Wireless MP3 players
Quote:
We've come a long way since the 5GB iPod. Today, you can find MP3 players with tiny flash drives offering up to 8GB capacities, pocket-size video players, even digital audio players built into sunglasses. But one of the most advanced features you can find in today's MP3 players is wireless capability. Of course, this functionality is still in its early stages, so there's some disconnect in its application. For example, the players I've gathered here all use wireless in different ways, and none of them does it perfectly. Still, if you must be on the cutting edge, wireless is where it's at.
First on the list is the SanDisk Sansa Connect, which uses Wi-Fi and allows users to trade songs (no matter where they are) and stream Internet radio. Subscribers to Yahoo Music Unlimited can also download tracks without connecting to the computer. Next up is the Microsoft Zune, which also uses Wi-Fi to allow users to share music, but in this case, the two players must be within range of each other. Taking a different tack is the Insignia MP3 Player & Image Viewer. This pocketable flash player offers built-in Bluetooth for connecting wirelessly with A2DP headphones. Then there's the Archos 704 WiFi, which is more of a computer than an MP3 player. Its built-in Wi-Fi lets you browse the Web. Lastly, we have the portable satellite radios--the Pioneer Inno and the Sirius Stiletto--both of which require subscriptions for you to be able to access preprogrammed content from their respective service providers. You can then save the songs that are "broadcast" via satellite to the players' memory
