Tascam has introduced a new way to tune your guitar. It’s compact at just just 3.77- x 0.71- x 1.57-inches and the TC-1S claims to be the world’s first solar-powered tuner. It sports a rugged silicon shell, a USB port for those cloudy days and a carrying clip.

There’s also an integrated microphone and an input for guitar and bass tuning. It can also be calibrated to an external source. The device will be available in si colors (black, pink, orange, green, blue, white) this month.

Here’s an interesting rackmountable CD player. Assuming that you are still spinning CDs. It’s Tascam’s CD-200i. This rackmountable CD player will play all of your audio CDs, MP3 CDs and WAV file CDs, but what makes it interesting is that it also features a docking station for your iPod.

You can control your iPod directly from the front-panel or using a wireless remote, plus you can play videos through an S-video connection on the back. The front-panel Folder navigation buttons change folders on CDs and albums on the iPod. The device also supports CD TEXT and ID3 tag info.
