Sony eMarker Radio

Pros: High Style with a great idea. Priced right.
Cons: It only works with some browsers and Windows 98 (second edition) and better.

I have finally removed the Magic 8 Ball from my key chain. Of course I consulted the plastic genie in the murky blue water before getting a new key chain, but I was sick of "asking again later".

The eMarker is a clever little...

Pros: Small, Cute, Cool looks, functional, great gadget, Sony, easy interface, easy to use
Cons: no support other than Win98, website is flash = slow, limited # of e-marks

This little gadget from Sony is recommended by many print sources as one of this year's neatest stocking stuffer, Christmas gift, or cool gadget. To an extent I agree- the eMarker is a cool looking device, small and in fact quite functional. However, I...

Pros: Low price of the unit, no service fee
Cons: only Radio, USB only, now discontinued

If you like music, you are going to like this one.
It's eMarker from Sony. Right now, it's only distributed by a number of limited stores(Amazon and eMarker site) You may wonder what this might be. It doesn't look like PDA and it only cost...

Pros: very easy and fun to use
Cons: nothing at all

The Sony eMarker is a GREAT new device, It collects a time stamp everytime you push the little 'e' and then you plug it into a Windows Based, USB system and the 'time stamps' are uploaded to your personal FREE website and you get to see who sung that...

Pros: looks cool, that's about it
Cons: doesn't work with college radio. Doesn't work most of the time, period.

Wow, do I feel stupid for putting this ridiculous object on my key chain even if it was only for a few days. This small device is supposed to figure out which radio station you are listening to and later, tell you what the song you "marked" was. Well I...

Pros: If you ever wanted to know who sang a song, you need this
Cons: Supports only certain operating systems, and limited to 3 stations

Well,

I read about the Sony E-marker a while back, but since I didn't have a USB port or an operating system that supported USB, I couldn't get it. (USB is now pretty much on almost all new computer systems and Windows 98 and above support...

Pros: Futuristic, Small, Cheap
Cons: Poor Button Placement, Compatibility

Quite honestly, I've grown to love my e-marker. First of all, it's cool even if it didn't do anything; it makes for a great keychain. The question at hand is, does it work? Well, it has its days, and theoretically it should work, but there are a few...

Pros: very handy, attractive design.
Cons: none

I was just browsing through Amazon.com's site when I saw this cute little thing on sale. At first I could not believe that something like this would work but after reading the specifications it looked as if it would work, so I thought I'd give it a try,...

Pros: looks cool
Cons: not very functional, very difficult

Don't let the sleek look of the emarker fool you, it's got bugs a-plenty and some serious design flaws. On a recent visit to Best Buy to purchase this item as a Christmas present, the technicians there couldn't quite "get it to work". Here's...

Pros: Looks cool
Cons: it sucks.

i dig electronics. At 20$ i figured, who cares, let me check this out. Guess what!? It sucks. Its a cool idea, but the thing that makes it suck is the website. It uses flash and a different screen size than i choose to use so i cant see half the screen....

Pros: Stylish look, other people will think it's cool.
Cons: It's pretty much useless.

Ok, ok. I'll be the first to admit that I'm a gadget freak. I own a digital camera, a few MP3 players, a couple cell phones, you get the picture.

So when the Sony Emarker came out, I was naturally curious. And at $20 a unit, I decided to...

Pros: nice idea
Cons: doesn't work!! #@*&^#

I've had many problems with Sony computer items before, but I thought I'd give this one a try. After being on the phone with Sony (who didn't even know what the emarker was) for over four hours, I still can't the thing to work. There's some problem with...

Pros: None.
Cons: More trouble than it's worth. Doesn't work.

The Sony Emarker is a good idea, but it needs some flaws worked out first. But first, the Pros. 1.Long battery life 2.Again, it's a really good idea. 3.Very compact-fits in your pocket well.

The Cons! 1.The keychain is low quality. It broke...

Pros: Better than nothing, very useful base.
Cons: Ugly color scheme, and not worth the money, just a glorified time-stamper.

As far as actually remembering songs, this isn't all it's cooked up to be. All it does it record the time at which you push the button, you have to know and remember (for each individual song) what radio station you're listening to. Essentially, the only...

Pros: Cheap, USB connector, cheap, fits on keychain
Cons: Cradle cord is very short, kinda ugly colors

This little gadget sounds very useful, but I'm not sure if its quite that useful. When you hear a...
