LogitechLCDTool - homegrown Mac support for Logitech Z-10 speakers
The Logitech Z-10 Speaker system is a cool set of USB speakers that features a little LCD panel that displays track information from iTunes along with touch sensitive controls. Cool, that is, if you're running Windows. Fortunately, Marc Liyanage was not going to stand for this raving injustice and has cooked up his LogitechLCDTool OS X interface for the Z-10. As if that weren't enough, though, Marc notes that "under the hood LogitechLCDTool provides a fully user-programmable platform based on HTML, CSS, JavaScript and AppleScript. Basically the LCD screen is a tiny web page and the buttons can execute JavaScript and AppleScript code." This means in principle the Z-10 screen could be used for other purposes as well, so long as you can do it on a "black-and-white web page with 160x43 pixels." In any case, a hearty TUAW attaboy to Marc for delivering us from a bit of Windows bondage.I also found this interview with the developer at MacDevCenter.[Via MacVolPlace]
Logitech Z-10 Interactive 2.0 Speaker System comes with Internet radio presets
Speaking of being busy, Logitech's been crankin' out some sweet gear as well. This morning, we came across this new Logitech Z-10 Interactive 2.0 Speaker System. These pair of sweet lookin' speakers come with an embedded woofer that elegantly connects to your machine via a single USB cable. But the real innovation is the preset buttons for Internet radio stations (no word on what flavor), and its ability to act as an external control for your favorite media players, including iTunes, WMP, Winamp and Musicmatch. However, it appears that it doesn't have Foobar support yet, sadly. Each satellite is 9.7 x 4.5 x 4.7 inch, and it's due to hit the streets next month for a Benjamin and a half. [Via Geekzone]
