I’ve been waiting for the cell phone and MP3 player (either combined into one gadget, or kept as individual products) that’ll make me drool. Turns out Samsung announced them at CES this year. Disregard the iPhone and the iPods, we all know Apple locks you in to having to stay with their products forever (that’s the evil side of iTunes).
The Cell Phone: Samsung’s Ultra Music is slim and sweet. One side’s got the phone, granted with a small screen, and the other’s got the MP3 player. It’s even sporting a 1 to 2 (reports differ) megapixel camera. The onboard memory is a measly 100mb, but it takes microSD cards, so that’ll give you 2gb. The downer is it will be released on Sprint, a provider which doesn’t have coverage in the uber-boonies I live in.
The MP3 Player: Even though I could just use the above, Samsung’s K3 is too sweet to not get (I’m saving my Christmas gift certs for it). It’s a very slim flash-based player with up to 8gb of memory, just enough for me to consider.
Both the above should be available in March.

Love the electronic band Fluke? Me too. Absurd, Atom Bomb, the whole Puppy album, their work on the Matrix films, all great stuff. If you miss ‘em, then maybe you haven’t been looking in the right places.
Fluke is now 2BitPie, and their album 2 Pie Island is a worthy successor to Puppy. Fly grabs you from the start and gets you movin’. Colours starts with sounds that bring me back to the Matrix, but the vocals are more mature than what I’m used to for the group. Soto Mundo gets me moving again big time. And they end with After Hours a nice trip of beats.
