iBox: Sturdy Wooden iPod Speaker

Thodio iBox Wooden iPod Speaker

Thodio sure isn’t the first company to try the wooden approach to iPod accessories, but despite its boring name there’s something about the iBox that intrigues me.

This solid, handcrafted iPod amp features a wooden, high gloss lacquered cabinet. The basic models are built in either oak, teak or mahogany but other woods can be used on request. The battery is rechargable and lasts for about 15 hours and the whole thing offers 2 x 25 watts output power.

LG Shining Stone UP3 S2 MP3 Player

LG UP3 S2 “Shining Stone” MP3 Player

Here’s “Shining Stone” UP3 S2, LG Electronic’s brand new MP3 player with a jewelry concept design. It’s all metal and available in 1-, 2- and 4GB models and in five jewel-influenced colors (black diamond, crystal silver, ruby red, pink topaz and sapphire blue).

Among the features we find MP3/WMA/OGG/ASF/FM-radio playback as well as voice- and FM-radio recording but although it does feature a 65,000 color OLED display it doesn’t do videos or images. File managing and battery charging are easily done by USB 2.0 though.

iPod-resembling Kitchen Timer

Is it just me or does the Triple Timer kitchen timer resemble a certain MP3 player? Well, I can imagine two reasons to get this $20 timer:

1) You want people to think you’ve actually bought a second iPod just to keep track of your cooking times.
2) You’re the kind of guy who likes to give fake gifts to your nephew, just to watch him cry when he realizes that he’s been fooled. Again.

Anway, if you want one you better get it before Apple’s lawyers spot it. Even though the scroll-wheel is becoming somewhat obsolete these days they eat companies that produces stuff like this for breakfast.

Xtreme Mac iPod Micromemo

Xtreme Mac’s MicroMemo turns any iPod Classic+2nd/3rd gen Nano or Video into a portable audio recorder. Just plug in the detachable microphone and hit a button to record audio content directly to your iPod.

The main focus is on voice memos (meetings, interviews, random deep thoughts etc) but it seems to work well with other sources as well since you can hook up anything you like using the 3.5mm jack.

The recording time is displayed on the iPod screen in real-time and it’s available in both white and black.

Buy a Pink Zune, fight breastcancer

To help fight breastcancer Microsoft and Ford offers a Warriors in Pink Special Edition 30GB Zune of which 100% of the purchase price goes to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. That’s right, all of it.

$250 is still more expensive than a regular Zune, but considering the cause it’s quite impressive.

(If you’re more into Apple and iPods there’s always the red special edition models where a portion of the purchase price goes to help fight AIDS in Africa)

Audi Mobile Device

Porsche and Hummer has their own cell phones, so why not Audi? Here’s the Audi Mobile Device, presented as part of the future A1 model (Metroproject Quattro).

This Wi-Fi and touch-screen enabled device docks nicely in your vehicle and functions not only as a 3G UMTS cell phone but also as a navigation unit, audio/video player, remote control and authorization system for your car. Cold day outside? Why not connect to your car while having your morning coffee in the kitchen and tell it to turn on the heating system and it’ll be nice and toasty for you when its time to go.

Video of the Zune 2 interface

Here’s a video of Microsoft’s new Zune 2 in action and I must admit that the touch/click-combo interface is pretty impressing. Not a touchscreen, but in return your display stays nice and clean.
