Can you believe that it's already (pretty much) the middle of July? It just feels like time's flying by, doesn't it? Guess that's what happens when you're having fun -- and we have plenty of that around here. That's why we're happy you can join us. So, welcome to tonight's edition of The Daily Slash. First up, in the Best of R3 Media, we've got 100,000 apps for the Android Market, and is an iPhone 4 recall coming soon? And then in the Dredge 'Net, it looks like Stanford is going digital, we've got some big speakers, and it looks like Destination Arcade is just a limited run. Read The Full Story

Evan Selleck, Jul 7th 2010 Discuss [1]

If you're someone who likes to run, whether for fun or exercise (or both), then you know that while headphones are currently the best way to take your music, or whatever it is your listen to, with you, there's always got to be options. And, thanks to this new concept, we can safely say that someone out there will probably be super excited about this. No, it's definitely not as light weight as, say, an MP3 player, or even as unobtrusive as headphones (like these were giving away, right now!), but this shoulder-pad looking device has its endearing features, too.

Polk Atrium Garden Speakers Are Expensive Ways to Listen to Music Outdoors

Evan Selleck, May 28th 2010 Discuss [0]

Polk's name is pretty much synonymous with home audio, and that probably has something to do with the fact that their equipment, while pretty high quality, also comes with a high price tag. Can't get away from it, we imagine. Either way, the company's got a new range of speakers for the outdoorsman in you (and we mean your backyard, for the record), and as you might imagine, they aren't cheap. Read The Full Story

Creative D100 and D200 Outed for Your Wireless Pleasure

Evan Selleck, Apr 20th 2010 Discuss [0]

There's something to be said about going wireless. It's a lifestyle we can't wait to embrace, and these speakers are going to help us get there. Well, they would be if we were in Singapore, that is. Creative have just pulled the curtain off their D100 and D200 wireless speakers, and we're hoping just as much as the company itself that they'll help "usher in a new era in pure music listening." We're not even sure what that means, exactly, but we're excited about it nonetheless. Read The Full Story
