Gateway Unveils 6GB MP3 Photo Jukebox

By
Gateway Unveils 6GB MP3 Photo Jukebox

The newest model, the GCM-6, provides 6GB of storage for housing up to 1,500 MP3 songs, putting a vast library of music favorites always within reach.  Sleek enough to fit within a pocket or purse, the Gateway MP3 Photo Jukebox is about the size of a deck of cards and weighs just 3.4 ounces.  Its stylish new look includes an attractive two-tone silver and black design.
   
Unlike some other popular MP3 players on the market, the Gateway MP3 Photo Jukebox comes with a replaceable and rechargeable battery, which is a significant advantage, since even rechargeable batteries are perishable.  The replaceable battery provides eight to ten hours of continuous music playback on a single charge.

Stores Up to 2,000 Digital Photos

As an added bonus, the Gateway MP3 Photo Jukebox can store up to 2,000 digital photos, a handy feature for vacation travelers who require back-up storage to their primary camera.  It can display digital photos one by one or in a slideshow format, which is enhanced by the color screen.  The transferring of photos to the MP3 Photo Jukebox is simple as connecting the included USB 2.0 cable between the jukebox and digital camera and following the user prompts.  Unlike other players on the market, it can grab photos off cameras or flash cards without add-on interface cards.

Napster To Go — Unlimited Access to Over a Million Songs
   
The Gateway MP3 Photo Jukebox comes ready to download music content directly from a variety of industry standard sources including Napster To Go which provides unlimited access to more than a million songs for a modest monthly fee of just $14.95.  With purchase, Gateway customers that are new Napster members will get the first three months of Napster to Go free. While Gateway customers can chose to listen to songs ripped from their CDs or purchased per track online, they can also use Napster To Go to fill their MP3 Photo Jukebox with the songs they want — a real value for those who prefer to sample new artists before purchasing individual tracks or albums.

Small Size; Big Sound
   
The device measures only 3.8in x 2.3in x 0.7in (L x W x D), yet it’s big in sound.  The Gateway MP3 Photo Jukebox delivers rich sound in clear, crisp high-fidelity.  Music can be browsed by album, artist, genre, track or playlist, while 20 different equalizer settings and various modes such as shuffle and repeat enable users to tailor the music mix to suit their own personal preferences.
   
The Gateway MP3 Photo Jukebox includes Windows Media Player 10, which
provides more music and more choices to Gateway customers, such as built-in access to a broad range of digital music services.  Windows Media Player 10 provides an Auto Sync feature that automatically synchronizes customer’s digital music collections and photos from a PC to their new Gateway MP3 Photo Jukebox.

Convenient Accessories Maximize Listening Pleasure
   
The Gateway Photo Jukebox works with a wide range of portable music accessories including standard FM transmitters such as the Belkin Tunecast II Mobile FM Transmitter, so enthusiasts can enjoy their personal music library through any FM stereo receiver whether it’s in the car, via their PC or home stereo.  Suggested retail pricing is only $39.99.
   
The Gateway Belt/Armband Clip keeps the MP3 Photo Jukebox secure while users are on the go.  Built of lightweight, textured plastic for a more secure fit around the waist or arm, it features a durable armband that can be easily adjusted to fit most users.  Suggested retail pricing is only $19.99.
   
A removable and rechargeable Gateway replacement battery allows the user to determine how many continuous hours of playtime are needed.  Suggestedretail pricing is only $19.99.

Pricing and Availability
   
The Gateway MP3 Photo Jukebox comes with an AC Adapter, soft cover bag, camera connection cable and ear bud headphones for the low price of just $249.99.  It will be available directly from Gateway and at leading electronics retailers.

Digital Trends’ Top Tech of CES 2023 Awards
Best of CES 2023 Awards Our Top Tech from the Show Feature

Let there be no doubt: CES isn’t just alive in 2023; it’s thriving. Take one glance at the taxi gridlock outside the Las Vegas Convention Center and it’s evident that two quiet COVID years didn’t kill the world’s desire for an overcrowded in-person tech extravaganza -- they just built up a ravenous demand.

From VR to AI, eVTOLs and QD-OLED, the acronyms were flying and fresh technologies populated every corner of the show floor, and even the parking lot. So naturally, we poked, prodded, and tried on everything we could. They weren’t all revolutionary. But they didn’t have to be. We’ve watched enough waves of “game-changing” technologies that never quite arrive to know that sometimes it’s the little tweaks that really count.

Digital Trends’ Tech For Change CES 2023 Awards
Digital Trends CES 2023 Tech For Change Award Winners Feature

CES is more than just a neon-drenched show-and-tell session for the world’s biggest tech manufacturers. More and more, it’s also a place where companies showcase innovations that could truly make the world a better place — and at CES 2023, this type of tech was on full display. We saw everything from accessibility-minded PS5 controllers to pedal-powered smart desks. But of all the amazing innovations on display this year, these three impressed us the most:

Samsung's Relumino Mode
Across the globe, roughly 300 million people suffer from moderate to severe vision loss, and generally speaking, most TVs don’t take that into account. So in an effort to make television more accessible and enjoyable for those millions of people suffering from impaired vision, Samsung is adding a new picture mode to many of its new TVs.
[CES 2023] Relumino Mode: Innovation for every need | Samsung
Relumino Mode, as it’s called, works by adding a bunch of different visual filters to the picture simultaneously. Outlines of people and objects on screen are highlighted, the contrast and brightness of the overall picture are cranked up, and extra sharpness is applied to everything. The resulting video would likely look strange to people with normal vision, but for folks with low vision, it should look clearer and closer to "normal" than it otherwise would.
Excitingly, since Relumino Mode is ultimately just a clever software trick, this technology could theoretically be pushed out via a software update and installed on millions of existing Samsung TVs -- not just new and recently purchased ones.

AI turned Breaking Bad into an anime — and it’s terrifying
Split image of Breaking Bad anime characters.

These days, it seems like there's nothing AI programs can't do. Thanks to advancements in artificial intelligence, deepfakes have done digital "face-offs" with Hollywood celebrities in films and TV shows, VFX artists can de-age actors almost instantly, and ChatGPT has learned how to write big-budget screenplays in the blink of an eye. Pretty soon, AI will probably decide who wins at the Oscars.

Within the past year, AI has also been used to generate beautiful works of art in seconds, creating a viral new trend and causing a boon for fan artists everywhere. TikTok user @cyborgism recently broke the internet by posting a clip featuring many AI-generated pictures of Breaking Bad. The theme here is that the characters are depicted as anime characters straight out of the 1980s, and the result is concerning to say the least. Depending on your viewpoint, Breaking Bad AI (my unofficial name for it) shows how technology can either threaten the integrity of original works of art or nurture artistic expression.
What if AI created Breaking Bad as a 1980s anime?
Playing over Metro Boomin's rap remix of the famous "I am the one who knocks" monologue, the video features images of the cast that range from shockingly realistic to full-on exaggerated. The clip currently has over 65,000 likes on TikTok alone, and many other users have shared their thoughts on the art. One user wrote, "Regardless of the repercussions on the entertainment industry, I can't wait for AI to be advanced enough to animate the whole show like this."
