For those of you that ride a Harley, here’s a Harley Davidson Stereo Speaker System with a dock for your iPhone or iPod. Of course, those that don’t even ride one have been known to enjoy the occasional Harley themed product. This will not only charge up your iPod or iPhone, but it also has the ability to wake you up every morning and in a true Harley Davidson fashion.
Some of you might remember last January at CES when we covered the Tunebug, an interesting little MP3 Player that could turn any flat surface into a speaker. It would appear that this technology is being imitated (hopefully not stolen) with the K-Box.
The K-Box (not to be confused with K-Pax, a Kevin Spacey movie where he plays a guy who thinks he’s an alien) is about the size of a mobile phone, and is designed to connect with devices like mobile phones or iPods to give your sound one dynamic boost.
If you watch the YouTube video after the jump, you will see that it connects quite effortlessly (and out of the box, if I might add) to the headphones jack and then turns any flat surface like a tabletop into a booming resonator.
ProClip USA has recently announced a bunch of device holders which were specially designed to securely mount the recently released iPhone 3G S to car, truck and SUV dashboards alongside consoles. These were specially custom made to connect to vehicle-specific ProClip dashboard mounts, giving superior viewing and easier access. Of course, you can always attach the ProClip holders to other flat surfaces. Below are the new products available for your perusal.
The Padded Holder with Tilt Swivel is custom made with a neat and discreet design. It tilts 15 degrees in any direction for optimal viewing. Your iPhone 3G S easily slides in and out of the holder.
The Padded Holder with Tilt Swivel and Charging/USB Cable has a cable permanently attached to the base so when your device is slid into the holder it connects to the cable. Then the cable can either be plugged into your car’s 12V power outlet or any female USB connection. You can easily slide your iPhone in and out of the holder. The Holder angles 15 degrees for optimal viewing.
The Holder with Tilt Swivel and Pass-Through Connector will make docking and undocking, your iPhone 3G S, easier and more convenient. Attach your stereo cable, charging cable or any other iPhone compatible cable, to the bottom of the holder, to create a docking station. Your iPhone 3G S is conveniently on the dash within easy reach and slides in and out of the holder with one hand. The holder is custom made with a neat and discreet design and tilts 15 degrees, in any direction, for optimal viewing.
The Adjustable Holder with Tilt Swivel and Pass-Through Connector has all the benefits of the above Holder with Tilt Swivel and Pass-Through Connector plus it is designed to accommodate your encased iPhone 3G S. This Adjustable Holder will adjust from a width of 2.3″ (60mm) to 3.2″ (82mm).
The ProClip Vehicle Mount provides the mounting platform to attach any of the ProClip holders. The ProClip Vehicle Mount is the only vehicle specific, consumer installable mounting bracket in today’s global market. The mount clips into the dashboard seams, providing a very sturdy and tight fit. Average installation time is 2 minutes. No dismantling of the dashboard is required and there is no damage to the vehicle’s interior!
Guess there is a little bit of something for everyone, unless you don’t own a vehicle, of course, then you’ll just need to stash your iPhone 3G S into your pocket while you get about on public transport.
With reading about concept designs, you never know what you’re going to get. Sometimes they’re fairly reasonable and then there are others that are just far fetched and ridiculous. Then there are those you just hope the technology is out there to make it possible, because it would make things far more simple. Which is where this design would fall into. It is a dock for your iPod, but it allows for other things to be stacked along with it, besides just ordinary speakers.
It seems with back to school creeping closer and closer, more companies are releasing new sets of speakers to go with students as they had into college. Just like several of the others that have been seen, these come in everything from black to the brightly colored. They also feature colors that match your iPod Nano. These keep things pretty small and minimal, so they could easily be tucked back at the corner of your desk or dresser. That makes them a nice addition for students stuck in a dorm this coming semester.
If you enjoy the bright coloration on your iPod Nano, then you might enjoy these tiny speaker docks. The colors go along with the ones featured on the Nano, so you can match them perfectly or just pick out complimenting colors instead. Then with your other normal iPods, you’d have an accessory around that does have color, even though the iPod doesn’t.
If you have a Nano, you likely have one of the brightly colored versions. If you do, you might want to check out iLive’s line of boom box docks. They feature bright colors to go along with the color of your Nano. Even if you don’t own a Nano, having one of these around will add a little color to your music ritual. Of course, this boom box might appeal more to the ladies than it does the guys, due to the unfortunate purse-like shape that these come in.
The iPod is truly a phenomenal device, and it has spawned hundred of accessories in the past to accommodate the iPod in various circumstances, even when underwater with a waterproof case and waterproof headphones. Well, this time round we have the Portable iPod Outdoor Speaker that is not only waterproof, it is also shock and dust resistant, making it suitable for outdoor parties by the pool or even in the harsh Arabian deserts. It plays nice with the iPod Classic, Nano, Mini and Shuffle series, stowing the iPod behind a clear, watertight door while offering controls through a set of exterior buttons. A quartet of C batteries power it, but you can also hook it up to an AC or car adapter if the need arises. Sounds like $99.50 well spent, this.
