Good Technology is currently planning on releasing two accessories for
the SoundsGood. The EnergyClip™ (shown) allows the user to listen
to music outside the Visor. It uses a single AA battery to provide
the SoundsGood 10 hours of use outside the Visor (although I would never
leave my Visor at home
).
The EnergyClip is currently slated for a November release at $39.99.
A cassette adapter due this October for $21.00 will allow you to listen
to the SoundsGood in your car.
Cases for the SoundsGood
Good
news: because the SoundsGood is essentially a standard-size module (it
sticks out 1.5 mm above the Visor and 1 mm behind the Visor), no case should
have any problems with the SoundsGood. This is the perfect MP3 module
for users with beltclip cases. The only case that has any problems
is the Rhodiana
Visor Case, which blocks the cover headphone jack because of the way
it secures the Visor, so you will have to remove the Visor from the case
to play music.
Conclusion
The SoundsGood by Good Technology has somehow managed to cram the equivalent of a CD player
into a standard-size Springboard module that doesn't compromize much on
features. The 64 MB of memory can not be expanded, and the price
is very high, but if you can afford it, the SoundsGood with its high transfer
speed and long battery life will not leave you disappointed.
