Moderna Docks With Class
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Music, Portable Audio / Video,
We were wrong. We found two docking stations this week. Take a look at the Phiaton’s Moderna Series MS600 with a D class amp and bass reflex structure. It has a max input of 60W and comes with remote and AC/DC adaptor. At a size of 340 x 180 x 120 mm and a weight of 5.3 lb., it does have a certain stylishness, especially if your MP3 player matches. Contact Phiaton for price and availability in your area.

iPod Speaker Recycles its Container
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, Apple, Music, Portable Audio / Video,
We found this to be a interesting alternative to the endless toys for the iPod. Bird-Electron has a EZ 17-B Recycling Speaker for 1st and 2nd gen. nanos and 2nd and 3rd gen. shuffles. The dimensions of the speaker is the same as the box that your player came in. Simply plug and play, with no power source needed. You can also customize it by using another small container. At a size of 53 x 103 x D2 mm, it weighs only 35 g and carries a price of $39.95.

I-Jerry Makes Music Sitting Down
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, Design, Misc. Tech, Music, Portable Audio / Video,
Made by I-Mu, I-Jerry is a rodent-like MP3 Player with 1 GB memory. Control him by the ear, and get ready for his bottom which, when placed on a surface, turns it into a speaker. The company also features an i-Pig, an i-Bird, and a basic design that does the same thing, but we have to admit we are partial to the mouse. Visit the i-Mu site and find out there is more to music than sound, it’s a philosophy. Expect an arrival later this year at a $99.00 price.

Wake to a World of Music with Quattro’s WiFi Alarm Radio
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Home Entertainment, Smart Home, Internet, Music, PC / Laptop, Portable Audio / Video, Wireless / WiFi,
If you’re familiar with the wide world of internet radio, you know it’s filled with thousands of stations from all over the world, and can be accessed by devices such as this one from Acoustic Energy. Well now you can wake up to one of these stations, courtesy of the Tangent Quattro WiFi Alarm Radio. It’s a retro-looking device that links up to your wireless network—and accesses over 6000 internet radio stations around the globe. In other words, you don’t need a computer and there’s no fees involved! Arise to Bhangra beats one day, Brazilian samba the next (and yes, there’s a snooze alarm). Plus, the Quattro can wirelessly stream music stored in your computer and you can even attach your MP3 player and use it as a speaker! Love it! Available in various colors for $250 USD, although for some reason “High Gloss White” is $50 more.

Your Speaker is Watching You
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, Misc. Tech, Music, Portable Audio / Video,
We have found another entry under the classification “speakers that are unique, but not really.” The I Look Eyeball includes an amplifier speaker system that will work with your MP3 player or other music source. The “expressive” eye moves to the beat of your tunes with a gazillion colors and it will react to a hand clap. It comes with an audio stereo jack and runs on 3 x AAA batteries (not included.) Find the I Look for £14.94 (~$.31.00.)

Slide Your iPod into the i50
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, Apple, Music, Portable Audio / Video,
Creative TravelSound has come up with the i50 docking speaker for second generation iPod shuffles. It features four microdrivers and a digital amplifier, and offers 21 hours of play on each charge by USB. We like the look of this brushed metal slot-in docker, as it seems that PMP accessories seem to getting larger all the time, which to us almost deletes the purpose of portability. With the i50, you can slide it into someone’s Christmas stocking for ~£35 (~$72.00) without anyone being the wiser.

The Vero ENB-100 allows for hands-free, Bluetooth communication within 30 feet of your cell phone. The solar powered car kit has voice recognition and will call by one word, even if your phone has dropped under the passenger seat. Three LEDs let you know the status of a call, and battery and solar recharging.
