SanDisk Sansa Clip
Here is the latest offering from SanDisk, known as Sansa Clip, this is a tiny player that is on the same league with Apple’s iPod Shuffle. What makes Sansa Clip unique is the 15 hours battery life, compatibility with mp3 and WMA, and an FM Tuner which all Apple’s iPod lack off and I doubt Steve Jobs would integrate a FM Tuner anytime soon.
For those that plans to get a MP3 player anytime now, my advise is wait until September, Apple will announce a new line of iPod, some believe that it could have some resemblance toward the iPhone, a touchscreen iPod.
Watch the video, it is a fake.

The new iPod, 3rd Generation
Could this be the next generation iPod? It looks pretty ugly, as if they elongated it from the previous generation. I really really hope the next generation iPod spots a FM tuner.

DRM Free Universal Music but Not On Apple’s iTunes
Universal Music Group is conducting an experiment where they’ll be offering most of their music catalog DRM free for a period of six months only, the down side is - Apple’s iTunes is not invited to join the party.
It appears that Universal is boycotting Apple, Gods know for whatever reason it maybe but their plan could possibly backfire if Apple manage to pull off another ‘must have ipod’ and continue dominating the world of mp3 player.

Next generation Zune Scorpio mp3 Player delayed
Microsoft has yet to officially announce the launch of the next generation Zune player but it appears that there might be a delay (as usual). No official statement was given, for those that are looking for a decent mp3 player with lots of features, my advise is to wait for Zune.
Microsoft may not be a very good hardware company but what makes Zune interesting is the fact that it has tons of features, one of the key features missing from Apple’s iPod is the FM radio.
According to Zune Scene, the next generation Zune is flash based. Visit Zune Scene for a comparison between Apple’s iPod and Microsoft Zune.

Apple iPod FM Tuner?
Apple’s Mac sales up 44%, profit soars 88% — but iPods down, this could be a beginning of an end of the ipod era, but then again it might not be. According to reports, revenues were down year to year basis by 1% only, which is nothing much to shout about but I doubt it is a sign of an end. Steve Jobs is the world’s greatest salesman and by simply mapping out the technology features of the first generation ipod with the latest version, we know that Steve Jobs is introducing new features one at a time, slowly.
He could have just build an iPod with video playback, radio, wifi, huge storage, possibly a torchlight or bluetooh but he decided to take this introduction one at a time. Rumours has it that the next generation iPod is going to have a FM Tuner, which is something I’ve been waiting for a long time, if that doesn’t happen then I’ll get myself a Sony Walkman.
