If we said that there was a market for iPhone and iPod products, we know it’d be the understatement of the century. And while there’s all sorts of different models out there, sometimes it’s better to just get back to the basics, and shell out some speakers that look like, well, speakers. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to make them pretty cool, too. Pioneer has gone ahead and outed their new line of bookshelf speakers, which have actually been in Europe for about a week now.
We can blame cases for tipping off the iPod nano 5G’s camera, and now that Apple have made the PMP official the accessory manufacturers can go to town. Scosche are one of the first with the kickBACK n5, a nifty polycarbonate shell with rubber edges and a flip-out kick-stand for enjoying tiny videos on the nano 5G’s 2.2-inch display.
There’s still some way to go before we can recharge our gadgets while they’re still in our pockets, but if the thought of plugging in your iPhone pains you then Duracell’s Smart Power system may go some way in helping. Based on a conductive charging pad which demands only that you sit a gadget on top in order to rejuice it, Duracell claim it’s a new stab at freedom from the regular grid; SlashGear cleared some desk-space to find out whether that was true.

We burn the midnight oil here. And why do we do it? So we can bring you late-breaking news, regarding the latest and greatest releases from companies like Brother. We've got several new printers lined up, most of which are slotted for some small business use. Perfect for those who need to get a quick print job out of the way.
We’re waiting to see a toaster with an iPod dock at this point. Sony has unveiled a brand new set of PC speakers today, ones that the company believe are capable of “blowing all other PC speakers off the stage.” Bold words, but that’s what we’ve come to love about Sony over the years. They always have bold words. And they want bold people, with bold wallets, to go ahead and step on forward to take a peek at these new speakers, which have garnered a very auspicious title: muteki.

The X2 just got its official debut, did you see it? You should. And, once you're done over there, head back on over to this piece right here, and take a look at another offering from Sony Ericsson. It's called the Aino, and we've taken a look at it before, but this time around we've got a piece of information that might peak the Sony fanboy's interest. Especially if you haven't conslidated enough quite yet.
Truth be told, 19″ monitors seem to be an ancient past-time, only talked about in hushed whispers, amongst technophiles joking about their parent’s sloppy PC setup. Sure, there’s a niche for the smaller screen sizes, and it looks like NEC wants to slide right into that spot. They’ve got a new LCD monitor set to hit shelves some times this month, and it’s got some pretty interesting aspects to it that might grab the attention of any working professional out there.

Universal remotes are still all the rage, right? Well, SMK-Link is either hoping that's still the case, or that there's still someone out there who hasn't consolidated all of their home entertainment remotes down into one, fancy-looking device. Of course, there's always the little fact that this remote, the Blu-Link, actually controls your PlayStation 3, too. And, according to SMK-Link, they're the first company to do it, while also including other home entertainment devices.
Samsung has announced today the launch of a brand new Personal Music Player (PMP), one that they are boasting is the slimmest and lightest on the market. Sure, that might not be the greatest thing to preach, especially considering usability and interface are paramount when utilizing any kind of personal media, but at least they have something. It’s not too bad to look at either, especially if you’re a fan of gingerbread cookie men. No, seriously.
Parrot have announced their latest head-unit, the iPhone-compatible RKi8400, which eschews a dull old CD player for Bluetooth A2DP streaming, an SD card slot, iPod/iPhone connectivity, USB PMP support and standard line-in ports. It also works as a Bluetooth hands-free kit, with the Parrot RKi8400 having a 2.4-inch color LCD display text-to-speech support and a 7-band equalizer.
