Although I don’t usually do ‘product release posts’, I just wanted to quickly mention something about the new Samsung MP3 players, the YP-10 and the YP-2. What I think is super smart about these players is their Bluetooth integration: they will link to a Bluetooth phone and display/chime when you get a phonecall. Not only that, but the call will then be routed through your headphones while you can speak through the player’s built-in microphone.

How smart is that? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve missed a phone call or text message because I was listening to my MP3 player. This is precisely what tech is supposed to do – make your life more straightforward and convenient. Very smart stuff, particularly since the only better option is some obscure all-in-one device called the ‘iPhone’ – which isn’t available in Canada anyway…

Although I think I’ll post something longer on this later, for the time being I’m having an awesome conversation with myself over on Fimoculous. Join the pointless narcissistic fun!
