PodXtreme Sound Box gives a sound boost

PodXtreme Sound Box gives a sound boost Your headphones don't quite make the cut when you want to share a favorite tune with your friend in a public place, while carrying around an iPod dock is just plain silly. This is where the PodXtreme Sound Box comes in handy, being an add-on speaker that generates a 'powerful sound' and an equally 'powerful bass boost' (gleaned from the product description) from the iPod. The PodXtreme Sound Box can be charged via USB or a wall socket, and I think this will be an intermediate solution that remains very much in the average spectrum. At $29.95 a pop, do you really think the PodXtreme Sound Box will be able to perform to your expectations?

FCC smiles on iDen i876

Motorola’s new iDEN phone i876 has recently been given the go-ahead by the FCC, and is set to be released in Q4 this year. What is most interesting about this cellphone would be its GPS features which most people would find limited. According to the manual, the Motorola i876 can be hooked up to a notebook or other compatible device via a serial data cable, enabling your handset to transmit and receive data. Your location information can be sent this way, but I guess with plenty of folks already having their own personal navigation device, this function will be largely overlooked as a gimmick.
