iPod killer version #289: the Sony Walkman X

A lot of folks say the Palm Pre is going to be an iPhone killer. I am not sure about that, but it’ll be a competitor and may sway some votes. What I do know is that when it comes to portable media, Apple is still tops there. For reasons why, check out the new Walkman X.

Kodak rolls out the first OLED Wireless Digital Picture Frame

Digital picture frames have been sweeping the market, and so is OLED (organic light-emitting diode) technology. I suppose it was just an obvious to mix the two, and Kodak is the first as the company just unveiled the wireless OLED digital picture frame.
