MP3 Technology Shopping, News & Information

I had a go with the zen stone 1gb Mp3 Player Usb in White and have to say its a good piece of kit for the price its small easy to use and can be taken anywhere here are some of the features:

At Under £20.00 this is a real bargain, however the only downside is that it doesn’t have a screen althoughthe Zen Stone Plus at an Extra £10 has a built in screen and a storage capacity of 2GB which I think is well worth the extra money!

I have never really been that interested in electronics. I find it fascinating how some peopl eneed the latest computer, phone, MP3 player or whatever. I do have all of these items, but they are quite old. I find that I do not have the time to learn how to use them and do not like paying out so much money for these things. Therefore I wait for mine to break before buying something new and even then I get cross about how much it costs me. I know a lot of work goes into making an MP3 player for example and I am not begrudging the company the money, I just hate that I cannot live without one and have to replace it in the first place.

It is amazing how technology seems to be advancing at such a fast rate. It seems hardly any time since I begged my parents to buy me a Sony Walkman and now they are virtually antiques and MP3 players are all the rage. It seems that once we start to advance in a particular field things suddenly rocket for a while because consumers are interested and want something newer and better in that genre. Then something new come on the market such as an iPhone and everyone is talking about phones instead of music players for a while. I guess marketing is key and it is influencing more than we think.

MP3 players seem to be everywhere now. It is amazing really that it took off so quickly and that so many more people seem to be listening to them than ever had personal stereos before. I suppose it is due to the fact that you can put any track on there and you are not limited to the tracks that are on your CD but you can have a great deal more. It is a great thing to have especially when exercising for example as jogging with a CD player could cause the CD to jump and tapes just did not last long enough and had to be turned over.
