Expected ship date: September 15, 2006.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>My favourite feature:<br \/>\n<strong>Music Pacer<\/strong> &#8211; switches between playlists based on the tempo of your workout. It&#8217;s based on Sony&#8217;s G-Sensor technology, which automatically detects speed variation via the Music Pacer. The Music Pacer detects your speed, tempo and acceleration and automatically selects an appropriate playlist. This is such an awesome idea! I would use this feature all the time &#8211; even for determined walking to the store or just daydreaming through my neighbourhood.<\/p>\n<p>Highly notable features:<br \/>\n<strong>Shuffle Shake<\/strong> &#8211; activates shuffle mode by shaking the player 3 times with the LCD facing up.<br \/>\n<strong>Target settings<\/strong> &#8211; set your target distance, time and calories burned.<br \/>\n<strong>Pedometer<\/strong> &#8211; Yay! I wanted one anyway.<br \/>\n<strong>Stop Watch<\/strong> &#8211; time your own circuit.<br \/>\n<strong>FM Tuner<\/strong> &#8211; with programmable presets. Every mp3 player should have one anyway. This one is able to tune into TV programs playing in many gyms.<br \/>\n<strong>Water Resistant<\/strong> &#8211; against perspiration and water splashes.<br \/>\n<strong>2GB Capacity<\/strong> &#8211; for storing up to 1,350 songs. 1GB and 512MB will also be available.<br \/>\n<strong>lightning fast recharging<\/strong> &#8211; just 3 minutes to charge up the batteries for 3 hours of playback, or total of 18 hours of battery life on a full charge.<br \/>\n<strong>Sleek, durable aluminium casing<\/strong> &#8211; available in black, pink, or silver.<br \/>\n<strong>One-line organic electroluminescence (OEL) display<\/strong> &#8211; accommodates both left-handed and right-handed users.<\/p>\n<p>Now someone please explain to me how the iPod continues to be the number one choice mp3 player when the only thing innovative about it is the casing&#8230; and lets face it, even that is getting old. Its entirely reliant on iTunes which completely sucks, has a limited interface and forces you to use iTunes only to play the large music collection you&#8217;ve invested in and paid good money for through their store. I dont like how it snoops either to see if you have other copies on other machines \/ devices. So what!?! I own that track! A few months ago I uninstalled iTunes and it wiped out my entire music library including tracks I didnt purchase through iTunes that I&#8217;d collected since &#8217;98. Yesterday I tried to run iTunes and it cant even find its own folders or my iPod. Reinstalling doesn&#8217;t make any difference. And today it wont even let me uninstall at all. I can&#8217;t wait to purge it from my system and my life once and for all when completely reinstall my laptop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ooh I am just raving over this groundbreaking little gadget!!!
