Snowflake iPod dock arrives early

Posted in Concepts by Conner Flynn on July 29th, 2010

Designer Sylvain Gerber must have winter on his mind. And he, like us, is sick of all docks looking the same. So he came up with this neat Snowflake Dock. It boasts lights that change according to the current music track that is playing.

It’s a concept right now, but some manufacturer will surely make it. How can they resist? Not only is it a snowflake, but it changes colors. It’s perfect for a Christmas tree topper. What do you think?

Sprint prepping iPod touch case with Wi-Fi hotspot?

Posted in Sprint by Conner Flynn on July 29th, 2010

Check this out. An FCC filing has signaled a unique Sprint plan to capture Apple device users. A ZTE device called the Peel would serve as an iPod touch case but would hold a full 3G-to-Wi-Fi mobile hotspot in its back. This would give the iPod and other nearby devices, an always-on 3G connection without needing a separate MiFi.

The Peel’s capabilities aren’t fully known, but it would obviously have its own battery; there’s no Dock Connector or similar attachment to whatever device it would hold. A mini USB port on one side will let owners charge from a computer or the wall power adapter.

flOw wireless speaker concept shakes up your music

Posted in Concepts by Conner Flynn on May 23rd, 2010

It’s just a concept at the moment, but David Boyce’s flOw has a lot of potential. The five-speaker set can be arranged into an iPod docking station, but unlike other docks, any of the speakers can be taken somewhere else while the music follows wirelessly.

The real interesting part is that each ball has integrated gesture sensors and accelerometers, allowing you to turn down the volume by turning it over or you can switch tracks simply by shaking the speaker. Shake it lightly and you get a soft jam, shake it hard and you get Heavy Metal.
