TOY FAIR 2012: Old skooling
Toy tech brand LeapFrog is expanding its line-up of educational kiddy gadgets with a handheld, portable music player that looks like an iPod classic, but for pre-schoolers.
The LeapFrog Move & Learn Music Player won't store MP3s or other file formats, but will come with 20 pre-installed songs for the little ones to enjoy. And there are also four activity modes aimed to teach infants about movement and help them improve their motor skills.
There are two versions of the player that will become available later in the year, one is styled around Scout, the company's iconic green dog pal and one around Violet, the female equivalent.
We haven't been informed when the Move & Learn Music Player will become available, but it'll cost ?9.99 when it hits stores and be suitable for children 18 months and older. It's also worth pointing out that the sample Pocket-lint saw and photographed at Toy Fair 2012 in London was a prototype, and that the line of missing pixels on the its screen will not be an issue with the final toy.

CES 2012: Made for iPod and Walkman
Sony has announced a number of new docks, aimed at people who don't own Sony products. The iPhone, iPod and iPad capable docks are designed to be acoustically precise and stylish as well as powerful.
Sony claims that its S-Master Digital Amplifier and DMC technology allow you to "fill a room" with delightful sound. Unless you like Florence + The Machine, where it promises to fill the room with hateful noise. Even so, the room will still be full of sound, and that's impressive from such small speaker docks.
Each of these new docks can accept wireless music too, either via Air Play and Bluetooth. So no matter what phone or MP3 player you have, it's quite likely you'll be able to send music to these docks, without the hassle of cables. The RDP-XA900iP and RDP-XA700iP both have Airplay, but only the 900 has Bluetooth. They are also single-box 2.1 channel units - if such a thing is possible. The RDP-X280iP and RDP-X200iP don't have Airplay, but both have Bluetooth built-in. They are two-way speaker systems, rather than having an integrated subwoofer.
Sony says that the "dual passive radiators" make "explosive bass" and give the DMC-equipped speakers something that normal docks don't have.
The flagship RDP-XA900iP has 200 Watts of power at its disposal. It's finished in black fabric that doesn't impede sound, and accented with some attractive silver trim to give it the look of a device that's at place in any room, no matter how cool. The RDP-XA700iP is a lot less powerful, at 60 Watts, but it still has the S-Master amp and DMC for powerful, but controlled bass.
The X280 and X200 both offer 40 Watts of power, more than enough for a smaller room. The X280 also has a built-in battery, which can manage up to 6 hours of music on a single charge. All these docks are available from May 2012.

2GB to 8GB swap
In the middle of November, Pocket-lint reported on the fact that, due to a faulty battery, Apple promised to replace first generation iPod nanos. However, back then we were of the understanding that the replacement model would also be a first-gen device, only one that worked.
Reader Mike Blackery, though, has informed us that his knackered iPod nano has been replaced with a newer version, and that it is actually a brand new, sixth generation equivalent. Plus, where his old one was 2GB, he is now the owner of an 8GB device:
"If you remember," says Mike. "Apple promised to replace faulty 1st Gen iPods that (might) have a faulty battery. I sent my 2GB iPod back to Apple about 5 weeks ago and was advised by email this morning that the replacement had been despatched yesterday.
"It arrived this morning by UPS," he adds. "And I was shocked to discover that Apple had replaced it with a brand new 8GB Gen 6 iPod nano!"
He doesn't let on whether or not he's pleased with that, but we suspect so. It's certainly more than we would have expected.
Pocket-lint has also sent a faulty first-gen player back to Apple. We'll let you know how we get on... We want a MacBook Air at the very least.
