MP3 player di telinga anda

Earphone tidak lagi dibutuhkan pengguna MP3 player bermerek Antares ini. Tinggal dorong masuk pemutar musik itu ke liang telinga. Penampilannya memang menjadi mirip Bluetooth earphone, tetapi ini bukanlah earphone Bluetooth.

Antares KPMP316 dari Korea ini adalah sebuah MP3 player yang merangkap sebagai earphone. Dua earbud yang besar dan sebuah cord tampak di badan pemutar musik ini. Alhasil pemutar musik ini memang harus dimasukkan ke telinga pendengarnya. Jangan kuatir, bobotnya hanya 18 gram. Ukurannya pun tak terlalu besar sehingga mengganggu aktivitas. Antares KPMP316 ini berukuran 43x19x10 mm.

Juga jangan kuatir tentang kemampuan tampung lagunya. Anda bisa memilih dari tiga tipe kapasitas: 1GB, 2GB, atau 4GB. Di dalam perangkat ini pun tertanam sebuah batere Li-Ion `90mAh.

Bagaimana pengoperasiannya? Tidak rumit karena memang tidak banyak kendali yang ditawarkan. Kontrol dibagi di dua telinga: kendali volume di telinga kiri dan tombol Play/Pause, Forward/Back dan Power di telinga kanan. Kedua earphone ini dihubungkan oleh sebuah wire.

Antares KPMP316DAP tersedia dalam enam pilihan warna: kuning, hijau, orange, biru, ungu, dan hitam. Belum ada informasi mengenai harganya di tanah air.

Tentang Opera Mini

Kehadiran browser opera mini ini sangat membantu sekali buat orang-orang yang tidak punya koneksi internet pribadi, terutama seperti saya :-):-), yang dulunya hanya mengandalkan warnet.

Versi terakhir yang dirilis adalah operamini versi 4.2. Dibandingkan dengan versi 3 dan 2, versi 4 ini mengalami banyak perubahan, terutama dari segi tampilan yang mampu menampilkan halaman web secara penuh. Jika bosan, skin nya pun bisa diganti sesuai selera. Kabar terakhir dari opera mini ini katanya dalam waktu dekat, opera mini versi 5 akan dirilis. Tapi belum tahu juga sih kapan tepatnya Opera mini v.5 akan beredar.

Selain opera mini versi 4.2 yang resmi, terdapat juga opera mini mod yang merupakan modifikasi dari opera mini versi resmi. Tentu saja dengan adanya modifikasi ini, opera mini mod mempunyai kelebihan di banding opera mini yang resmi. Kelebihan opera mini mod ini antara lain bisa membuka banya window, tersedia download manager, file manager, dsb. Opera mini mod ini juga tersedia versi bahasa indonesia. Versi terakhir dari opera mini mod yang dirilis adalah versi 3.1. Sebenarnya saya juga masih penasaran dengan opera mini mod, bagaimana jadi nya nanti kalau Opera mini mod versi 4.2 dirilis. Pasti Opera mini mod versi 4 akan menjadi sebuah mobile browser yang betul-betul hebat.
