Muji Wall-Mounted CD Player
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Portable Audio / Video,
The Muji Wall-Mounted CD Player is a combination of retro style and human power. The player is wall mounted and works by a pull-string, like Mattel’s See ‘N Say. Volume and playback control is on top and speakers are integrated into the main body. At a size of 6.9 x 1.6 x 6.9-inches and a weight of 1.2 lbs, the device comes in either black or white for a price of $178.00. A bit high, but think of the savings by not using batteries.

The CDP3.1 doesn’t come cheaply. Expect a price tag of over $3,000.00 for something that should sound better than it looks.

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, USB, Music, Portable Audio / Video,
LG is launching its PC12DAB iDock with built-in speakers. The gloss black device features red ambient lighting, an integrated slot loading CD player, DAB radio, and audio jack for the iPodless. It will also function as an alarm and can copy music for CDs with its USB port. Equalization controls feature, pop, classical, jazz and flat settings. Available sometime this month for £200 (~$394.00,) we think that a subtle blue would have been much more serene.

Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Music, Portable Audio / Video, Toys,
There are two types of people in this world: those who are drooling over the accompanying photo, and those who just aren’t.

Just remember that if you want to show Spidey off outdoors (and you know you do), he requires a whopping eight C batteries. Don’t worry, an AC adapter is included. Available for $50 USD.
