Love It or Leave It? iPod Nano Clutch

GeekSugar — Tue, 15 May 2007 07:00:14 -0700

How do you feel about having your money, credit cards and iPod nano in an all-in-one clutch? The pacific design uptown clutch by Kolobags is one of those functional wallets that will hold pretty much everything...and it still manages to be sleek and fashionable. A fold over pocket allows you to control your iPod without opening the clutch and a mesh earbud/wire storage pouch keeps your earbuds in place. Colors include sky blue with orange interior, pink with white interior, or cherry red with yellow interior. Priced at $30. What are your thoughts? Too multi-functional for your liking?

Griffin's Journi Speaker Has Travel Potential

GeekSugar — Mon, 21 May 2007 10:00:11 -0700

Some folks from Griffin stopped by our office during their recent PR tour and let us play with their new line of speakers. While the others may offer better sound (don't worry, I'll share those reviews with you soon), I was charmed by the journi's tiny, portable "classy boombox" qualities. They call it a "personal mobile speaker," which is just what it is. Close up the speaker looks like a clutch, but opened up it folds into a lightweight pyramid of sound. According to the reps, the battery works for up to 10 hours, so you can take the little speaker traveling, to a picnic or at your desk (they didn't let me play with it for that long so I can't stand by that claim!). If it doesn't last 10 hours it is powered by internal Lithium-Ion batteries, which can recharge with the included AC adapter or through your computer's powered USB port.

To work it you just slide your iPod into the dock (it works with other MP3 players as well) and spin a wheel to adjust the "wrapstand" around your player and hit play on your iPod or the remote. The wrapstand means the speaker works just as well with the mini or nano as it does the regular size iPod and it won't shift around in your bag.

Features: Apparently, two 50mm high/mid-range drivers and two 64mm passive radiators use SRS WOW digital technology to expand the audio image and sound of the journi speaker. The battery works 8-10 hours of play on a single charge via AC adapter or powered USB port and the device syncs your iPod with your computer's iTunes library as it charges. It does have an Auxiliary Audio Input for other digital music players.

Felicidade Groove Bag Plus Triplet

GeekSugar — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 13:00:28 -0700

I apologize for exhausting you with yet another iPod speaker bag, but I promise that this design is more geek chic than totally geeky, even if it is faux leather.

Featured on 7 Gadgets, the Groove bag by Felicidade looks like a giant clutch handbag that you'd pair with pumps for a day of shopping.
What I like about it is the iPod Cradle and the fact that the two speakers blend in with its exterior, making it more conspicuous than other iPod bags. Although I'm still debating whether or not I'd actually use it! Priced at $100.
