I received my free Xenote iTag in the mail. This is the device that allows you to “bookmark” when you hear something you wish more information about on the one radio station it works with. I assume it consists primarily of a clock and memory; it doesn’t need to do much more than that. It comes with a serial cable for downloading. The device is translucent blue and has one button on it. It makes a little peeping sound when you press it. I’ve pressed it a few times (actually everyone I’ve shown it to has pressed it), but haven’t actually listened to the station I’m supposed to be using it with yet! It is a decent first pass at an interesting market concept. I could use an easy way to remember URLs of interesting items on the radio, even some of the ads. It’s unsafe to write them down when I’m driving. Usually I try to invent some kind of mnemonic device, but then I forget that I made one to remember it by.
