EOps i24R3 Portable – Single Unit Wireless Surround Sound Speaker

by Jay Garrett on November 4, 2009

i24r3-portable-speakeWhy have I got a picture of a broken table/giant spinning-top/dartboard/archery target?

This is none-of-the-above as you can well imagine.

What that happens to be is the EOps i24R3 Portable.

The real, working, funkiness is a wireless, waterproof, single-speaker surround sound system that has just been announced by Hong Kong designer Michael Young.

The system is a single sealed sound chamber filled with four, 2.6 inch flat speakers and two 4.5inch passive radiator speakers which all snuggle up to a 2×10W Class D amplifier.

You can either hook this up to a wall socket or it will run off the built-in lithium polymer battery.

Looking around it you may become confused as there are no inputs.

To get your choonz pumping the i24R3 grabs your music over 2.4GHz wireless USB or A2DP Bluetooth – direct and wireless from the likes of iTunes and devices like iPhones.

Needless to say that there seems to be no word on price – but it does look pretty schweeeeeeeeet you must agree.

Or not?

Let me know :)

Unlocked 3G iPhone For Sale Officially!

by Jay Garrett on September 26, 2008

Apple is now selling its iPhone 3G unlocked via its on-line Apple Store in Hong Kong!

Yup, the 8GB model sells for HK$5,500 (about £376) or HK$6,200 (about £431) for the 16 gigger.

“iPhone 3G purchased at the Apple Online Store can be activated with any wireless carrier. Simply insert the SIM from your current phone into iPhone 3G and connect to iTunes 8 to complete activation.”

Unfortunately for the 1 billion mainland Chinese and the rest of the world the terms and conditions limit sales to those in Hong Kong only – it can’t be long until we see the Grey Import versions tho ;)

It’ll be interesting to see if Apple extends the unlocking more broadly (presumably as exclusivity deals expire) or if this is strictly a local phenomena.
