Gear4 Video Buddy – From iPod Nano to Widescreen TV

by Jay Garrett on September 29, 2009

Nano videobuddyAfter 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 year old girl’s skirt perhaps the latest from Gear4 could get banned soon.

The Gear4 VideoBuddy is the ideal mate to your new Nano – all you have to do is shove it into the port down at the bottom of your 5th gen’ iPod nano and use the supplied RCA cable to connect it to your gogglebox.

Hey presto – your hastily, yet tastefully, shot clips can now been chucked up on your HDTV.

All you need is £29.99 and to head over to Gear4

Another iPod Dock – Gear4 Duo

by Jay Garrett on May 8, 2008

Gear4 DuoI confess to getting a little bored with the multitude of iDocks knocking around.

Few have pricked my attention such as the B&W Zeppelin, the loveliness of Roth Audio’s line-up and of course the gorgeous Vita Audio R4 but the latest from Gear4 has it’s own trick.

The ‘Duo’ looks like another compact 2.1 speaker system for Apple’s tune-box but pull off the magnetically connected front panel and you’ve got yourself a portable, battery-powered speaker system similar to Gear4’s own StreetParty Size 0 complete with a fold-away kick stand.

When you want to re-dock just push it up against the sub and the magnets click it back into place, and your music continues without fuss.

Crave states that the “sound quality’s not too shabby. When connected to the sub, the overall tone is acceptable”.

Basically it’s ok for your study or bedroom with the benefit of the portable front-end so you don’t have to stop the vibe or podcast whilst making a cuppa or feeding the cat.

It’s out on 1 June for reasonable £150.
