Hello fellow Whiteblazers!
I'm wondering if anybody out there owns, or has tried the following device:
http://www.pogoproducts.com/radio_yourway.html
I am in the market for a compact MP3 player/AM+FM radio. This sure looked promising to me...
Small, lightweight, built-in speaker, earbud headphones, uses SD cards for expansion and MP3/WMA storage, AM and FM radio, built-in microphone for voice and radio program recording, also takes AAA batteries.
The AAA battery thing is important to me since I own a Garmin Geko 301 and a Petzl Tikka headlamp -- they both use AAAs. I'd like to be able to swap batteries between devices...
The only thing left to be desired is Macintosh compatibility. I currently use iTunes to manage my MP3s/music. The website for this Pogo product says it only has Windows software. I wonder if you could get around having to use the bundled software with this... Maybe since it has USB, I might be able to use it with my Macintosh G4? Who knows...
It would also be nice to find a Digital Camera that takes AAA batteries and uses SD cards for storage... This way I could swap AAAs and SD cards between the Pogo unit and the camera. Anybody have suggestions on where to find a good quality camera that matches these specs? Higher megapixel is definately preferable... I know Sony makes a camera that uses AAAs, but it also relies on Memory Sticks for storage... Grrr.
Let me know. At the very least I thought I'd mention this Pogo device, looks interesting... I've already looked at the Lyra, iRiver, Sangean AM/FM/WB Radio, etc. Haven't seen anoybody mention this one the board yet... Maybe it's a piece of junk... I dunno. ;) Thoughts, comments, please...
