Lasonic and Rap-Up team for the Limited Edition i931 boombox
Lasonic's iPod dock masquerading as a ghetto blaster is nothing we haven't seen before, but the new Limited Edition i931 with Rap-Up branding... well, it's so "fabulous" we couldn't resist. Weighing in at about 25 pounds, this behemoth boasts two 12-inch speakers, it docks and charges your iPod, and it's going to look semi-fly doing it, too. It's also got an AM/FM tuner, EQs, an alarm clock -- you know, the works. This hulking "high performance portable music system" is destined to make you nostalgic for a simpler time of miniscule MP3 players with teensy little earbuds. It's $189 and available now.[Via Rap-Up]
Keepin' it real fake, part LXXIII: Lasonic rips the Samsung YP-T9
So you're looking for a DAP that's got all the cred of the Samsung YP-T9 but none of the screen resolution, Flash interface, PlaysForSure support or battery life? Lasonic's got you covered with the VP-SBK line of DAPs, which feature the same 1.8-inch screen size and basic design as the Sammy, but flips the D-pad color scheme and adds a built-in speaker and, bizarrely enough, an ebook reader for those who've always wanted glasses. 2GB versions are apparently popping up in Fry's right now for $60 -- and we bet Samsung's lawyers are already on the phone.[Via Anything But iPod]
