Archos AV400
ARCHOS
another day, another gadget. this update of archos's AV300 series takes it to the next level, with TV recording functions, built-in CF card reader. looks like a tasty replacement for my NJB3. seems that the AV500 is already on the horizon, with PDA capability added. convergence is the name of the game these days.

deja vu, only that this is a bluetooth headset, as compared to the all-in-one TDK Mojo 1 mentioned below. Unknown sound quality, but most likely compromised.

TDK Mojo 1

a 128MB MP3 player and FM radio/recorder on a pair of neckband-style headphones, which means no more messy cables. the idea is not new though, panasonic, sony & nowevolution have tried it previously without much success.
fyi, this post is the 1st one here to be posted using the moblog function, done using a handphone.

the bug
another day, another cool gadget
this ET lookalike features DAB radio
the cool feature comes in being able to pause live DAB broadcast and even record it on a SD card in mp2 format [just found a mp2 to mp3 converter, haven't tested it yet]
why "the bug" then? well, that's its name

another original mini, with a union jack roof 

one of the usual suspects at a carpark rally, an evo 8, visually i like the evo 7 more  

the original mini is still suitable for carpark rallies due to its light weight & nimbleness

frankly i think the show is not worth going, the accompanying carpark rally is more interesting, with fast cars being driven to their limit [& sometimes beyond]
here, an evo 7 rests after a run in the so called supersprint
i say that because a normal carpark supersprint involves a figure of 8 pattern, while this "supersprint" is more akin to a normal carpark rally, with a circuit like pattern. also, no navigators are used for this event as compared to a normal carpark rally
