Philips FWP3200D DJ-Dock makes you the communal deadmau5
"Music," the wise Madonna once sang, "makes the people come together," and although it may look like the tail-end of a Pagani Zonda, the Philips FWP3200D DJ-Dock attempts to do just that. A combination speaker system and dual-deck docking station, the DJ-Dock takes two iPhones or iPods in its rotatable bays - which can be swiveled for either a user standing behind, or positioned for communal control at a party - and includes integrated lighting effects.

Pyle Audio PLTTB8UI Record Player Review
I’m going to go right ahead and assume that most of the people checking out this review are here because they’re confused about why SlashGear would review a vinyl record player. I think that’s fair to wonder. There are two reasons, the first of which is the fact that this record player not only has audio input via a convenient little smartphone dock. The second is this: I’ve still got a massive stack of records that I want to play, and I’m certain that there’s a massive population of readers out there that have their own, too – you don’t just throw those things away!

It’s a “Beats” World, We Just Listen To It
Did you see this product announced, back on March 5? I didn’t think so, but if you’ve been watching American Idol, you should have seen ads for Beat’s audio “Beatbox portable,” which is, “an AT&T exclusive.” I have been trying to wrap my head around the idea that a wireless carrier would want to procure exclusive distribution for a portable speaker, and then spend millions of dollars advertising it (a 30 second spot on American Idol costs approximately $500,000). Oh, and the price of the speaker itself? $399.
