MP3 Video Clock Radio

I like to wake up early and hit the Beach, it is just something that I have become used to doing.  There are times that I don't always wake up on my own, and this is where something like the JWD MP3 Video Alarm Clock could come in handy.  This clock can wake you up to your choice of FM radio, favorite MP3 or even your favorite video, thanks to its screen and built in speaker.  The unit will cost about $88, and can be found here.

It would be interesting to see what different videos people would choose to wake up to, given a choice.  I can imagine quite a variety, from home videos of loved ones and meditation pieces to clips of Enter the Dragon and Star Trek.  Then again, maybe there are some personal choices that we probably should not discuss in mixed company.

Aloha from the Beach,

New Sharp RD-CX310 Electronic Dictionary and PMP

Walking along the Beach, I find that the latest Sharp Electronic Dictionary has washed up from the ether sea.  The Sharp RD-CX310 Electronic Dictionary updates the RD-CX300 with a bigger 30gb hard drive with DivX support added, FM tuner, Voice Recorder, 82 dictionaries, and 20 audiobooks.  The screen is still a nice 4.3 inch, and the unit folds for easy carrying.

After seeing the latest version, I have to wonder if we are not seeing the future of reference books. An advanced electronic dictionary is something that Sharp has been committed to, with an almost yearly update.  Given a device with the capacity to store movies, play audio books, record audio, listen to the radio and more I have to say that this is one handy, if not expensive, electronic dictionary.

Aloha from the Beach,
