I only have time to come online once a week, so I am missing here badly. The job is beginning to numb my brain. I know it cos at the beginning of my job, I still think alot of stuff while doing it. Now, my brain just auto shut down and not think. so that's very bad. But one of the perks of my job is that I can listen to music while working. So maybe that will make my poor brain think and run for a while..

I think about lots of stuff.One of the things is that which MP3 player I wnat to buy after I get my money. I know it is a little late now, but it's is better than never. Now, I know I will use it for a long long time so I am not wasting money I know.

And I have think of the models I want to but and I have narrow it down to two!


Firstly, is the Creative one...




Creative NOMAD MuVo²

Storage Size
-- 1.5 GB

File Transfer Speed
-- USB2.0
(which is fast I think)

Battery
-- Charge through USB connection or with power adapter
(important cos I don't want a AA batt)

Battery Life
-- Up to 14 hrs

Weight
-- 101g with battery

Dimensions
-- 67 x 66.5 x 20mm (WxHxD)

*Price* (most important so must put stars)
-- Actually I'm not sure. Website says $299, which they say is 'special price'.
-- Someone selling brand new in auctions for $250.


Then I think of the Phillips one.



Micro audio jukebox HDD060/00

Storage Size
-- 2 GB

File Transfer Speed
-- USB 2.0

Battery
-- Batt type : Li-ion
-- Charging time : 4 hrs full, 2 hrs fast charge hr
-- Removable/ rechargable/ replaceable : yes

Battery Life
-- 10 hrs

Weight
-- 0.093 kg; er 93 g
-- Not sure whether if included battery

Dimensions
-- Product length: 18.3 mm
-- Product height : 84.5 mm
-- Product width : 54.3 mm

*Price*
-- $359 in stores
-- Brand new on auctions $285.
-- Brand new selling on auctions at $295+


Ok then must compare somemore.

Creative -- PROS
-- Longer battery life by 4 hours
-- Support 3 audio formats (MP3/WMA/WAV)
-- Price relatively cheaper than Philips (but 0.5BG lesse)

Creative -- CONS
-- No radio
-- Maybe slow scrolling

Philips -- PROS
-- Radio
-- 0.5 GB more space
-- Fast scrolling
-- Lighter
-- White backlight
-- 5 lines of text

Philips -- CONS
-- More expensive
-- Support only MP3 and WMA


So I really don't know which one to get. I think I favour the Philips one more but I'm not sure. But I think I will get it. Because of the 5 lines screen. But Philips doesn't really make MP3 players so I am kind of worried. But I think should be no problem.

And the damn problem is that there is a 1.5 GB Philips model. So maybe the price will be cheaper. But I didn't see it anywhere. So maybe must look for it.


Then if I still can take it, than I want this!




The Canon PowerShot 400!

With nice colours and a very nice price tag. And I mean it in a good way. It is relatively cheap!
