I’m always surprised at how much love the iPod Nano gets in the accessory department. Here’s one for more for those that have a preference for the Nano over the other types of iPods. Of course, don’t worry, this case is also available for the Touch as well. The accessory allows for you to always have a speaker on hand, because the speaker is stashed on the back of the case. It’s probably better suited for someone that prefers portable speakers over headphones a majority of the time.
I’ve reviewed many headphones and earbuds, and I have discovered very little that differentiates one brand from the other. The Coosh headphones are definitely the most unique that I have seen in quite a while.
Coosh headphones (not to be mistaken for the Koosh line of weird rubbery fuzzy balls) are made by the BIC company. As you can see by the silicone earring, these phones will stay in your ear a lot better than a BIC pen on your ear. They also come with a high capacity clip on the wire for a little added staying power. The Coosh website shows a man breakdancing with these things on, and the Coosh headphones stay on while he is upside-down.
By the way, these earrings are completely detachable, so if you don’t want that look, or if you’re not into active activities like breakdancing, then you can go without them. As for the sound, it is quite good with “full-bodied stereo sound quality” that is as good as it is advertised.
B&N goes after Amazon Kindle with the PLD
Book retailer Barnes and Noble is going squarely at the Amazon Kindle by announcing an eBook application which will enable readers to enjoy eBooks on everything from the iPhone to the Blackberry, to their own “plastic logic device.”
The Sharper Image is no stranger to clocks that double as iPod docks, like the Clock Radio we reported on the other day. This particular clock radio is made for travelers.
You can’t see this from the photo, but this L-shaped dock can fold up into a 12 X 3 rectangle, which is about the size of a hardback book. This convenient and portable shape can then be tucked into the included soft travel case, and the user can carry it around to wherever they go.
More and more it seems that you can find audio devices that have a subtle retro spin. You could of course also find something that’s blatantly retro, but not everyone wants something like that. Instead you can get a mixture of the new and sleek while still getting a little bit of a vintage feel. Thankfully unlike the retro radios, this does more than pick up the local FM radio stations.
I had a clock radio that was beside my bed all throughout the eighties, and this new Sharper Image Clock Radio dock for the iPod and iPhone reminds me of it.
I believe that part of Sharper Image’s re-launch is to make electronic products that are not only neat looking, but practical. And what could be more practical for life in the new millennium than an dock for the iPod or iPhone? Especially one that can double as an alarm clock.
With this Sharper Image Clock Radio, the user can wake up to the radio or some custom playlist, or just the usual beep tone. It also features a dual alarm and an auto off timer and nap feature that you can set 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes.
Although Sharp isn’t well known for their iPod docks, you might want to check out their new one. Sharp has recently released a brand new docking station that will not only play your music off of your iPod, but look great doing it. It doesn’t stand out a ton for the design, but the red and black version of the dock is bound to attract at least a little attention from your guests.
I’ve already covered the Rotating Speaker System from Sharper Image just the other day, but this next product from that company is for those who want to take their speakers out of the room, or even out of the house.
The Indoor Outdoor Wireless Speaker comes in two main parts. The first is a transmitter that hooks up to your laptop or MP3 Player via headphone jack. This transmitter beams the sound to the stereo speaker (that you see in the photo) for a range of 160 feet.
