Listen To This: Controls

So far, in this series, we have not really had much of a chance to get into specifics about the individual players. We’ve done a quick overview, looked in the boxes, even checked out the hardware and accessories. But none of what we have looked at so far has had much to do with the actual use of the players. All of that is going to change now. The next two articles will focus on the user interface. Today, we will be talking about the controls on each of the six players. In the next article, we’ll be looking at a related item, the menu systems in each player. The two really go together, and if it helps, we can think of this as part 1 and the next one as part 2.

Posted by: dgoldring on Oct 10 2008 - 175 views
I have spent a considerable amount of time here at JAMM, and also at Gear Diary, reviewing portable media players. One thing I have noticed is that a stand-alone review is really not the best format to help users answer the real question on everyone’s mind: which one should I buy? While a review is nice, it looks at a particular media player in a vacuum. The missing piece in the review is how this one compares to the others. And that is what I want to try to accomplish through this series.
So, in addition to the Sandisk Sansa View, which I already own, I went on eBay and gobbled up a Microsoft Zune, Samsung YP-P2, and Creative Zen X-Fi. Heck, I even got the Sony Walkman A828 back on an extended loan. After considerable thought, I also replaced my iPod Touch with the new fourth generation iPod Nano for this series.

HTC X7510- Now An Even Greater Advantage
Posted by: danc on Feb 11 2008 - 3,129 viewsThe iPhone and iPod Touch aren’t the only devices getting some flash memory love– an upgraded model of the HTC Advantage will soon be released in Europe with 16GB of flash memory in place of the original 8GB microdrive. Other additions include HTC’s TouchFLO and (rumor has it) the soon-to-be-released Windows Mobile 6.1.
Pretty ain’t it??
