Sneak Peak

Sneak Peak
If rescuing a fantasy land from evil darkness is one of your goals in life, we have a game for you! What's the catch? Well it will take some lung power and half a dozen friends. Fortunately, when Amber was at NextFest, she got team Ireland to shed some light on how to win.

If it seems your MP3 player can do a lot more these days than just play tunes, it can. The Apple iPod can show colour picture slideshows, one of the Samsung players lets you read electronic books, and the Radio YourWay LX from PoGo! Products allows you listen to and record AM and FM radio broadcasts!

In the end, here's what we think:

Pros
- First AM/FM Recorder
- Line-in recording
- Expandable memory

Cons
- Limited internal memory
- Somewhat bulky
- So-so software
