Creative's wireless headphones and Samsung's 3GB phone

[Applespider]

The BBC are annoucing some of the gadgets being shown off at the CEBIT technology show in Germany. MS Media Centre gets a mention, of course.

Creative are showing off personal wireless headphones to use with a Zen which apparently last for 30 hours. And Samsung have put a 3GB hard drive into a phone. The most amazing thing is that they managed to write an article talking about personal music players without using the trite phrase 'iPod killer'

Hmm. All I get in that article is cyrillic.

But I do have a point: Anybody know who makes that 3gb 1" drive? It isn't us.

Cornice (www.corniceco.com) makes a 3GB one-inch drive. Cornice was founded in 2000 and was the first one-inch hdd maker to provide storage to the mass market. They've provided the first one-inch storage to the first one-inch mp3 player (RCA Micro Lyra and Rio Niturs), USB Storage, GPS device, digital video camera, and cell phone. They have something they call "Crash Guard" technology that makes the drive extra-durable and it can be dropped onto hard concrete from 1.5 meters up and still survive. It seems like the perfect solution because they are also lower cost vs. the idustry giants Hitachi and Seagate, who also now have recognized the one-inch storage potention and have jumped into the market.

They look awful but I like the technology within them. Unlike other wireless solutions, these work by magnetic inductance. Systems like these are used in theatres so that patrons with hearing aids can tune in to an audio feed of the show. The great thing about them is that they barely use any battery compared to a similar BlueTooth solution. For an MP3 player, which is always on the listener, it seems like an ideal choice of technology.

This is the first Creative product that I wish was available on the iPod. Creative has ripped off the iPod design in the past so Apple should turn the tables on them and rip off this magnetic inductance solution.
