Two super simple DIY hacks for the iPhone

by Mike Schramm (Jan 14th, 2010)

I've been reading the Unplggd blog from Apartment Therapy a lot lately, because I recently moved into a new place and am trying to fill it up with cool stuff. And someone over there must be an iPhone fan, because I've seen not one but two great and simple tricks for the iPhone there recently. The ...

TUAW Review: Livespeakr

by Cory Bohon (Feb 10th, 2009)

Last year we reported that Livespeakr, an innovative set of speakers for iPhone, would soon begin looking for a manufacturing partner. In the latter portion of the year, we were suprised to learn that the Livespeakr would begin shipping as soon as January 2009 -- which they did. We now have our ...

New iPod touch includes speakers, Nike+

by Robert Palmer (Sep 9th, 2008)

In its "Let's Rock" event today, Apple introduced three new iPod touch models, all of which are available today. $229 will get you 8GB of storage, $299 will buy 16GB, and $399 scores 32GB. That's knocking $70 to $100 off the price of each. The form factor is very slightly thinner, and has a similar ...

As an entertaining Friday afternoon aside to our discussion earlier this week about how to recover data from a dying hard disk, it turns out there's plenty of uses left for the ones that have finally stopped pining for the fjords. With this tutorial from HacknMod, you can turn your hard disk ...

LiveSpeakR to give your iPhone a boost

by Cory Bohon (Feb 20th, 2008)

The speaker on the iPhone isn't too shabby, but that's not to say that users don't want to blast their music, right? Well, you can always buy some iPod/iPhone friendly external spears to plug your iPhone into, but some of us want portability! Erik Groset, the 23 year-old creator of the LiveSpeakR, ...

Bye bye, HiFi

by Mike Schramm (Sep 5th, 2007)

As many of our readers have noted, the iPod HiFi is no more. Goodbye little (big?) Apple speaker, we knew ye not very well. The original release of the thing was a "bit of a letdown" in the first place, and the combination iPod dock-slash-speaker system never really took off. Anyone who was ...

Hoodry Pink iPod speaker

by Erica Sadun (Apr 19th, 2007)

Mother's day is just around the corner. Why buy roses when you can pick up a limited edition pink hoody iPod speaker for a mere 120 bucks? It's practically the same color as that old Mother's Day standby red geraniums, but it's way cuter. Unfortunately, when I say "limited" it means that they are ...

The I-Deck brings some old school to the iPod

by David Chartier (Jul 18th, 2006)

Feeling like something's missing from the digital age of music, with our lists of albums and artists in iTunes and tiny deck-of-cards sized iPods that fit our entire music collections in our pockets? The I-Deck might just be the fusion of old and new school for you. The album art you see is ...

Mac Classic Hi-Fi

by Dan Lurie (Jul 14th, 2006)

This is brilliant. Absolutely awesome. Simon realized that begging for an iPod Hi-Fi probably wasn't going to get him anything but scorn and pity from his friends, so he decided to take matters into his own hands. Armed with two ceiling speakers used for sorround sound systems, two original Mac ...

Turn your iPod packaging into a speaker

by Dave Caolo (Mar 21st, 2006)

It's good to be frugal. Waste not, want not, right? If that's your credo, then check this out. Basically, it's a tiny, box-shaped speaker that fits just beautifully inside an iPod box. Just connect your iPod to the speaker box with an audio cable and enjoy the heart-pounding mono sound! You can pick ...
