Briefly: ThinkSecret, Let RIAA sue, Kenwood HD20GA7, iPod cemetery, Cowon A2 available, Alienware CE-IV
- Funny how Think Secret does its best not to admit that once again they were wrong (they were completely inaccurate in what concerned the iPods—the rest of us who expected flash-based iPod minis didn’t do better, but at least we aren’t afraid to admit it; thing is though, how did Kevin Rose knew?) [via]
- Court cases don’t scare music file swappers away (“Despite two huge court losses for file-sharing firms, unauthorized online song and movie swapping is at an all-time peak”—how do you spell “vanity” to RIAA’s lawyers?) [via]
- IFA 2005: Kenwood HD20GA7 (built-in amp and streaming music via WiFi sounds cool, but €349 is kinda steep, and there’s always the danger that the end product may fail to deliver)
- The iPod family cemetery (a look at all the discontinued iPod models so far—well done)
- Cowon A2 available now (20GB for 439,000 Won—approx US$428—, 30GB for 499,000 Won—approx US$485—) [via]
- Alienware’s CE-IV audio player (CE-IV: flash-based, 512MB/1GB, PlaysForSure, FM tuner, memory expansion slot—cool ‘space gadget’ looks)
