Let us go a bit retro, recalling the ancient time of rotary dialed phones. Apparently these old phones now have another use, modified to accommodate iPods and hence come up with the RotariPhone iPod Dock. The iPod is docked on where the handset is usually placed. Tilt it upwards and then place you iPod or iPhone and then play the tunes you want to hear. The speakers are the hearing and mouth piece, an ingenious design that should put some difference on the iPod docks available in the market today.

For iPod owners, it is practically automatic to have a USB sync cable with the device for storing, uploading and recharging your device. But what if you could get another device that would allow you to perform multiple tasks like perhaps charge other gadgets?

Well all this is possible now with the release of the PocketDock by Sendstation. This new dock allows you to charge with a normal mini USB cable and then connect your iPod to a home stereo or speakers. The device plugs into the charge port of your iPod and offers a 3.5mm output and a mini USB plug.

The PocketDock carries a 30-pin docking connector and is about the size of an actual iPhone charger. It retails for $29.95.

For the people looking for a reliable dock with speakers, Logitech has a pair of portable speaker systems that should be a good choice. Though it is confusing to note if both are rechargeable, it is obvious that both are portable! Also, it is practically automatic for most iPod docks to recharge although the S315i seems to be telling us that the speakers themselves can be recharged (or something like that).

Anyway, the Logitech Rechargeable S315i speakers are great for people looking for exceptional sound delivery. It features a slim design and durable metal grills that should be able to provide the complimentary speaker requirements that iPod owners require.

On the other end is the S125i which is recommended for first time iPod owners. It is an easy-to-transport speaker dock which carries extra bass at the touch of a button. Ideal for people who want to share the musical tunes they listen to wherever they go.

Both come with the usual AC adapter and standard 3.5mm jacks which may come in handy just in case you have another portable media player in tow.

At first they were rumors but if this new device from Ninentdo, the new Nintendo DSi, does come out this April then expect a lot of people looking into this handy device. A successor to the Nintendo DS Lite, this latest offering is 12 percent thinner and comes with two VGA digital cameras.

It also comes with better speakers, a power button instead of the switch found on the DS Lite, five brightness settings, a new SD card slot for data storage and multimedia content, the ability to update firmware when needed, and 256 MB of internal flash memory.

One downside to it though is that the battery can only last 16 hours compared to the DS Lite’s standard 19 hours. The reason behind this is the additional brightness settings feature that the DSi comes with.

Dear Santa, can you bring me something expensive, I don’t need actually need it, but just so people will envy me for it? Pretty please? Well I don’t really need that and I am not even exactly sure how much these Bang & Olufsen speakers will cost. But you just have to love the Christmas season! Everybody turns into a shopaholic this month and they should! And maybe some of us will even get this speaker system.

It’s a Bang & Olufsen speaker system that changed color. We are talking about white loudspeakers. That’s right, just differently colored. The fabrics are made by Italian Silanco and they passed the sound quality tests of B&O. Those two combined will guarantee great quality sound and appeareance, even after 6-8 years.

No news on the price tag just yet, but it might be really expensive Santa!

The title gives my surprise speaker pretty much away don’t you think? But the question is, is the sound coming from this Diamond Glass Tower, crystal clear. Here’s why the Niagara Waterfall Speakers cost just $53,000. For certain parts of the Waterfall Speakers, Niagara uses high quality Nappa leather hand stitched by a upholsterer in France. Other parts are made out of a solid aluminum block. The entire enclosure is made in 15mm thick Diamond Glass. The bottom panel houses a 21cm Atohm 18 cm ultra low frequency passive bass driver in a down firing position to extend bass frequencies.

Would you pay the $53,000 for a pair of speakers? At this price it’s a pretty hard decision to take especially with the current economical crisis.
