Briefly: Zen Vision review, RIAA sues/sued back, Griffing SmartDeck, Comparison: large-capacity audio players, iPhone chronicles, Nano survives washing machine
- Zen Vision review & pictures (7/10; it’s small, the screen is nice and it supports a wide range of video codecs; cons: included software is useless, the screen’s only worth it when looked at directly; here’s more pictures of the device for your viewing pleasure [via]; also: remember it’s now available from Creative’s webstore)
- RIAA Sues Oregon Woman, and She Sues Back (yay; also CNet Music Blog’s report)
- Griffin SmartDeck adapter for iPod (very useful since it allows full playback control via the casette deck; “rewind” and the iPod moves back a song, “forward” to move to the next song, switch to radio or press “Eject” and the iPod pauses; it’s compatible with all dockable iPods – $30; a Nano version should available in November) [via]
- Comparison: Large-capacity portable audio devices (the iPod tops the list, followed by iAudio’s X5) [via]
- The iPhone Chronicles (Benedict offers his thoughs on the whole iPhone subject that’s all the rage lately)
- iPod nano survives washing machine (took a few hours to fully recover, but all is working well now) [via]

[...] CNet reviews the Zen Vision (rating: 8.3/10; apart from limited viewing agle, inability to record videos, need to transcode Tivo To Go before being reproducable by the device, they seem to really like it; there’s also DesignTechnica’s review which we covered earlier) [via] [...]
