So if you’re lucky enough to get a new iPod Nano this Christmas – what sort of protection will you be buying for it? (Come on…everyone buys some sort of skin for their iPod!) If you have any sort of affinity for cute things – then you must pick up one of the Boomwave Nanopets to protect your brand new gift. Or, if you already own one and are tired of your old, boring protection, or you can pick one up to bring a little bit of sass to your iPod.

From the website:

A new breed of protectors has arisen!

Abducted from their beloved masters by the evil Corporation, the Nanopets were subjected to brutal experiments aimed at turning them into cybernetically enhanced killer beasts. Breaking free of their programming, the Nanopets escaped, destroying the laboratories that created them and vowing to vanquish the corrupt creations of the Corporation.

Now, they’ve arrived to protect your iPod Nanos with their captivating canine curves, delightful eared designs and playful personalities.

You can pick up one of four (or more!) Nanopets: Continue reading » Boomwave Nanopets Are Downright Adorable

2 CD iPod Docking Station by Electro

by Mark R

Electro 2 iPod

Say, you’ve got to like the 2 CD iPod Docking Station by Electro. Especially the big round speakers on the front. Oh wait, those aren’t speakers!

All innuendo aside, there are some speakers that are rectangular, but the big round things are actually CD playing things. All you need to do is dock the iPod and you can play and recharge something at the same time.

Zelco Outi

by Mark R

OUTI

If someone were to tell me they had an “Outi”, I would assume they were referring to their belly button. However, if they said they had an Zelco Outi, I would say they had some very cool earphones.

The Outi earphones are different than most phones because they clip onto the ears and don’t go into any eardrums at all. I suppose this clip-on earrings formation allows this to transmit vibrations directly through the skin and cartilage.

The end result is supposed to be some serious sound that resonates throughout your entire body. The company says that it makes the listener part of the music or movie that he or she is listening to, and yet it can do this without blocking out the conversation or impending danger.

Transmitta II spreads sound around

by Edwin

Transmitta II might sound a little bit dyslexic, but this is a pretty nifty device when you think about it.

The Transmitta system comprises of two small, rechargeable, and very portable units – one is the transmitter, the other is the receiver. You can plug the transmitter into your audio source (be it an iPod, CD player, computer, TV, Radio, you name it) via a headphone socket or USB. If you choose the latter then the transmitter will also recharge as it works. The receiver can be plugged into whatever device you are using via an auxiliary socket, and voila – you can send your music wirelessly around your house, flat or workplace. You might love your on-line radio stations, but you want to listen to them in the living room where your computer ain’t – just use your Transmita VII to send your radio tunes to your hi-fi. Play MTV on your TV and listen to it through your radio in the bathroom. The Transmita units speak to each other via 2.4GHz frequency allowing for CD quality audio to be streamed, and uses frequency hopping to make sure there is no conflict with any other devices using that frequency.

The Transmitta II can be yours for £49.95.

iPond plays sounds, stores fish

by Edwin

Fancy this portable speaker that carries a fish along with it? That’s exactly what the iPond is – it hooks up to portable audio devices like the iPod, but has in recent times drawn the ire from animal rights groups as the iPond is said to offer inadequate space for a fish to live. Meant for Betta fish (also known as Siamese fighting fish), the 650mm iPond has been said to be insufficient, since a single Betta fish requires around 10 liters of water to swim around and receive a proper amount of oxygen. In addition, the speaker is located at the bottom, so your favorite trance sounds might actually unsettle the fish further. The iPond retails for $60.

iNo Interactive Game Plays Well with the iPod

by Mark R

iNo Interactive Game

Considering how much the iPod has changed our lives, isn’t it about time a game was designed around it. Kind of like that Channel surfing game where you have to find something on the remote in order to win.

Such is the concept behind the iNo Interactive Game. The game is played as players alternate putting their iPods in the iNo, and then it randomly selects a tune to play. I think it has some speakers on it for that purpose.

After that, the players chime in with one of the four wireless remotes, and then guess the song it plays. Personally, I think the guy who has the iPod in the iNo has an unfair advantage.

Tiny Audio Bug Speakers for iPod

by Carolyn

82411.jpgThe iPod is great. You can take most (or all) of your music with you and listen to it whenever you want. But what about those times where you want to listen to your music, but don’t want to use your headphones to do so? You need an external speaker. But most speakers are bulky and not that portable or they need some sort of external, corded power source.

The Audio Bug speaker is small, extremely portable and runs on two AAA batteries and plugs directly into your iPod (or other mp3 player) headphone jack to play your music wherever you want. The speaker is small enough to fit into a pocket and is ready to plug in at any time for music wherever you are.
