ZAGG offers ZAGGsparq

When it comes to iPhone and iPod accessories, ZAGG is one name that many people are familiar with, especially with the popular invisibleSHIELD and ZAGGaudio brands, but this time round they are offering something slightly different. It won’t protect your iPhone or iPod against knocks, drops and scratches, but it does something which most gadget-toting folks would appreciate – by virtue of it being ZAGGsparq, a portable lithium polymer battery system that can provide multiple charges for any personal electronic device as long as they are powered by a USB plug.
As many frequent travelers can testify, you tend to run out of juice for your gadgets during the most inopportune of moments, especially when you just need to make that particular phone call only to have your phone die on you before the third ring is over.

The 6000ma lithium polymer cell found in each ZAGGsparq is able to be charged over 2,000 times before one experiences a significant drop-off in battery life, and by that virtue, the ZAGGsparq is one of the world’s most powerful portable battery – size-wise, at least. Assuming you juice it up once every three days, that ought to last you for around 6 years, where by then you probably won’t have any use for it anymore as you would have probably come across other more power-efficient solutions. You will be able to place your order for the ZAGGsparq for $129.99 a pop if you don’t happen to have the habit of charging your gadgets each night before you go to sleep.

AirStash Boosts iPhone Storage Wirelessly

Back when the classic iPod was released with 160GB of memory, it seemed as if the amount of memory on Apple devices could only get better and better.  Then the iPhone and iPod Touch came out and had a fraction of the memory.  Sure, they’re much prettier than the rest of the iPods released by Apple, but they’re lacking all of the storage space that we all know and love.  Well this AirStash is used to wirelessly give your iPhone and iPod Touch the memory boost it needs.
The details are the AirStash are a little limited as of now.  They’re just allowing a sliver of the information to leave you craving more on the device.  Particularly how much it will end up costing you.  It does promise to expand the storage of your device with a wireless memory card that takes swappable SD cards.  All of this can hook up to your computer through the USB port.  I imagine that details will start trickling out later this week.

Mophie to offer iPhone credit card reader

When the iPhone was first released a few years ago, the whole world was abuzz with anticipation on how Apple would be able to an above-average cellphone experience to the masses, and I must admit, we weren’t disappointed. Heck, expectations were so high that folks even queued up outside the store for a couple of days before its release, willing to fork out a whopping $599 outright for the handset (and that is even before one takes into consideration the monthly fees). Well, the iPhone has certainly come a long way since its release with incremental upgrades and updates introduced along the way, and it seems as though this smartphone is able to do just about anything (save for stemming pollution around the world). Today, we bring you news of another new function introduced to the iPhone thanks to Mophie – with their iPhone credit card reader.
Mophie, the popular iPhone and iPod accessory and battery add-on maker, will use CES 2010 as the platform to introduce their iPhone credit card reader and third-party app, marking the accessory manufacturer’s first attempt to break into the lucrative mobile payment systems market. The accessory has been unimaginatively dubbed as the “Credit Card Reader”, where each purchase will be accompanied by a complimentary third party processing application which enables one to turn the iPhone into a functional device that accepts credit payments simply by swiping one’s credit card through a special casing attached that is connected to their handset.
There are still a great many details concerning this new mobile payment system by Mophie that have yet to be unveiled, and industry analysts are pretty sure that the device’s success will depend largely on the design and bulk of the iPhone add-on alongsde a price point that is hoped to be customer friendly. Make no mistake, this device isn’t about to start a monopoly in such a segment since it will go up head-to-head against Square. The Mophie Credit Card Reader will be packaged as an iPhone-only shell case which is similar to their Juice Pack Air battery pack for iPhone.

iVictrola iPhone and iPod Touch Amplifier

If you prefer new technology that looks much older than it actually is, then this device would be great to have lying around.  It looks like more of an antique than an even remotely new gadget.  Yet it will happily play your iPod all day long and without using a single battery.  Not only that, but you won’t be forced to plug this into the wall either.  Making this an extremely convenient gadget.
It seems almost impossible for there to be no batteries, nor the need for it to be plugged in.  Not to mention that this doesn’t use a solar panel or anything else along those lines.  Instead it uses an entirely acoustic amplification.  The horn is made from metal, which actually maximizes that amplification.  The base itself is hand-carved from walnut, that walnut is pulled from remnants of high-end furniture.  Unfortunately, this device is fairly expensive, it’ll cost you $400.

iXtreme Amplified Speaker

The iPod (or any other MP3/portable media player for that matter) is great if you’re one who loves keeping yourself entertained whenever you wait for the next bus or train or even across a trans-Atlantic journey, but will it be of use when you host a party? Well, there are iPod speaker docks for those, but there is also another solution in the form of the iXtreme Amplified Speaker.

No speaker on the market packs such a powerful punch. Operatingthe same way as a quality subwoofer, a secret resonating chamber amplifies the speaker output through a patented expander tunnel. Deep bass and rich sound fill the room. Who knew such a rich sound could be produced from such a tiny device. Built-in rechargeable Lithium ion batteries allows you to play music louder and for longer than when using a speaker that pulls power from your player. This party is getting started.

Makes us wonder just how far your $29.95 will bring you audio-wise with the iXtreme Amplified Speaker. I must say, I do have my reservations about its capability of pumping out room shaking sound.

Boombox iPod Dock Speaker

Review on the latest all gadgets , PC or computer hardwares, notebooks, netbooks, accessories, gadgets, mobile phones and video game consoles on the market
If you can’t swing the big iPod boombox, at least you can have this tiny one. It’ll allow for you to play your music through a classic boombox, but you won’t have to break the bank to buy it. Of course you’ll look really silly trying to perch this on your shoulder, so you might just want to leave this one on the tabletop. At least you’ll get to combine your new technology with a true classic.The dock features double speakers and is supposed to offer a rich sound. It’s compatible with most iPods and even will work great with the iPhone. The device can only be wiped clean, for obvious reasons. They don’t state how the dock receives its power, whether it’s by batteries or if it’s USB powered. I would hope it’s USB powered, but you never know. You can purchase it for $18.

iPod Desktop Speaker makes for an affordable gift

Review on the latest all gadgets , PC or computer hardwares, notebooks, netbooks, accessories, gadgets, mobile phones and video game consoles on the market
Finding affordable gifts for someone who is more into technology than anything else can sometimes seem to be a trying task. Luckily though there are some retailers happy to sell off speakers to go with your precious iPod or iPhone. With this speaker it’ll play your music, while also giving a spot to rest your iPod and leave it on display. You could easily see and flip through

music while it’s hooked up to the speaker.

It’s not really something you carry everywhere with you. It would be nice to have sitting on a desk of some kind though. For students with cramped living conditions it would work out great. The device is meant for the iPhone or any of the iPods besides the Shuffle. It will hook up to any MP3 player though. In order to keep it running, it requires 4 AAA batteries. You can purchase the speaker in both red and black for $9.99 a piece through The Container Store.

Wiimote turned into MP3 player

The Wiimote is one versatile piece of plastic, as an enterprising brain decided to pick its innards and replace it with the presence of an iPod Shuffle inside. Heck, even the case has been modified a bit to accommodate a pair of headphones, with the Shuffle residing comfortably within the confines of where the AA batteries are supposed to be. Definitely adding a whole lot more bulk to what was once an extremely portable MP3 player, this Wiimote hack will surely attract attention wherever you go.

Altec Lansing’s Expressionist Ultra and the MIX

I got a chance to see what Altec Lansing was up to at CES last January, and its nice to see that they are still innovative with two new products: the Expressionist Ultra and the MIX.

The Expressionist Ultra is the set of speakers that you see to the left. As you can see, they have a very unique shape and transparent trapezoidal frame for a look that should compliment any desk. The speakers have a 200 watt powerhouse with a 3 inch midrange driver and 1 inch neodymium tweeter. The Expressionist Ultra also has fingertip controls, Audio Alignment technology, a headphone jack, and connects with AUX in jack and RCA adapter.

The MIX, seen to the immediate left, is a combination of iPod dock and 80’s style boombox. It is perfect for DJs-in-training as it has three music player inputs, a 30 pin dock connector for the iPhone and iPod, as well as two front-facing 3.5mm jacks. It plays for 30 hours on 8 D-cell batteries and has Audio Alignment, a Digital FM radio, and Dual AUX IN jacks for two additional audio players via front-facing 3.5mm jacks.

Speaker Bags Play Music from your iPod

I don’t know if Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are friends anymore, but if they ever do get together and hit Rodeo Drive, I highly recommend they tote around the speaker bags.

Yes, these speaker bags don’t just look like speakers, but they are speakers for iPods, and I would imagine iPhones. It brings out about 30 watts worth of power, which is enough to disturb the salespeople and other customers as the rich girls throw high-priced items into the bag itself.

Of course, I don’t know how much the bag can hold with the dock inside, but hey, it’s all about style, isn’t it? I do know that the dimensions are 46 x 12 x 11 centimeters. Now if only they would make this in pink. Rich heiress girls from Beverly Hills would be all over this. “Yeah, we love shopping

with the speaker bag”.

iHat

Yes, there are a lot of iPod or other MP3 speakers out there, and most of them begin with “i”. I suppose what makes the iHat unique is the fact that it is seasonal.

Seasonal, meaning made for the winter season. It’s getting colder where I am living, and I could use a hat to keep warm. If the hat happens to have a speaker in each ear, then more power to it. Now if it was made to be wireless, I guarantee that every skier would want to wear one of these.

iPod nano updated

So the yearly cycle continues, with yet another iPod being updated this time round. Apple’s event at San Francisco saw the appearance of Steve Jobs to the masses, and it goes without saying the man had a hand in unveiling the latest iPod nano to the crowds, now in its fifth iteration. What makes the iPod nano so special this time round? Well, Apple has decided to throw in a video camera, a microphone and a speaker to what is already deemed as the most popular portable media player in the world, allowing music aficionados to shoot short video clips (limited by its memory, of course) regardless of where they are. These video clips can then be viewed over the computer after performing a quick and painless transfer, and further uploaded onto YouTube if you’re so inclined.

Apple releases new iPod touch

Just like the new generation of iPod nano was announced earlier this morning, so do we have news of a new iPod touch as well, pushing the device into the third generation. One thing that would disappoint most people about this would be the lack of a built-in digital camera after being hyped up about it through various rumors and fan sites over the past weeks and months, but guess there is always the anticipation of seeing said integrated digital camera make an appearance sometime in the future with the fourth iteration of the iPod touch. What’s cooking with this generation of iPod touch? We’ll take a closer look at it right after the jump.

iPod shuffle gets price reduction

Just to keep up with the current bleak times, Apple understands that you need to stretch your wallet even further, and hence has slashed the price of its iPod shuffle to just $49 for its new 2GB model, while the 4GB model will retail for $79 a pop. Available in five brilliant colors – silver, black, pink, blue and green, the iPod shuffle won’t sport anything new, still maintaining its intuitive controls that are conveniently located on the headphone cord alongside the VoiceOver feature that allows your shuffle to speak out song titles, artists and playlist names, making the still-missing display a non-issue.

The folks at iFixit decided to get their hands dirty by performing an autopsy of sorts on a new 3rd generation iPod touch, and their findings have been surprising to say the least.

The Sharper Image Clock Radio is iPod/iPhone dock

I had a clock radio that was beside my bed all throughout the eighties, and this new Sharper Image Clock Radio dock for the iPod and iPhone reminds me of it.

I believe that part of Sharper Image’s re-launch is to make electronic products that are not only neat looking, but practical. And what could be more practical for life in the new millennium than an dock for the iPod or iPhone? Especially one that can double as an alarm clock.

With this Sharper Image Clock Radio, the user can wake up to the radio or some custom playlist, or just the usual beep tone. It also features a dual alarm and an auto off timer and nap feature that you can set 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes.
