iPod 501

iPod mania has reached a new height. Levi's has joined the fashion fray with the announcement of the RedWire DLX that will give tech geeks a whole new reason to trade in their khakis for denims. Goodies include an "invisible" docking cradle, a wire retractor for those knotty earphone wires and, listen to this, a joystick remote located on the watch pocket. Man, this pair of Levi's is literally splitting at the seams with nifty stuff.

Good thing it's coming out only in the latter half of the year, so if we hit the treadmill everyday, we should be able to squeeze into one by then. Hopefully.

MUJI Cardboard Speakers

MUJI, famous for using raw materials in its "No Brand Goods", shows that even consumer electronics can submit to the MUJI philosophy. So get ready for portable cardboard speakers. What's cool about this is that you can fold them up flat and store them in a plastic pouch till the next time you need some audio oomph out of your music player. Of course, at just US$42, don't expect to coax more than one-dimensional sound out of this accessory.

Who let the dogs out?

We have not heard its sonic pedigree for ourselves, but for what it's worth, the iWoofer sure looks like a purebred in our book. Looking rather like a probe from the Scooby-Doo planet, it has a down-firing subwoofer complete with evil-looking tentacle legs so you can rant and stampede through the populace. There's also FM radio to pick up on what the local authorities are planning to do with you as well as a fancy strobe light in case you should lose your Scooby snack in the middle of the invasion.

iBuzz

The infamous British stiff upper lip ("No sex please, we're British'') is really just blarney. From out of the land whence came Pride and Prejudice also, ahem, comes iBuzz, an addon to your iPod or MP3 player which advertises itself as a "music-activated vibrating bullet" that works for him and her, all to the beat of music. There's tongue-firmly-in-cheek Brit humor, too, with iBuzz posing the question: "Which song pushes your buttons?" We in the tropics will never know, coz it's sold only in Europe.

iFish

Aiyoh. With no end in sight to the "i" labeling craze (more power to Apple for leading the pack), the latest, the iFish, is a finny companion to the iDog from Sega. Works the same, too, with blinking lights and wagging fins when plugged into a music player. The Finding Nemo crowd should fall hook, line and sinker for this one.
