Rad Blaster – The OLED Packing Pocket Boombox

by Jay Garrett on December 15, 2009

RadblasterLooking for a present that’s urban, street and retro cool?

Check out The Rad Blaster :)

So – it does exactly like most other MP3 players do. It plays those choice cuts, record sounds and store files.

The difference with the Rad Blaster is it does all that and it’s shaped like a ghetto blaster or boombox if you will.

The Rad Blaster is also packing a 1.1 inch OLED screen and 2GB of built-in memory.

OK, so it’s larger than a shuffle but I think it looks a hell of a lot cooler.

Check out the video for some breakdancin to the RB’s beats – or head to the Rad Blaster site and pick one up for $60!

vestalife-firefly-novelty-ipod-speaker-7You have to do something different if you want someone to notice yet another iPod dock hitting the market.

Vestalife has revealed theirs and have called it the “Firefly“.

Vestalife says that the cuteness belies a “bold personality and powerful sound”.

They also says it has “organic flowing lines that give it a unique attitude and personality”.

So – a dock with wings” eh?

More importantly than the winged speakers there’s also a built-in rear firing ported subwoofer, a digital amplifier and touch-sensitive controls.

The Firefly comes in three soft-touch finishes – metallic red, metallic silver and metallic black- the Firefly can be AC or battery-powered and is compatible with all dockable iPods as well as the iPhone 2G, 3G and 3GS.

Oh – it costs $129.99.

Is it still cute now?

I’m thinking cute, I believe blue, large ears…………..

How cool is this?
The lightsaber flashlight (or torch to us Brits) is a replica of Darth Vader’s weapon of choice and, unfortunately, is only loaded with 4 red LEDs instead of a laser that can cut through any young Jedi wannabe who would be using their own torch (complete with sound-effects!).
It’s powered by 3 (Sith [...]
