Opinari.net
Opinari - Latin term for Opinion. Opinari.net is just what it seems: a cornucopia of rants, raves and poignant soliloquy. |

I've been analyzing current technologies, trying to decide what little gizmo I want to buy next. (Opinari and friends are gizmo addicts, it seems). I'm trying to decide what MP3 player I want to buy. I already own two devices (my Tungsten T, and my old Rio 500) that play MP3s portably. But, capacity is limited on both, and I prefer not to use my Tungsten for MP3 playback anyway.
So I had originally been lusting after the iPods. iPods are the "in" thing. But I'm souring on iPods (much like people are souring on the idea of John Forbes Kerry, President). Why? Because battery life is questionable, and I have an inherent hatred for Apple anyway.
So, I decided on a Dell Portable Jukebox. Besides the 15 GB capacity, it's cheaper than the iPod (and I get a corporate discount on top of that).
But now comes this gadget - the RipFlash.
But the RipFlash only holds 256 MB. Why would I want this one? In a sentence, it has a line in, meaning that I can transfer any audio to MP3. It also has FM built in, meaning that I can archive FM broadcasts, and listen to them later. (OK, two sentences... sue me).
So, which one should I choose? I guess I will wait a few months... just to see which one I am longing for the most.Labels: Archives_2004
