Those of you that enjoy carrying your precious pets around with you in public, instead of letting them walk, will enjoy this bag. Especially if you’re a person that’s highly attached to your music. It’ll let your pooch jump up and down within the bag to your favorite song. If that’s not enough to make you carry the bag, it might help things along that the bag was given to last year’s Oscar attendees.
The Flip Down iPhone Dock Stereo allows for playing, charging and making phone calls as well.
Many car manufacturers have started to include USB plugs in their car stereo systems to accomodate connecting MP3 players. That’s a cool thing, but the driver still has to deal with the quandry of where to put the iPod? Check out this new car stereo system which not only lets users sync their iPods for playing iTunes, but also has a pull down iPod Dock to store and charge it at the same time. Very cool.
The Dual XML8110 Mechless Mobile Audio system looks like a standard car stereo system at first blush, with digital LED display and easy to use buttons. But flip down the face and it becomes a full fledged iPod/iPhone dock, completely with not only navigation and volume controls, but also the ability to make hands free phone calls at the touch of a button with an upcoming iPhone application.
The stereo also has built in FM Radio (what, no AM love? what up with that), equalizer presets and even an AUX IN for connecting other devices. And even though it doesn’t have a CD or cassette player built in – that’s really the point here. The XML8110 Mechless Mobile Audio system is moving forward, not backward and this stereo may be ideal for the wireless crowd. Only thing really missing is wireless iTunes purchase capability.
And the killer thing about it is it’s price point. Under $100!
Hat Tip – D’Vice
This next product must be for those who really want more control in their life. The SecureShot is a way for you to watch others, and it has an atomic clock.
I suppose you could call it a Nanny-cam, just like the one seen in Meet the Parents and The Nanny Diaries. Unlike the cameras put on stuffed animals, this one looks like an ordinary clock.
Assuming you think that an atomic clock is ordinary. Yes, this is one of those clocks that will always be accurate, and if the batteries run out, the clock will be back on time when they get replaced. Looks like it can also do the temperature as well.
Staying warm while listening to your music isn’t always the easiest thing. It is entirely possible to wear a hat over the top of your ear or headphones. However, it’s not exactly comfortable and in some cases it’s far from making you look good. Well if these beanies are more your style, you could get the best of both worlds. You’ll be plenty warm and still be able to comfortably listen to your favorite tunes.
Finding affordable gifts for someone who is more into technology than anything else can sometimes seem to be a trying task. Luckily though there are some retailers happy to sell off speakers to go with your precious iPod or iPhone. With this speaker it’ll play your music, while also giving a spot to rest your iPod and leave it on display. You could easily see and flip through music while it’s hooked up to the speaker.
Are you musically inclined? If so, how many gadgets out there are musical enough for you, or are you one who wants to have something very different apart from the standard piano and drum kit? Enter the Stylophone Beatbox which opens up a whole new world of percussion goodness.
The Stylophone Beatbox boasts three different sound modes: Drum Kit, Beatbox and Bass Stylophone. There’s also a scratch function that allows you to mix your sounds, record them and play them over your beats. You can even adjust pitch and tempo. Think of it as a portable beatbox with added irony. But what about those sounds? Prepare to be impressed because this bonkers doodah contains samples created by champion human beatboxer MC Zani. No, we haven’t heard of him either but we’re told he’s da boom and da lick. Or something like that.
Not only do you get to irritate those around you who do not appreciate sounds coming out from a beatbox performer, you can do so for a relatively low, low price of £19.99.
Griffin Technology, the company who created the first iPhone controlled hardware with the iTrip, has also made another version of this device with the iTrip Auto. Designed for both the iPod and iPhone, it uses SmartScan technology to transmit your playlist to your car stereo.
All the user has to do is plug in the iTrip Auto to their Apple device with the Apple connector, then start their music. The other end of the cable gets plugged into the car’s cigarette lighter, which will power the transmitter.
From there, it is as simple as hitting the “SmartScan” button which has the ability to find out what is the best frequency to use for the user’s iPod/iPhone. The only thing left to do is manually dial in the frequency on the car’s FM radio, then bam! You’ve got music.
If you’re ever in the situation where you need your speakers to play to a full room of people, something with a 360° design like this one could make things easier. It’s not the most powerful speaker out there, but if you need to use it for a quick presentation, it would be handy. You could also use it for music when you need something extra to listen to with a group of friends.
