ANYCOM Introduces FIPO to Bridge Bluetooth Technology and Apple iPod

Liaw Kim Poh, Jan 24th 2007 Discuss [0]

FIPO enables the use of a mobile phone to listen to music, in one of the most popular places, the car. The device uses Bluetooth technology and streams audio to the car stereo system. To use, simply plug FIPO into the connector designated for an Apple iPod, and it will begin its search for paired devices. After auto-pairing, the devices will have exchanged control commands, like play, pause and next. This allows the user to control the mobile phone in the same way they would control the iPod while in the car; through buttons on the steering wheel or car stereo. iPod hi-fi systems or speaker systems dock specifically with the iPod and stream tunes to wherever it is in use. Now, instead of an iPod the FIPO can be plugged into those speaker systems and receive audio streams from any Bluetooth device. Mass production of this product in the United States and Europe will begin February 15, 2007 and will be available for an MSRP of $99.00.

Recently many mods have been made with the Wii controller including the ability to play Half-Life on a Mac with the controller (a double mod, because you also need another mod to run Half-Life on Mac), and talks of a 'Wiibrator'.

The Groovy Banana Rocking Couch

Liaw Kim Poh, Aug 3rd 2006 Discuss [1]

What a sweet design – mashing up a rocking chair, bookcase and couch. The odd looking Groovy Banana seems comfortable and yet very practical. The shape allows for smooth rocking while you enjoy your favorite book, and when you’re done reading simply stick it into the built-in space at the bottom. There’s enough room to store a light blanket in case it’s chilly. This convenient design should eliminate the need for a bookcase or having a stack of books around. UMAMY Design Group [via BornRich]
