Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud.
We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.
Streaming Networks is announcing the availability of iRecord® Music
PMR-300, a one-touch personal audio recorder.
iRecord Music can directly record music and audio to popular portable
media players (PMP), including all iPhone® and iPod® devices. The
recorded files appear in the PMP’s playlist for immediate playback.
iRecord Music can also record to its internal storage space of 2GB. The
contents can later be synced to an attached PMP with a touch of a
button, bringing unprecedented ease of use for sharing music and audio
with family and friends.
The supported PMP’s include the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G, iPhone, iPod
Touch, iPod Classic, iPod Nano, Smart Phones, PSP®-Slim, PSP®, Walkman®,
USB flash drives, and hard drives.
iRecord Music records audio from an analog source, including LP
turntables, cassette players, internet and satellite radio, TV, set-top
boxes, DVR, CD/DVD Players, VCRs, and computers. Virtually any analog
source is supported by iRecord Music, with a gain selection switch that
compensates for peak-to-peak variation of output signal levels of
different analog sources. Supported audio codecs are MP3, AAC, WAV, and
FLAC.
iRecord Music is also a voice recorder and an audio player. Meetings,
lectures and any other audio signal can be recorded using the on-board
microphone in the clearest quality possible. The innovative USB cap of
iRecord Music, housing a rechargeable battery, brings portability to
iRecord Music when recording on-the-go or playing back from the local
storage.
iRecord Music can be used as a standard USB flash drive as well. Any
data can be transferred between a computer and iRecord Music.
iRecord Music’s built in intelligence automatically recognizes when to
act like a recorder, player, USB flash drive, or when to synchronize
with a PMP.
Availability
iRecord Music is priced at $79.95. It can be ordered from www.iRecord.com
and will become available from leading retailers, catalogs, and on-line
merchants.
