Altec Lansing serves up angular Octiv Mini iPod / iPhone sound system
We know -- you need another iPod sound system about as bad as you need another mortgage, but why leave any one room lacking, right? Altec Lansing has cranked out a rather unorthodox looking device this fine evening, certified to play nice with iPhone and iPod and deliver soothing jazz to whatever ears are fortunate enough to get close. The Octiv Mini (M102; $59.95) is yet another iPod / iPhone alarm clock, though this one ships with the Alarm Rock app in order to customize one's wake-up tunes from their bedside. Full specs should be popping up in that source link momentarily, and it'll ship to the last five remaining Americans who actually need one of these type devices in July. %Gallery-95971%
BEXY's iMirror remotes your iPod, enriches your life
Are you feeling constrained by your iPod, tired of plugging in unsightly and unnecessary cables, and just ready to break free of your earphones and start remotin' the hell out of your music collection? Well if that's the case, you might want to check into BEXY's iMirror; a dock, remote control "mirror" (i.e., it displays what your iPod does), and video-out for your player (with video, obviously) that lets you snap your chains and get out of the box... literally. The iMirror can charge and sync your pod via USB, output audio from RCA or mini-phono jack connectors, control playback via the remote, and pipe archaic S-Video output to your TV for the viewing of fond memories -- and it does it all for the low, low price of $149.99. Sure, we've seen products like this before, but this particular iteration is definitely better looking than most, and certainly a more practical solution than say... using your teeth.
