Welcome to Brand New Technology Update. We are a UK Gadget and Technology Blog. Great stuff for all you Gizmo Gadgeteers.
Ever been out for a cycle on a Sunday morning and realise that your Bike is missing its very own Jukebox? No, neither have i, but, it does sound pretty cool huh? iPod dedicated company, iHome on the other hand HAVE thought about it and have seen the idea through with their iH85B Speaker or "Bike to Beach Bicycle Speaker for iPod" as it's dubbed.
The speaker case is water resistant and is clamped onto your bike just like a water bottle. The remote control is mounted to your handle bars so you can easily change tunes while cycling! The speaker can also be used at home and comes with an AC adaptor and will charge your iPod while it is connected.
So its an "iPod Home Dock" and a new type of Dock, the err... "iPod Bike Dock".
With the on the go music world controlled by the iPod nowadays there can just never be enough accessories to go along with the worlds favourite MP3 players. Here is one of my very favourites. If that little player doesn't ever leave your side and has replaced the dog as "man's best friend" then this is the perfect accessory for you!
Whether its down the beach, at the swimming pool, singing in the shower or diving with the rubber ducky in the tub, these Waterproof Speakers will keep the tunes playing no matter what waves hit them. You may even replace ducky in the bath tub with them. Throw them in the bath and let them float about while you chill to the sounds it spills out. The speakers are inside a case in which you also put your iPod. You can control your iPod from the outside of the case with the rubber membrane that works the wheel on your iPod.
Top gadget for bathroom antics! These Waterproof iPod Speakers are available at Firebox.
With summer approaching fast, the urge to make a right mess of a barbecue while getting seriously sloshed in the back garden is beginning to get too great. Now for a proper summer shindig we all know that you need to have a decent player that will blast out those beats right? and the ghetto blaster that drunk Uncle Dave keeps standing on sending out the tunes from the kitchen just isn't enough! No fear, this year you can be the saviour of the garden binge with this Wireless Outdoor Solar Powered Speaker!
No batteries, no cable extensions, no problems! The solar panel will keep it charged using nothing but the ray's of the sun and no there isn't a catch and no, setting it up wont send the blood pressure through the roof!
Here is a simple 3 step guide as to how it is set up:
1) Plug the mains transmitter into the wall.
2) Plug your MP3 Player/Stereo/PC into the mains transmitter.
3) Take the speaker outside, plant it in with the roses or the strawb's out of Uncle Dave's way, then press ON.
Now if you are thinking, "Great!, now i can organise my very own music festival in the back garden!" then you would be wrong. The 5W power it pumps out is not really enough to create your own rave cave but is perfect for a burnt barbecue on a sunny Sunday! This great gadget is available from Firebox and should definitely be near the top on your summer gadgets shopping list.
