    Don't pretend that you've "thrown away" or "misplaced" your old iPod nano / Shuffle case -- we know you Apple folk respect Cupertino's packaging just as much as what's inside (we kid, we kid). If you just so happen to have the case that your first- or second-generation nano / second- or third-generation Shuffle came in, Bird Electron's EZ17-B speaker will give it a new reason for hanging around. Apparently, the speaker simply slips into the old case and gets its power from whatever DAP you attach to it. 'Course, this leads us to believe that you won't be rockin' any after-prom parties with just one of these bad boys, but it should do the trick in the backseat of a car. Still, we've got better things to do with $39.99 than spend it on this, but to each his / her own, right?[Via AudioJunkies]

    For the DJ looking to stuff his / her entire setup into an array of cargo pockets, we've found your mixer of choice. Bird Electronics' DJ5 is the likely successor to the overly simplistic DJ4 that we saw earlier this year, but this beauty packs a bit more functionality into a not-too-much larger package. Set to go on sale next week, the palm-sized unit features a pair of 3.5-millimeter input and output jacks, left / right headphone volume and a slide switch for Line 1 / Line 2 / Mix. Best of all, you can power this thing with just a trio of AA cells, so there's no need to fret if that AC plug is chillin' out on the opposite side of the room. Get set to mix things up real soon for ¥15,000 ($132), and click on through for a few more shots.[Via Impress]
