Is it An Alarm Clock? An iPod Speaker System? Or What?

Well, maybe it’s just both. The Logitech Pure-Fi Dream system, at $250, provides both (one assumes) decent sound–according to Logitech, "premium bedroom audio system" sound–via .75 inch tweeters and 3 inch woofers, and a fairly advanced (?) alarm clock. Along with the pedestrian specs of dual alarms, it does provide motion-sensitive controls to avoid the [...]

Winnie the Pooh May Be Your Next DJ - Aigo MV5910 PMP

If you have a tyke that’s just got it goin’ on for Winnie the Pooh, the the Aigo MV5910 PMP may be just the ticket. As you can see, it sports the Disney logo (which of course added some to the cost) and the controller is all Winnie (which also added some to the cost). [...]

Macally Believes We Can’t Have Enough iPod Speakers

Macally has introduced its TunePro iPod speaker system, perhaps because the hundreds of thousands of them out there aren’t quite enough. Okay, so, I’m just kidding, competition’s a good thing. Seems like Macally’s put together a decent unit, as well, with NXT flat panel technology, immersive audio with SRS WOW processing, and the ability to [...]

UWB Wireless Dock for R400 - Nice, Toshiba!

I’ve hanckered for a Toshiba R400 since it was released. It’s a nifty Tablet PC that’s also quite more attractive than my lowly M400. And now, Toshiba has to go and release an ultra-wideband docking station, complete with USB ports, audio out, Ethernet, and DVI. It’s a bit pricey at $500, but it makes me [...]

Onkyo Integra-8.8 Connects Entire World Together - Literally

I think a person would have to choose the Onkyo Integra DTX-8.8 as their audio and video receiver. What other device could possible connect so many different devices without reaching critical mass? And, note that I’m assuming this baby doesn’t reach critical mass, an assumption for which I have no independent evidence.
There’s not much [...]
