The GenevaSound S Designer iPod Dock – Classy Sound and Comparatively Affordable

by Jay Garrett on December 19, 2009

I think I’ve found the perfect iPod dock to sit in the same room as the retrotastic Philco PC :)

GenevaSound have just announced a newer, smaller, and more affordable dock called the GenevaSound System Model S (for small).

This GenevaSound S apparently has one of the smallest hifi speakers ever released (?) at just under 6 inches.

The classy designer dock also packs a digital radio and alarm clock.

You get TouchLight controls, which lights up the system upon touch which is a nice….. err… touch; as is the motorized PowerDock, which spins up to close when the iPod is removed from the system.

You get a choice of gloss White, Black or Red finishes and you can plonk it on the included table stand should you so wish.

The S retails for $299 but if you have more cash see the gallery pic below for the full (and not cheap) range ;)

iPod Shuffle tapSTICK – Protective Case, Controller and Headphone Adapter all-in-one

by Jay Garrett on November 11, 2009

tapStick largeWhen is a case not a case?

When it also gives you control over your iPod Shuffle and allows you to use your own cans without having to use Scosche’s adapter.

Scosche’s new iPod shuffle case, the tapSTICK (no – not Chapstick!), is now available and it looks pretty neat.

The Scosche tapSTICK simply slides onto the iPod shuffle.

It does increase the little shuffle’s length a little but small price to pay for being able to shove your favourite headphones directly into the unit.

The other fabby thing about this case-cum-control unit is that all the regular buttons are replicated on the side – including the voice description of a song.

If I had a Shuffle I’d go to Scosche’s site and pay the £24.95 asking price for the tapSTICK iPod shuffle case!

If you’re no longer impressed by your iPod dock and friends just stand there; pointing and laughing at the small speakers hooked up to your iPhone – it may be time to scare the living bejeebus out of them!
What you need is a wall of sound – not just any wall of sound though.
You need [...]

After last week’s reports that a US gym has banned the new iPod Nano due to fears that it could be used for catching scenes of sweaty, lycra clad folk on the treadmill and an actual arrest in Kobe, Japan, after some bloke hid the Nano in his shoe, and somehow filmed up an 18 [...]

Since first clapping my eyes on Digi Dude I’ve enjoyed Quirky’s work.
Now they’ve gone and slapped down another one of their painfully cool ‘designed by community’ offerings – this time for the new iPod Nano 5G.
The Kickster is a $14.35 iPod nano case that features a hard shell, cord wrap, and a kickstand that bends [...]

You’re probably aware that there was a little shin-dig where some new iPods were unleashed yesterday evening.
Out of the new line-up the one, for me, that deserves most attention is the Nano 5G.
Form wise it doesn’t seem that different from the Nano 4G – the screen seems slightly larger and the rainbow colour choice of [...]

So, what’s gonna happen in the next eight days?
Apple has already confirmed it’s having an iPod bash on September 9 and now they seem to have axed their current line of tune chuckers.
Apparently Apple Authorized Resellers have commented that current iPod stock is rapidly running out, if not gone already, and that all of the [...]

Here’s a very cool design concept that could be used for the next-gen iPod Shuffle.
Designer Tryi Yeh has put forward a small, square-ish player that sports a slidey-up screen.
As well as looking totally sexy and making the unit smaller (depending on the mode it’s in) the peek-a-boo display would also be nice and safe.
Yeh [...]

Remember that clever little Leyio?
You know: the gadgety way of sharing data and stuff at the shake of your wrist?
Yeah – it hasn’t exactly caught on and I forgive you if you’ve forgotten all about it since the beginning of the year – the main problem is that ideally you need to find someone else [...]
