MyTunes Miniature Amp iPod Speaker
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Music, Portable Audio / Video, USB,
We finally found something at Hammacher Schlemmer that is both original and actually affordable. The Miniature Amp iPod Speaker has three working dials for volume, treble and bass, and a full-range 5W driver. Plug the audio cable into your player’s earphone jack or connect to your computer with included USB cable. At a size of 5 x 3 3/4 x 3 1/2-inches, the MyTunes speaker needs 3 AA batteries (not included), comes with a lifetime warranty and carries a price of $29.95.

Remember Tengu, the USB toy/buddy that reacts to sound? Mr. Jones recently contacted us to let you know that there is now an updated version with five new faces, now at a price of £19.95 ($30.00.) He is offering free shipping during December when you add in the code “TENGU-08.” There is also a special edition Wooden Tengu for £30 (~$45.00,) but be quick as there are only a few available.
(Thanks, Crispin)

LaCie has come up with a new line of cables that they refer to as “practical and fun.” We like to call them cords for the “cable challenged.” The Flat Cables are available in three types of USB interfaces in blue, in addition to the orange FireWire 400 and 800, and green eSATA connectors. Each one has its own labels for more customization. The LaCie cable starts at a price of £9.00 (~$13.00.)

Mophie Juice Pack review
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, USB, Apple, Smartphones, Features, Handhelds, Product Reviews,
Okay, we’re mobile warriors here at Gear Live, and the battery life is the only negative for me when it comes to my iPhone 3G. The Mophie Juice Pack 3G aims to fix that problem, and so we took it to task. Now, mind you, not everyone uses up their battery as quick as I do - I have two email accounts that are on push data, and I also push calendars and contacts as well. That’s a lot of constant connectivity going on. If I’m not careful, my iPhone 3G battery will be dead within 9 hours on a typical day.
That’s where the Mophie Juice Pack steps in, aiming to provide that extra battery goodness. Read on to find out why it earned a spot in our Holiday Gift Guide.
