Jens of Sweden MP-300 MP3 Player Review

By Ian Bell Updated April 24, 2004

Quote from the review at I4U.com:

“Comparing the Jens of Sweden MP-300 with the Top 3 256MB Flash MP3 Player on Amazon.com, which are currently the iRiver iFP-190T, Creative MuVo NX and the Digitalway MPIO FL100, the cool look and the FM Transmitter are the major advantages. All those players are about the same size and weight. The others are cheaper, but they lack the FM Transmitter, which costs anywhere from $20 to $60. The feature richness, the ease-of-use and the excellent sound quality makes this MP3 Player a great choice. The design gives it the necessary edge to stand-out. If we would have a point ranking at I4U, it would get a 10.
The MP-300 sells for $219.99 at Outward Sound. “

CES 2023: HD Hyundai’s Avikus is an A.I. for autonomous boat and marine navigation

This content was produced in partnership with HD Hyundai.
Autonomous vehicle navigation technology is certainly nothing new and has been in the works for the better part of a decade at this point. But one of the most common forms we see and hear about is the type used to control steering in road-based vehicles. That's not the only place where technology can make a huge difference. Autonomous driving systems can offer incredible benefits to boats and marine vehicles, too, which is precisely why HD Hyundai has unveiled its Avikus AI technology -- for marine and watercraft vehicles.

More recently, HD Hyundai participated in the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, to demo its NeuBoat level 2 autonomous navigation system for recreational boats. The name mashes together the words "neuron" and "boat" and is quite fitting since the Avikus' A.I. navigation tech is a core component of the solution, it will handle self-recognition, real-time decisions, and controls when on the water. Of course, there are a lot of things happening behind the scenes with HD Hyundai's autonomous navigation solution, which we'll dive into below -- HD Hyundai will also be introducing more about the tech at CES 2023.
