Atlantic launches waterproof EGO floating speaker system for iPod
Considering your mind is probably more focused on that upcoming trip to the slopes than your thoroughly frozen outdoor pool, you probably aren't in any dire need of a floating iPod speaker system in the midst of January, but nevertheless, Atlantic's bringing it to you. Aside from always staying on the sunny side of whatever liquid it's in, the plastic shell also touts a pair of (presumably weak) stereo speakers and the ability to house your dock-connecting iPod. Reportedly, the device is waterproof enough to withstand pool parties and showers, and can supposedly operate for 30 hours on just four AA batteries. While the EGO has been floating around (ahem) briefly, the firm plans to officially launch it during next week's CES, but those eager to get their swim trunks on in the middle of winter can find one now for around $115.[Via TGDaily]
Tulip's luxury Ego laptop sashays its way to the USA
If you've had your eye on Tulip's line of luxury laptops but don't way to pay the extra bucks to import one (or take time away from your next European vacation to pick one up), you can now get one a little closer to home, with none other than Barneys signed up to deliver the goods in the US. While it's not clear if the six figure diamond-encrusted model will be available for your perusal, you can now snag the "entry level" model both in store (in New York, Beverly Hills, Chicago and Dallas) and on Barney's website for a mere $5,000. The big selling point on this one is the interchangeable skins, although while there's apparently more than a dozen available, you'll only get two with your purchase. The system's specs, not surprisingly, are pretty far off the mark from the price, with the Ego packing a 12-inch WXGA display, AMD Turion 64 processor, ATI Radeon XPRESS 200 M graphics, 1GB of RAM, an 80GB hard drive, and integrated WiFi and Bluetooth. But what are specs compared to the bragging rights that come with a zebra-skinned laptop? [Via Gizmag]
