Zo Personal subwoofer promises 12-inch sub performance in an iPod nano-size package

Shane McGlaun, Apr 29th 2010 Discuss [1]

I think that most people who listen to music on their iPod, notebook, or netbook will agree that most devices lack seriously in the bass department. Notebooks and netbooks are often worse than the iPod and other MP3 players. Read The Full Story

Wi-Fi Sync gets speed demo, optionally disables iTunes backup [Video]

Chris Davies, Apr 28th 2010 Discuss [0]

After the positive reaction to the first demo video of Wi-Fi Sync - which promises to cut the cable between your iPhone, iPod or iPad and iTunes - app author Greg Hughes is back with a new video that demonstrates what sort of speed you can expect. Obviously synchronizing over WiFi is going to be slower than via USB, but as the video shows, transferring a few new music tracks isn't an especially arduous task.

Wi-Fi Sync cuts the iTunes cord [Video]

Chris Davies, Apr 26th 2010 Discuss [1]

We'd ask Steve Jobs what he thinks about Wi-Fi Sync - a new app that promises to cut the cord between iTunes and your iPhone/iPod/iPad with synchronizing over WiFi - and whether he'd approve it for the App Store, but we've a horrible feeling that the answer would be a short, sharp "nope". That's a shame, since it answers one of the most common criticisms of the platform. Video demo after the cut Read The Full Story

Shane McGlaun, Apr 8th 2010 Discuss [0]

I am not a big music person, so it took me a long time to jump on the digital music bandwagon. Those of you who were right there years ago when the iPod was booming in popularity may have been toting around a first gen iPod nano. Read The Full Story

The Daily Slash: March 29th 2010

Evan Selleck, Mar 29th 2010 Discuss [0]

Can you feel the anticipation for the end of the week? Despite the fact it's only Monday, there's definitely more than just a handful of people out there waiting for the weekend. Nevertheless, welcome to another edition of the Daily Slash, where we bring you the other interesting pieces of news you may have missed during the daily grind. In tonight's issue, we have a few iPad stories that boast ridiculous numbers, as well as a little bit of (figurative) gold goodness. We've managed to wrangle up a DIY story that's destined to make you want to get medieval on someone you know, and we've got bookends straight from a galaxy far, far away. And, to tie it all up, we've got the end of an era. Got that popcorn ready? Great. Let's do it. Read The Full Story

Spotify Adding United States to Future Subscribers in Third Quarter 2010

Evan Selleck, Mar 27th 2010 Discuss [0]

We wouldn't necessarily say that Spotify, a music streaming service in Europe with more than 7 million subscribers, has had a rough history. In fact, with 7 million subscribers and 325,000 of those being paid subscribers, we'd say the service is doing really well for itself. Of course, anyone who's been paying attention to the service's touch-and-go dialogue about coming to the States knows that it's been a long time coming. It doesn't help that it got approved for Apple's App Store, for use on the iPod Touch and iPhone, across the pond either. But, it looks like all of that is about to change. Read The Full Story

Kenwood AS-iP70 iPod speaker dock packs digital photo frame

Chris Davies, Mar 24th 2010 Discuss [0]

Kenwood might not be the first name you'd associate with iPod speaker docks, nor with digital photo frames, but their latest product ticks both boxes. The Kenwood AS-iP70 has a 7-inch WVGA LCD display and a pop-out iPod/iPhone dock; as well as listening to music and viewing photos and video from the Apple PMP on the display, owners can also load up photos from an SD card and view them instead.

DigiFi Digital Opera S5 Review

Chris Davies, Mar 19th 2010 Discuss [1]

Awareness of the Kleer wireless alternative to Bluetooth A2DP is slowly growing, and the market for entry-level headphones (as opposed to, say, Sleek Audio‘s range) is broadening. Into the fray comes DigiFi’s Digital Opera S5′s, intended specifically for iPod owners. Mediocre sound quality let DigiFi’s S2′s down; can the reworked S5′s pick up the slack?

iHome iP39SZC iPhone speaker dock and kitchen timer drops

Shane McGlaun, Mar 19th 2010 Discuss [0]

On more than one occasion I have found myself in the kitchen needing to cook more than one thing and having only one timer. I typically do what any average geek with an iPhone in their pocket would do and set up a timer there. If you often have a similar issue iHome has a cool new iPhone/iPod dock with a kitchen timer built-in. Read The Full Story

Gear4 SoundOrb Aurora Review

Chris Davies, Mar 18th 2010 Discuss [1]

If you want to stand out in the increasingly crowded iPod speaker-dock market, you need a gimmick. That might be superlative audio quality, extreme design or some other sort of novelty; in Gear4′s case, they’ve given the SoundOrb Aurora two claims to fame. Not only does it come with a wireless subwoofer, the sub actually lights up in a variety of different colors. So, enough to catch your attention, but does the Gear4 SoundOrb Aurora do enough to warrant a lasting place in your living room? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
