Accessory: Nokia Music Stand MD-1 Preview

Sunday, July 30th, 2006

External iPod speaker stands seem to be all the rage these days. After all, it’s like having your own pesonal boombox without the radio, tape, or CD player. Considering MP3′s are now THE standard music format, it helps to have nicely sized external speakers that hook up directly to your device, right?

Enter the Nokia Music Stand MD-1. Now that MP3′s and cell phones are pretty much intertwined these days, I suppose it was only a matter of time before one of these newfangled things were released for cell phones.

Accessory: Nokia BH-900 Headset Preview

Sunday, July 23rd, 2006

With the absense of any other interesting Nokia phone related news lately (after all, Nokia can’t release new cell phones every week ya know), I’ve been looking at more accessories. Or actually, trying to find cooler ones, or just plan weird ones like the Nokia Xpress-On Fun Shell. And now we have the Nokia BH-900.

Accessory: Blueant Supertooth II Portable Handsfree Kit Preview

Wednesday, July 19th, 2006

…and here we have Blueant’s Supertooth II handsfree device. Similar to Nokia’s Bluetooth car adapter, the Supertooth II is meant to be a quick-changing, long-lasting handsfree loudspeaker for your car. Powered by a lithium ion battery that provides about 20 hours of talk time and 800 hours of standby time, this is a very impressive device.

Accessory: The RAZRWIRE and the O ROKR Preview

Monday, July 17th, 2006

Sunglasses with embedded earbuds never really took off. There’s a good reason why those “Oakies” with a built-in mp3 player and headset are sitting in the Woot warehouse as we speak – nobody bought them.

So of course, Oakley did the sensible thing and made more versions of their MP3 player sunglasses. And then they made some Bluetooth sunglasses. Behold the RAZRWIRE and the O ROKR.
