    Innpu solves a problem you never had, introduces the ‘wired phone’ with built-in hands-free

    Posted on June 22, 2010 | No Comments
    Ok, so I'm not one of those guys that goes around holding their phone in one hand, and a hands-free microphone (irony duly noted) in the other in an effort to lose friends. In fact, I'm not even one of those guys that unwraps their included hands-free kit when they get a new phone. I just don't use handsfree kits. If you call me when I'm driving, I let it ring out. So I may not be in the best position to talk about Innpu's new phone. You know, the one that has a permanently attached hands-free kit.

  • Murata develops world’s first waterproof, ultra-thin piezoelectric speakers

    Murata develops world’s first waterproof, ultra-thin piezoelectric speakers

    Posted on June 11, 2010 | No Comments
    Kyoto-based Murata has developed the world's first piezoelectric speaker that not only is waterproof but also ultra-thin (0.9mm). The devices are meant to be mainly used with mobile phones, which makes sense, given that almost 25% of the 50 latest cell phones released (on the Japanese market, at least) are actually waterproof.

    Murata’s paper-thin waterproof speaker perfect for phones, pool parties

    Posted on June 10, 2010 | No Comments
    Waterproof phones are few and far between stateside, but in Japan, they're pretty common -- and hey, who wouldn't like to be able to safely take that two-hour conference call from the comfort of your bubble bath? To that end, Murata is touting its new ultra-thin piezoelectric speaker that clocks in at just 0.9mm thick while maintaining IPX7 compliance for water resistance. It's said that waterproof phones are traditionally made by covering speaker holes with a film, compromising sound quality -- but with Murata's design, no film is necessary, offering you that symphony hall-style audio you so desperately need from sixteen inches under the surface of your swirling hot tub. Party on!

  • Review: Harman/Kardon HKTS 20BQ 5.1 speaker system

    Review: Harman/Kardon HKTS 20BQ 5.1 speaker system

    Posted on April 28, 2010 | No Comments
    Short version: Harman/Kardon makes great speakers, and this set is no exception. If you're looking for a relatively inexpensive home-theater speaker system, you can definitely do much worse then the HKTS 20BQ. This is a complete 5.1 system in a box, and includes everything you need to get your system rocking. The speakers have great response throughout the range, and the 8 inch powered subwoofer will definitely shake things up.

    Review: Plantronics Voyager PRO UC Bluetooth headset

    Posted on April 27, 2010 | No Comments
    There’s a small market for Bluetooth headsets that come with auto-pairing dongles. Some peeps need a quick and reliable way to use software like Microsoft Office Communicator and Skype and so I tested out the Jabra GO 6430 a few weeks back. While I found the audio superb, it didn’t fit right in my ear. Plantronics [...]

    Needing assistance with your most basic of senses is never something anyone wants to advertise. Thus we’ve come up with handy ways of making them socially acceptable. Enough nerdy kids like myself needed glasses that they’ve become fashion accessories in and of themselves. And modern hearing aids usually focus on being tiny and out of [...]
