Aside from being based on one of the greatest movie characters of all time, the R2-D2 movie projector represents a serious piece of home entertainment kit. Artoo combines the features of a DVD projector with a DVD and CD player and an iPod docking station. It also offers an integrated speaker system with 2 10W speakers, a fully featured remote control designed like the Millenium Falcon, and sound and light effects similar to those belonging to the “real” R2-D2. The Millenium Falcon remote control can be used to move Artoo in any direction...
It’s hardly a secret that we should all be doing our bit to save the environment, but that doesn’t mean we have to be eco-warrior tree hugging hippies does it? The Eco Media Player offers a vast range of functions, a slightly odd design, and dual charging methods. OK, so we doubt it’ll ever be quite as popular as the iPod, but its ingenious nevertheless. Treover Baylis has designed and developed this impressive bit of personal audio kit so you know that it’s going to do its job and more. Among its prestigious fans,...
Sony has taken a somewhat unusual step in its creation of mp3 players. Some may feel that the Rolly is a little gimmicky, to put it mildly, and others will undoubtedly complain at the current $400 (£200) price tag but it is certainly unique and, it has to be said, pretty cool. The mobile mp3 disco is an mp3 player. It offers 1GB of flash memory and offers dual 20mm speakers mounted on either end. It’s hardly pioneering in its player capaibilities, but that’s not where the design is unique. The Rolly is also an mp3 enjoyer...
Do you listen to music when you go to bed? Do you ever wake your partner up with your music blaring? Do you wish you had a more comfortable pillow? If you answered yes to any of these questions then we may have found the gadget for you in the form of the sound asleep pillow. I was searching the Internetfor a comfy pair of earphones to wear at night when I stumbled upon this microfiber pillow with a built in 3.5 mm jack to plug your music straight into (whether that be ipod, mp3, CD or tv). I just had to try it! The sound asleep pillow...
I saw an impressive pair of sunglasses during my daily jaunt around the Gizmodo website. When it comes to tinted specs nobody does it quite as well as Oakley, but with the Split Thump glasses they seem to have managed to go one better than their usual inimitable style by combining gadgets with good looks. The gadget is a built in MP3 player which does nothing to hinder the class that the glasses exude. A USB port enables you to download any and all of your music onto the player, which is available in 1GB and 2GB capacities. The Gizmodo...
At least, your mobile phone might join in. It will if it’s a Nokia 5320 XpressMusic. One of the latest Nokia handsets, this includes the Nokia Say and Play software. The rather intuitively titled program enables you to pick a song just by speaking the title. It could make for some fairly embarassing situations involving bad music tastes – although it may not, of course. All in all it’s a pretty nifty piece of kit for music lovers on the go. Quick downloading of tunes is enabled through HSDPA and USB 2.0. Up to 8GB external...
The Apple iPhone has been something of a phenomenon since its release. There’s no doubting its incredible looks and the existence of a touch screen that actually works as intended had many a technophile salivating at the very prospect of ownership. However, the £269 price tag was far from accessible for the majority. Partially in light of this, prices were reduced by £100 to a much more attractive £169. The end result is that both the providers Carphone Warehouse and the network O2 have indicated that they only have very limited...
Room for one more track? According to researchers from Glasgow University, you’ll have plenty of room soon. Professor Lee Cronin and Dr Malcolm Kadodwala have completed research that means a single square inch of memory could contain as much as 500,000 GB, instead of the current limit of approximately 3.3GB. That should have ISPs in a bit of a panick, following news that they want the BBC to pay more because of the popularity of the BBC iPlayer. Imagine the number of downloads that you would need to manage in order to fill an iPod...
