A parade of dazzling new digital gadgets that further pushes a trend to give consumers total control over their media — everything from music to movies in the palm of your hand — drew awed gasps from the roughly 400 people attending yesterday’s Leadership Music Digital Summit here.
There was the “Razr Berry,” officially known as the Motorola Q, which is a soon-to-be-released PDA version of the company’s best-selling Razr phone.
Also making a cameo was the Slingbox, a device that allows television junkies to digitally record shows using their TiVo devices and then watch them later over the Internet from virtually any location.
A Pez Candy dispenser that doubles as an MP3 player capable of holding 120 songs, a mobile phone from Nokia that can receive up to 30 cable TV channels and a pair of Oakley sunglasses with a wireless cell phone earpiece all garnered enthusiastic applause from the tech-savvy crowd.
