Join SPAR Zephyr 300 Bluetooth Speaker
This tiny black box is the SPAR Zephyr 300 Bluetooth speakerphone, and it is designed to be a wireless speaker that is about the size (but not thickness of) a smartphone.
So if you are looking for a way to take the music off a Bluetooth compatible device and make it more…public, then this is one way. Just put a thick rectangle in both pockets.
Yes, Bluetooth speakers are a dime a dozen. I mean that their numbers are big and there are a lot of them, not that they are cheap. What makes the Zephyr 300 different is that it can also serve as a USB charger. Now you can be listening to tunes without headphones while your cellphone is charging.

Optrix HD Sport Mount transforms iPhone and iPod touch into action sports camera
I guess it goes without saying that a device like the iPhone 4, iPhone 4S and iPod touch are extremely beautiful to look at, boasting all of the industrial design genius that hails from Cupertino, where it will also naturally come at a price – such gizmos are more often than not fragile. Well, the thought of using one of the three mentioned devices from Apple as an action sports camera is certainly a daunting one, as Gorilla Glass won’t do much if you happen to suffer from a fall and said Apple device kisses the ground – hard.
Well, here is a tool that will be able to help you out – the Optrix HD Sport Mount which is touted to be the first weatherproof rugged case which was specially designed to transform the iPhone 4, 4S and iPod touch into an action sports camera. The iPhone 4S would be the most optimal device among the three, considering it comes with 1080p HD and image stabilizing capabilities, giving you the opportunity to capture great looking video in most of the environments, ranging from extreme racing to perhaps a far more relaxing day by the poolside.

Mini Rechargeable USB Turntable
I know, most of the modern kids don’t even know what a turntable is these days, and chances are they have no idea on how a cassette player works, either, let alone see one in action. Most homes have already moved on with the times, relying on MP3 players with CD players being possibly the “oldest” audio playback relic. Well, here is a fusion of the past and present – the $99.99 Mini Rechargeable USB Turntable that is as cute as a button.
When you first look at it, this particular turntable does seem to represent a black briefcase, but pop open the latch, and you will find a high-quality belt-driven turntable inside. Heck, it even boasts built-in speakers that will allow you to enjoy your favorite records wherever you are, and if you need to preserve some of that old school music on your iPod in the MP3 format, the Mini Rechargeable USB Turntable does this, as well. Playing all 3 speeds at 33 1/3, 45 and 78 RPM, it will be able to handle 7″, 10″ & 12″ records.
Megaphone horn speaker for the iPhone
Some of you might remember when we went hands-on with the iHorn, a stand/speaker that essentially uses no electricity, but relies on natural acoustics for louder sound.
Think of it like the big horn on those old gramophones. We all know that the iPhone speaker is pretty diminutive, so we could use a little amplifier that works like one of those giant Bavarian horns on the mountaintops.
Yes, this is definitely an energy-saver, and here is another illustration: one of those gigantic cones that cheerleaders yell into. I don’t have any stats on how high the volume goes to, but in comparison to the iPhone speaker, think of it as turning it up to…I don’t know, fifteen?

Big Blue Audio offers Big Blue and Big Blue Live Wireless Speakers
Now, don’t get mixed up with the naming convention here – Big Blue Audio here has nothing to do with IBM, as the latter’s nickname clearly does not deal with any kind of audio products for your living room or organization. No sir, Big Blue Audio is an audio company instead (no kidding, Sherlock, just look at the name itself), where it has just put up on offer a couple of its audio devices to tempt you to part with your hard earned money – the Big Blue as well as Big Blue Live Wireless Speakers.
Both kinds of speakers will come with their signature Power. Pair. Play. interface, and will sport a stylish design that is certainly not lagging behind the times. Relying on the magic and wonders of Bluetooth connectivity, both pair of speakers have the ability to virtually fill any room with crystal-clear sound sans wires from any Bluetooth-enabled device, be it your iOS or Android powered smartphone, MP3 player, portable media player, tablet device or notebook.

House of Marley’s latest collection is eco-friendly
I don’t know about you, but many dead celebrities and their estate make a whole lot more money to still live like a king assuming they were still alive, and it does pique my interest when it comes to marketing the dead. The House of Marley is obviously referring to the late Bob Marley, and they intend to deliver their message of peace, love, and unity to Ski Dazzle 2011: The Los Angeles Ski Show and Snowboard Expo, which ends on December 4th.
The House of Marley will deliver the MARLEY Satisfy Your Soul Tour to Ski Dazzle in order to showcase its full range of eco-friendly MARLEY audio gear, where among them will include a sneak preview of spanking new docking stations and speakers. This will happen at the Los Angeles Convention Center, so if you are interested and are in the vicinity during that time, why not drop by?

The Doctor’s Nano-Recorder
You know how it is like when you want to remember something – instead of writing it down on a notepad with a pen or pencil, you can do so with a voice recorder. It surely is far more beneficial since it can be proof in the court of law that the person actually said so, not to mention you get to relive the moment aurally since every single intonation and word is recorded for all posterity. Well, the $29.99 The Doctor’s Nano-Recorder might be something that you would want to look into if you are a huge Dr. Who fan.
It definitely is not a professional device, it can record and play back messages of up to 10 seconds in length – so surely this is not something that you would want to bring into a lecture theatre, but at least you know it can be the perfect accessory for a River Song costume. Seems to be more of a costume accessory in terms of aesthetics than to be a constant companion for those suffering from memory lapses.
iPhone gets built-in bottle opener in Opena Case
There are iPhone cases, and then there are iPhone cases – case in point (pardon the pun), the Opena Case that will work with not only the iPhone 4, but the more recent iPhone 4S as well. What makes the Opena Case different from all the other cases that you have seen in the past? For starters, it will not come with “luggage” such as corny drawings as well as Swarovski crystals, but rather, will feature a slide out bottle opener made out of stainless steel to add that bit of “Ooomph!”. Fitting both GSM and CDMA devices from Apple, the cool factor is definitely something worth looking into. The asking price? AUD$39, and increase that figure to AUD$44 if you want to have it shipped internationally if you live outside of the US, Canada and Australia.
