Denon Electronics has introduced two new audio systems which use wireless connectivity to access digital audio. The new S-32 and S-52 systems are priced at around $500 and $700 respectively.

The Denon S-32 and S-52 are part of the company’s new S-Series Networked Audio Systems. They use 802.11 wireless technology to let you access music on other home networked devices as well as pay-for streaming audio from Rhapsody digital music service. Both models also include a built-in iPod dock, with S-52 offering additional entertainment options like a built-in HD Radio tuner, slot loading CD player and XM Satellite Radio.

Does your iPod yearn for more than the average looking case? How about one set in 14-karat gold. Metallo Design, a designer of luxury products, is set to outfit your iPod in its own take on iPod cases. The new Gilty Couture line prices from around $55 to $200.

The Gilty Couture cases are made of metal and designed to protect your iPod as any other hard case would. Where they vary is that each hand-crafted case “eatures brilliant bezel style settings with opulent Swarovski crystals, and each piece is draped in 14-karat gold or silver jewelry quality plating.”

The iViewer HTM 9000 should make alot of PSP and iPod owners very happy. The device wirelessly plays back files coming from any multimedia source to a NTSC, Pal or Secam TV. The manufacturer says that it works with the iPods and the PSP as well as digital cameras and camcorders. They are fairly vague about it.

The iViewer sends the files to your TV via some sort of mini embedded antennae. You simply choose one of 4 channel options to view the content on. The device also features input composite video and a built-in stereo encoder. Power is in the form of a standard DC plug for DC power in, but it also has a compartment for 4 AAA batteries. Should you want to view your content on a TV instead of your small screen, it will only cost you $26.99 to pick one up and let us know how it fairs.

A new portable iPod/iPhone charger has surfaced for those on the go who find their Apple device without power. The iPowerRush Charger is priced at around $30 and available now.

The iPowerRush Charger draws its energy from six AAA batteries housed inside its casing. These batteries provide a self-described 10 to 15 extra hours of iPod life on average. The charger includes an on/off switch as well as a power indicator to let you know how much battery life is left. The unit measures 2 x 3-5/8 x 1/2-inches.

It can never hurt to have extra iPod chargers stashed away at home, the office or in your car for those times when the battery is about done. iFrogz, a maker of iPod accessories, is introducing its own charging products for the Apple portable media player. These are the iFrogz Wall Charger and Car Charger.

The iFrogz Wall Charger, priced at around $15, is a 110v USB product which has a standard two ply plug for fitting into a regular wall outlet. You connect the charger to your iPod through a USB cable. It is available in five color choices.

Who hasn’t looked at their iPod and wished they could play games with it. Well, now you can. Not Super Mario or Metroid kind of games, mind you, but your iPod just got a little more fun. The iNo Interactive Game System for iPod turns the device into a game of music trivia that plays off your own music library.

Simply listen to the music, buzz your remote control when you think you know the answer and guess the name of the artist, the song or the album. Rack up the points and win. But wait…there may be one slight hitch here, before you rush out and spend $79.99 of your hard earned money. Doesn’t the iPod owner know his/her songs by heart? I would think they would be the winner every time. Oh well, for $80 you will just have to be content to sit out the game and let your friends play, wondering why the experience cost you $80.

What’s more annoying than an alarm clock? How about an alarm clock with a robot head on it? That’s right – for around $80 you can introduce Mr. Clock Radio into your life.

This creepy looking clock radio has a robotic head set atop it like some kind of statue. You can wake up to some 30 different ways, ranging from a gentle voice to a screaming maniac beside your bed. You can also get it to tell you your fortune, wink as you undress and more! It will apparently even play music from your iPod.

iPod case maker iFrogz recently unveiled a new, very portable mini-speaker system which an expandable middle chamber. The new Thumpz is priced at around $25.

The iFrogz Thumpz offers up what its maker calls a typical small speaker sound when the speaker is closed. When the middle section is expanded however one gets increased bass sound, filling a room with “a deep rich sound.” It comes with a rechargeable battery and USB cable.

iPod accessory maker Blue Raven Technology unveiled today some new iPod speaker systems, some of which use Bluetooth for wireless audio streaming from the MP3 player. The new Blue Raven Maestro 2020 and 2040 models range in price from around $170 to $300.

The Blue Raven Maestro 2020 and 2040 models are two piece speaker systems with 20 and 40 watts of digital audio playback, respectively. They come in several different colors. What distinguishes the products from each other is that two of the four models have built-in iPod docks, while the others make use of an optional Bluetooth transmitter attached to the iPod to receive sound. All models can connect almost any other audio device to the unit with the auxiliary in port.

I got my Eco Media Player about 2 weeks ago and I’ve been checking out it’s various functions. The device has several features like a video player, music player, fm radio, LED torch, photo viewer, hi-fi recorder, memo recorder, data storage device and a mobile phone charger. You charge the device via USB, but if you don’t have a computer nearby it can be hand cranked to recharge the juice via a fold-out handle on the rear.

They claim that 40 minutes of audio play requires only one minute of self powering. Actually when I put that to the test I got a whole lot more. Closer to 2 hours. I don’t know if that is typical or not, but I let the battery deplete to nothing before I wound it. So that was a plus. I loaded a few videos and the conversion software is pretty effortless. The quality of the video is surprisingly crisp and clean for the small 1.8″ color screen. No complaints there.

We all want a single unit that has every form of entertainment in one box. SE2 Labs has an entertainment super-machine that tries to oblige, while looking like a mini-computer server. Design-wise, it’s looks are simply amazing. It’s called the ITC One and it boasts an Xbox 360, HD personal video recorder, surround-sound processor, ICEpower High End D-Class Amplifiers, 4.3-inch touchscreen, iPod dock, and remote control system all in a single unit.

The price for having so many goodies in one box? A whooping $19,900. Most people would prefer to get a rocking home theater system at that price. Or even buy a car. But if you like it’s design and the fact that it’s so compact, go for it.

The DVD Xpress is aimed at that demographic who do not like to buy DVDs or just take awhile to get with the program. As long as you have a VHS version and the DVD Xpress home video archiver, you can turn your videos into digital versions. Store them on your hard drive or burn them to DVD. It also lets you
create movies for playback on your iPod or PSP.

It hooks up to your PC via USB. Then connect your camcorder to the video/audio inputs on the DVD Xpress. Put a blank DVD disc into your PC, press play on your camcorder and burn a copy automatically to DVD. It’s that simple. You better get started archiving all those precious family movies and bringing them into the digital age. May your embarrassing moments live forever.

The Thodio iBox is a very nice and somewhat retro looking iPod amplifier that is handcrafted from wood which is finished with quality high gloss lacquer. It will make your desk look much classier. The rechargeable battery provides 15 hours of juice, and the two speakers deliver 25 watts of power each.

It’s been a trend lately to recapture that look of old 1950′s Television sets with their woodgrain cabinets, and translate the look to these new devices. Anything looks at least a bit neater in wood, but with the Thodio, I think they got the design just right. Each case is handcrafted from 15mm of beech, oak, teak, zebrano or mahogany.

It wouldn’t be a day here at Slippery Brick without pointing out some new iPod accessory. Today we’ve set our sights on the Roth Audio ALFiE, a cool looking iPod speaker system priced at around $1,000.

It’s got an integrated iPod dock, slot fed disc drive which playbacks DVD/CD/VCD/CDR/CDRW, FM/AM radio and an auxiliary port for playback of other audio devices. Speakers output 40 watts of sound and include a downward firing subwoofer.
