, Jan 19th 2011 Discuss [2]

I would bet that most smartphone users have music apps or digital tracks on their devices today that they take with them wherever they go. You can listen to those tunes privately with headphones if you want, but those headphones are useless if you want to listen to those tunes so other people can hear too. A new portable speaker called the Spider Pocket Speaker E500 has launched that will let you share those tunes on the go. Read The Full Story

Armour Home Announces “Q2,” The World’s Easiest to Use Internet Radio

, Nov 4th 2010 Discuss [0]

This radio consists of a 10cm cube made of nothing but cuteness. Armour acts on the idea that although they've got thousands of choices on the daily, listeners of internet radio regularly only listen to 2 or 3. Because of this, the Q2 cube allows users to select from their favorite four stations at any one time, programming them in when they turn their Q2 on for the first time by plugging them into a Mac or PC machine. After that, there's no need to ever go back to any more difficulty in using the cube other than charging up the battery. Read The Full Story

In a world near-saturated with iPod docks, JBL still managed to carve a niche with their diminutive On Stage Micro. The battery-powered portable speaker system is now around three years old, and JBL have updated it in the shape of the On Stage Micro II. Fresh to the spec sheet is iPhone compatibility but, more importantly perhaps, JBL reckon they’ve worked wonders on the audio quality too.
