Join Orb Music Player lets you stream audio wirelessly
The Orb Music Player has realized that people aren’t using their stereo anymore. After all, most people have their music on their iPods, smartphones, and computers. What am I going to play on my stereo, radio and CDs?
Fortunately, the Orb Music Player will allow the user to play their music library on their computer or smartphone. All it takes is a spare audio input on the stereo and a place to plug the Orb in. Set up takes a lot of time, but if I am singing your tune, and you want that old stereo to be singing your tunes, this could be your device.

iHome iDM15 Rechargeable Portable Bluetooth Speakers
I have to admit that I didn’t see the point of iHome’s iDM15 Rechargeable Portable Bluetooth Speakers at first. After all, there are bigger speakers that you can buy on the market, perhaps at a cheaper price.
I paired these speakers with my smartphone, and I found that the phone’s external speakers could not produce the sound of the iDM15 with its Music 3D sound enhancement. In other words, the iDM15 is just enough to give you that extra “umph” of sound that can’t be done by a laptop or phone.
The iDM15 are Bluetooth wireless with a rechargeable lithium ion battery. The user has the option of plugging in their phone or compatible device with a headphone jack and go wired. What really makes this product unique is that the user can take phone calls at the touch of a button with SoundClear Voice echo cancellation. Let’s see other external speakers, wired or wireless, do that!

Kodak Playfull video camera loves the water
What does a labrador retriever and the Kodak Playfull video camera have in common? Well, they both love the water, although I would say that the labrador is more waterproof in a sense since it can remain in there far longer than the Playfull. We won’t talk about dogs today, but rather, Kodak’s latest version of their video camera which is meant to immortalize your tender and precious moments in a digital format, regardless of how wet it is around you.
The Kodak Playfull video camera is not very large, but comfortably small enough so that it can find its way into to fit easily in a pocket or small purse. While you will not be able to capture precious moments in Full HD quality, at least it offers the bare minimum for today’s standard which is 720p quality videos, but it would have been nicer to see Full HD resolution supported instead in this day and age. Perhaps in the next version, Kodak?

ConvenientPower to introduce Qi tilted wireless charging platform
ConvenientPower lights up CEATEC 2011 in Japan with what they dub to be the world’s first Qi tilted wireless charging platform, which is extremely special in a sense since it boasts an in-use-while-charging design as well as functionality for Qi compliant smartphones.

PGA Tour Electronic Golf Scorecard
Even though you might be best buddies for many decades already, human relationships can be pretty fragile at times – and a game of golf might end up in fistcuffs when some cheating has been discovered, or in accounting circles, ‘creative adjustments’ in the scorecard. What better way to prevent a slip of the pencil than with modern technology? I guess this is where the £14.99 PGA Tour Electronic Golf Scorecard would definitely come in handy.
No longer do you need to remember to sharpen those pencils and remember to bring enough paper the next time you’re going to spend some time on the greens, all you need is the PGA Tour Electronic Golf Scorecard and you’re good to go. Just make sure there is enough juice remaining to keep it powered, where said device is able to score up to 4 players simultaneously. It clips on easily to your golf bag, and with a LCD display that makes it easy to tell the score at a glance, a sliding cover ensures it remains safe from any splashes, knocks and flying divots. Heck, it is smart enough to let you know the time and temperature as well.
SpyNet Laser Trip Wire
We’ve seen a couple of devices from the SpyNet range before, and obviously this one is more of a defensive alarm than anything else. The name of the $39.99 SpyNet Laser Trip Wire gives the game away, where this trip wire will let you re-enact scenes from various films that offer nail biting moments, including Catherine Zeta Jones’ fine derriere snaking herself through a maze of trip wires in the movie ‘Entrapment’. The SpyNet Laser Trip Wire set will compries of a quartet of devices to make up your very own defensive office security system, and no longer will people be able to “borrow” your stationery on a permanent basis.
Each Laser Unit sends out a class 1 laser, and when connected to the Receiver Unit which holds the alarm as well, a beam of light will be created. Should the light beam (or shall we say ‘laser’ for a more serious effect) be disturbed or crossed in any way, the alarm will go off.
IOGEAR Digital Card Reader/Writer is pink, for the cure
Considering that I have a laptop that is over five years old, I still have need of a memory card reader. My wife has a newer laptop, and the SD card reader is located right in front. I take it memory card readers are now a standard feature of laptops.
If you are in the need of a card reader, I would suggest this particular SD/MMC/MicroSD reader from IOGEAR. It has two memory card slots that support a variety of formats including T-Flash, MicroSD, MicroSDHC, MicroXC, SD, SDHC, MiniSD, MMC Plus, RS-MMC, and MMC Mobile. I realize that you can only see one card slot in the image, but rest assured, there is a smaller one underneath.
Not only that, this card reader is for a good cause. For every pink card reader sold between September 1, 2011 and August 31, 2012, IOGEAR is donating $1 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. If you are interested in hearing more about the Susan G. Komen organization, you should go here.

LG Optimus Slider to hit Virgin Mobile USA
If you’re one of the minority who subscribes to Virgin Mobile USA, then you might be interested to know that the carrier has yet another QWERTY keyboard smartphone that runs on the Android operating system coming your way – in the form of the LG Optimus Slider. Yes sir, this smartphone with a slide-out keyboard would make it perfect for those who absolutely loathe virtual keyboards even until today, simply because it is far easier to type with a physical keyboard, and the kind of tactile feedback that you receive makes it all the more satisfying.
It doesn’t matter if you are a heavy social networker or just have tons of emails and text messages to sift through each day – the LG Optimus Slider will make short work of any messages that you intend to write out. It will arrive Stateside from October 17th onwards for $199.99 a pop at online sources, while those who prefer brick-and-mortar stores can look forward to the handset in Best Buy and RadioShack on October 31st (hello, Halloween!), with Sprint and Target stores to follow in November.
