I’ve been wandering the show floor now for two days and caught the IDG Macblast party on Tuesday night and you get a little weary and jaded by the constant “CHECK OUT THIS AMAZING AND REVOLUTIONARY iPOD CASE THAT JUST ROCKS” but really is little different than every OTHER iPod case that you’ve seen on the floor, but every so often some product you see just kinda grabs your attention. This is about two I’ve seen today.
The first one I saw was from Blue Microphones and is called the Snowflake. If you’re familiar with the Snowball microphone which is a USB connected microphone that has garnered some good reviews, then you kinda know what the Snowflake looks like. Except you really don’t. It has the look of many Blue Microphone products but is portable and you can take it apart as well and hang it off the front of your laptop or flat-screen display. I’d love to give you a link, but it doesn’t seem to currently be on their website. Must be a hush-hush product. Keep an eye out for it if you need a microphone.
The next product that just made me say WOW was a portable speaker from ifrogz called the “Vibes”. It’s a little battery powered speaker with remarkable range considering its size. Is it going to make you throw out your $1000 speakers for a device that is under $30? No of course not, but this little speaker that actually compacts to an even smaller size like an accordion sounded great. It’s USB rechargeable and just connects to your iPod’s audio out 1/8-inch jack. Amazing sound from such a small device.
That’s it for the WOW for today…unless some other product grabs my blood-shot eyes before closing time.
