Philips has teamed up with sports apparel brand O’Neill, coming up with a line of headphones for active, outdoorsy-types—basically, the exact same people who are familiar with and most likely use O’Neill’s gear. The new line includes four models; two over-ear cans called The Stretch and The Snug, and two in-ear ‘phones, The Covert and The Specked. Awesome stuff, really. Gear that you have to consider if you fit the Philips-O’Neill target market.
Here’s probably one of the best info leaks for previewing the next batch of incoming iPods. Photos of new protective cases for the new 4th-gen iPod touch and 6th-gen iPod nano (or shuffle) have come out from Chinese case vendor X-Doria show an iPod touch-sized case with a hole along the back corner for a camera lens, while the smaller case looks like it can fit the tiny, square, Apple-branded touchscreen that was leaked out last month. The rectangular cutout along the back could be a hole for a clip.
Again, it shouldn’t take long now. Apple’s scheduled a music event on September 1.
Not Google Android-droid, Star Wars-droid. This iPhone case is probably one of the best Star Wars-themed product to come out of the Star Wars Celebration event held last week… if you’re not a die-hard fan, you don’t care much about the upcoming Droid 2 R2-D2 edition, you happen to have an iPhone 3G or 3GS, and you don’t mind shelling out $30 for a case, that is.
Okay, it’s just a stand. Technically speaking, you can’t really turn a smartphone into a Mac. But Just Mobile’s Xtand for the iPhone & 3Gs looks awesome next to your average stand that looks like a couch or small flower-pot mobile-phone-stand that was made from an actual flower pot. The Mac part comes from the design—it’s made from solid aluminum, with a hole that makes it identifiable as something that just looks very Apple.
Logitech just announced a new portable Made for iPod/ iPhone speaker-dock called the Rechargeable Speaker S715i. The name pretty much speaks for itself—it’s basically a speaker dock that comes with its own batteries for blasting music from your iDevice without having to be tied down to a wall socket.
