept reminds me of Batman’s belt. Just like that belt which held Batman’s powers, this one promises to hold the power of music. Designed by the Kristian Paljasma, the Electro Belt contains an in-built MP3 player that resides comfortably in the buckle.

The songs are transferred via a USB connection that also charges the device. The buckles are capable of being customized with different face plates. These illuminate when you groove into the music.

The concept has a chance at succeeding commercially provided the designs are varied to suit both the sexes.

If you are a music freak and just can’t get enough of it, then this MP3 player is right up your alley. Cowon’s latest DAP, tagged ‘iAudio 7′ comes with a touted playback time of 60 hours (Wow!)

An upgrade over Cowon’s previous offering i.e. iAudio 6, iAudio 7 offers twice the storage capacity and treble the battery life. While the former device had 4GB of hard-drive memory, iAudio 7 flaunts a flash memory of 8GB. And even though there aren’t any design improvements (iAudio 7 is as thick as its predecessor), the features have been upgraded sufficiently to make us happy.

iAudio 7 is also well equipped on other fronts. A 1.3-inch OLED color display will keep you informed with all the relevant info. Nearly all the music formats are provided for including the less heard about Ogg and FLAC. Then there is a built-in FM tuner and voice recording function. But, the most important feature might well be its unique touch-scroll interface. The battery I was going gaga over just now recharges through door USB.

The device is exclusively announced for Korean markets as of now. This makes us very envious indeed. The price is set at $182 for the 4GB version and $246 for the 8 GB.

Oppo’s latest DAP is has got features that leave you with nothing much to write home about. But, UP-9’s forte is without doubt its looks. Designed like a pendant, it guarantees that heads will be turned when you’ll hang one around your neck (or wherever it is that you like to hang stuff on your body.)

An adorned exterior with a smallish display to showcase some info like song title, time remaining and battery life, make UP-9 an extremely handsome gadget. Except the looks, however, there’s little else on offer. 1 GB of storage space, AM/FM functions, built-in equalizer and a basic recorder are all that this MP3 player offers.

I guess you can’t ask for the entire world in $85 (approx.) South Korean consumers can get this baby in ₩79,000. 8 on 10 on pure looks but only 5 on features.

En-tech from Korea has came out with their new vibrating earphones, Vibe NVE-100 that promises to offer some unique vibrating experience to your ears to generate an ultimate music listening experience.

To generate excellent voice quality is good, but still one question strikes my mind that why consumers will go for these vibrations. In addition, why the device is so developed? I think the constant vibrations will also irritate users after some time.

No, it’s not over yet, the $110, too is ready to take the sheen out of this piece.

I was browsing the net, looking for an iPod and my eyes lit up when I came across this Shuffle that costs only $14. And the icing on the cake, so I thought, was its color. It was Black and I would have given anything to get this stylish gadget in Black. However, my joy was short-lived when I got to know that it was an Apple iPod knock-off - a cheap imitation of the Apple ‘wonder’ that is probably the most coveted gadget among youngsters today.

This knock-off claims to have been manufactured in California, but assembled in China. And pity! The company managed to get the spelling of assembled wrong as well. This ‘assombled’ piece, apparently, is made of cheap plastic and the quality is something that would dissuade you from paying even $10 for this imitation. Well, I never knew Apple doesn’t manufacture iPods in black.

Apple Inc.’s iTunes online store in a short span of time has left behind websites like amazon.com and Target Corp. Apple now rules the music world as the third-largest music retailer in the United States. iTunes with 9.8% market share lags behind Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Best Buy Co.

The survey was done by NPD but it didn’t include mobile music sales as a factor. Apple’s rise as a music retailer surely indicates that digital music is in more demand than compact discs. On a contrary digital music just formed less then a quarter of total sale in music units. On a whole, some 212 million albums were sold so far, some 16 % less than the sales previous year. But the digital tracks sale has increased by 49%. If every format of music is combined the sales have increased by 14% then last year.
