That’s double the fun when reading e-books!

iPod, iPod, and more iPods! This is the name that many people say when it comes to music players. Nothing that can be done about that since it is the most popular these days. But then, if you want to dare to be different, you can go for Philips’ GoGear Spark music player. It’s distinct from any music player, specially the iPod.

Instead of CD’s just use this microSD card that comes preloaded with audio data. For just $14.99 you can have 1GB of preloaded music in one tiny card.

But to recap them a little bit, flash drives are quite handy for storing videos, documents, music and other kinds of files with you wherever you want to go. But you know something else?

If you think Sony is only capable of handling handheld game consoles, then you’re outright wrong! Sony is getting ready to launch Bravia TV handheld version. Target date for the release is April of this year. So how would you take that?! Even if the previously released Sony Bravia LCD TV is excellent, there are still a lot of people who did not opt to buy because of its price, and it cannot just be carried anywhere. Creating a mini-version of the Bravia LCD is a genius idea, especially for people out there who want portable entertainment on the go.
