| “People
use their portable music players in a variety of situations, and they
need stereo headphones that include features to enhance their music in
different environments,” said Ray Weikel, director of product marketing
for Logitech´s Audio Business Unit. “Logitech has created a line of
products that give people the power of choice when it comes to
headphones for mobile music players. Like the Wireless Headphones for
iPod introduced last month, the Wireless Headphones for MP3 remove the
hassle of tangled cords and unleash people from their music players.
The Curve and Identity products provide features for active users and
those who want to make a fashion statement with their headphones. All
of these headphones provide superior audio quality, comfort and fit.”
Logitech Wireless Headphones for MP3
The
Logitech Wireless Headphones for MP3 give new meaning to “mobile
music.” With 30 feet of wireless range, people can leave their music
player on the kitchen counter while they roam around the home, or put
it away in a backpack if they´re on the go, without missing a beat.
And, the integrated controls on the side of the headphones allow people
to adjust volume of the songs — without touching the music player. The
headphones feature advanced Bluetooth® 1.2 wireless technology, which
includes adaptive frequency hopping, for interference-free,
crystal-clear digital audio.
The Logitech Wireless Headphones
for MP3 work with any MP3 or CD player, and connect instantly by
plugging the adapter into the standard 3.5 mm headphone jack on the
music player. They feature 40 mm full-range neodymium drivers that
deliver rich audio and enhanced bass performance. The headphones use
rechargeable batteries, which can play up to eight hours of music per
charge. The Logitech Wireless Headphones for MP3 have a comfortable,
behind-the-head design and are made of lightweight, durable material.
The Logitech Wireless Headphones for MP3 will be available in July in
the U.S. and Europe for a suggested retail price in the U.S. of $129.99.
Logitech Identity Headphones for MP3
The
Logitech Identity Headphones for MP3 work with any MP3 player or iPod
and feature powerful audio in a small and lightweight form factor.
These headphones take customization to a new level — they include four
changeable color plates, allowing people to mix colors and styles
according to their music and mood. The Logitech Identity Headphones for
MP3 use twin neodymium drivers that give a full range of sound. They
also include a behind-the-head fit, which is extremely comfortable
during extended use. The Logitech Identity Headphones will be available
in the U.S. and Europe in September, and will have a suggested retail
price in the U.S. of $39.99.
Logitech Curve Headphones for MP3
The
Logitech Curve Headphones for MP3 work with any MP3 player or iPod and
are designed for the active mobile music enthusiast. Whether it´s at
the gym, mountain biking or rock climbing, these headphones will stand
up to the terrain. The Curve Headphones are crafted from translucent
polycarbonate material, making them water resistant, lightweight and
extremely durable. And, the added comfort rings on each earpiece ensure
a stable and secure fit during jarring activities. The Logitech Curve
Headphones for MP3 will be available in August in U.S. and European
retail stores and online. They have a U.S. suggested retail price of
$29.99.

Music
to your cell phone
CNET News.com -
USA
The cell phone has acquired a host of new features in recent years, from
text messaging to video. Now cell phone makers and wireless operators are
shifting their attention to music, taking a swipe at the iPod and other
stand-alone music players.
With high-speed cellular networks soon to be widely available, wireless
operators are exploring new ways to deliver not only over-the-air music
downloads, but also music videos, streaming and other new products tied to
music.
While it remains to be seen whether consumers will take to buying music on cell
phones, a variety of cell phone models with built-in MP3 players have reached
the market or are about to be released. These phones still revolve around the PC
for most of their music content, and compared with music players like the iPod
from Apple Computer, most have smaller capacities for storing music files and
fewer music features. But they also provide a new set of options for putting
collections of music on devices that many people have to carry anyway.Write Comment (0 Comments) |

Dell
Takes Aim at iPod with Napster Deal
Top
Tech News - Woodland Hills,CA,USA
Apple's iPod now enjoys a close to 90 percent market share and Dell's DJ
players, like MP3 players from other manufacturers, have been battling to chip
away at the commanding market position of the iPod for years. Mostly with no
luck.
Dell Latest News about Dell made a major move yesterday to cut into iPod's
commanding market share. The computer giant inked a deal with Napster Latest
News about Napster that will put the digital music service's entire library on
Dell servers located on university campuses to make it easier for students to
legally download songs.
Currently, university networks become clogged and slow as students attempt to
download music. Storing the music locally on a Dell PowerEdge 1855 server would
alleviate the problem.
The deal also could be a boon to Napster, which already has its service at 13
universities but could see the number soar.
Both companies announced that the University of Washington was the first school
to sign up for the plan, which is offered at a discount to ordinary Napster
downloads.
Michael Dell's giant computer maker also will sell Napster-to-Go discounted from
its usual $14.95 a month unlimited download price.Write Comment (0 Comments) |

More Than IM and
MP3
Inside Higher Ed -
Washington,DC,USA
Many students these days prefer instant messaging to phone calls, and
music downloads (legal or otherwise) to music purchases. But students’ agility
with those technologies doesn’t necessarily mean they can tell a quality online
source from an advertisement. Or that they know how to use e-mail to communicate
effectively.
Measuring those skills — and helping colleges plan curricular and library
offerings accordingly — is the goal of a new standardized test that the
Educational Testing Service is now opening up to widespread use, with the first
such administration scheduled for January. The exam — which is designed for
placement and evaluation, not admissions — has been in a testing period with a
small group of colleges.
The Information and Communication Technology Assessment, as the test is known,
can be scored individually and colleges can receive aggregate scores. The test
was first announced last year, but a number of changes have been made based on
early administrations of the exam.
Terry Egan, project manager for the test for ETS, said that the exam grew out of
a sense among educators that there is more than a “digital divide,” but a
“proficiency divide” in which students “have access to technology, but don’t
know how to use it.”Write Comment (0 Comments) |
