Objects of Desire 5
Gadgets and gizmos which just beg to be owned. Another selection
of desirable objects reviewed by Phil
South.
MPWheeeee!
Now there's MP3 players and there's CD players. Wouldn't it be nice if the
two could somehow get together to allow you to play MP3 files on CD? Well
now you can with the D'Music SM-200C portable
CD and MP3 player. It has support for ID2 and ID3 MP3 tags, auto-detects
Audio CD or MP3 CD, has a 15 second anti-shock buffer memory, and runs on
2xAA alkaline or re-chargable batteries (supplied). Now you can enjoy 150
tracks of MP3 music at once on the go without having to burn an audio CD first.
It's the most fun you can have with your trousers on.

 Sexy
Sony
A Sony-built, 7"
16:9 Widescreen LCD TFT, portable DVD player? What's not to like? The
unit features audio CD, Video CD and DVD
playback, an almost VAIO-like super-thin case, and SRSŪ headphone
surround. It has its own remote control, and you can look forward
to more than three hours of operation with
the Lithium Ion
rechargeable batteries.

Eye Spy
Spypen
is a "digital FunCam" the same size as a small 50g bar of
chocolate. It fits into any pocket and can covertly take pictures and
short videos. You can also use it as a webcam online via video
conferencing software and share pictures via email. It's cool, and
it even looks like the old 1960s spy camera.

 Shin
Kicker
The
Shinco 960 is your basic Region Free portable DVD player with all the
MPEG2 decoding, 500 lines resolution you expect. But it does a few extra
things you don't expect too. Like the "Trick play" modes: 3-step slow motion, 4-step fast forward and reverse, frame by
frame play, track and disc repeat play, program play. But you can also
play your home made MP3 discs. It's PAL/NTSC compatible and it includes a battery and car adapter.
