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
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 CommentsWaterproof 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
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.
