Join The Rotating Alarm Clock for the iPod Touch
I tend to chuckle a little when I see a new iPod accessory, because there is such an overabundance of all different types of them. Any new one that comes out really has to do something different to stand out from the rest. Some prefer to do so with extremely high quality sound and others decide to go for a design that just looks a bit different from the rest. This Rotating Alarm Clock works for all those with the fancy new iPod Touch or iPhone. However, don’t worry, the alarm clock allows for you to plug in other devices as well, it just won’t sit on the dock like the iPod Touch does.

Plug your MP3 player, not guitar into this cool amp
I’ve tried for many years to learn how to play the guitar. Unfortunately every time I get to the point where my fingers are finally moving the way they should be, life gets in the way and suddenly I have no time to practice. Needless to say, there is a perfectly good guitar and amp sitting in my office that rarely gets used. Here is one amp that anyone will be able to use, regardless of musical talent.

iMainGo 2 MP3 Player Speaker
At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this year, Portable Sound Laboratories unveiled the iMainGo 2, an upgrade to the iMainGo. The iMainGo is a speaker system designed with the iPod in mind, but can accommodate other MP3 Players.
In fact, the iMainGo 2 has a new feature to help fit all kinds of MP3 Players. This custom fit technology, also known as iMainGo Foam, is a spongey thing that allows whatever brand of MP3 player, be it the Zune, Zen Stone, or anything else, to be securely housed.
Another new feature of the iMainGo 2 is the upgraded high quality, premium titanium speakers which give unusually high-quality sound for something its size.

Nikko’s R2 gets an upgrade to R3
Last year, we broke the news that Nikko Electronics had created the ultimate home theater bot in the R2D2 Projector DVD player, a plucky well put together droid that not only provides comedy relief, but can help you relive that “help me Obi Wan Kinobi” fantasy. Well, now Nikko announces that R2 has gotten an upgrade …

iLogic Sound Hat Keeps The Tunes Thumping Through The Chill
Do I realize that the cold seasons have passed and that the heat of summer is just around the corner? Do I ever, and frankly I can’t wait! It’s understood that some of you out there are fall and winter lovers. That’s cool, I’m just not down with it. The cold seasons have that unforgiving side effect of shivering which is enough to warrant disdain from this chilly blogger.
Now that the steamy seasons of summer are quickly approaching, it’s time to start planning for the chill that will start moving in around September. One of the reasons I despise winter so much is the way that winter apparel is always in the way of me fulfilling my gadget duties. Wearing clunky gloves means I can’t text message properly. Wearing a hat to cover my ears means I can’t listen to my iPod without looking awkward or feeling uncomfortable. The iLogic Sound Hat allows for an ear warming and music listening synergy.

Opera Headphones use Kleer Wireless Technology
Korean company DigiFi has developed a product known as the Opera, which has nothing to do with a certain genre of musical theater. However, if you want to use it to listen to opera, it will work for that.
This might not be obvious from the photo, but the Opera is a pair of headphones that was designed to wrap around the back of your head with an ear bud on each side. Even though the ear buds are attached, there is no cord connecting this headset to the iPod. Instead of a cord, it uses Kleer technology.
For those of you who are not familiar with Kleer, it is a wireless technology that claims to have better specifications than Bluetooth. In the case of the Opera, all you need to do is plug in the Kleer wireless transmitter to the MP3 Player’s headphone jack, and the headphones will be synced wirelessly to your player.

Lego Speakers for iPhone and iPod
It appears that Perpetual Kid, a site designed to “entertain your inner child”, has lived up to their slogan with the Lego speakers for the iPod and iPhone.
These Lego speakers have a connector that is fully compatible with the iPod Classic, Nano, and Mini. I can only assume that the sound comes out of those big plus signs that you see on the front. What you don’t see are the volume controls that are apparently “camouflaged” by design.
This contraption apparently requires no batteries, so I can only guess that it gets its power from the iPod or iPhone itself. This could result in a short time of use, but the site doesn’t say how long the Lego speaker will play off of a fully charged device.
