This is the first radio I think I have come across that is made of cardboard and is a fully functional radio/mp3 input player. Did I mention also that this radio is fully recyclable, No! The
Cardboard Radio ($34) was designed by
Christopher McNicholl with the intent to manufacture a design that would make a more green approach once the product had met its end.
The internals of the radio are housed in a simple cardboard structure and the
device itself is also minimally designed, which is somewhat appealing from a
design standpoint. It’s powered by 4 AA batteries or DC power (power
adapter not included). It also comes with two nice retro dials and an audio
jack to allow you to hook up your mp3 player or smartphone.

The
DJM-2000 ($2999) is a pretty expensive mixer but it sits at the top of
Pioneer's DJ line. This mixer which weighs about 20lbs is a heavy duty mixing machine. The mixer as you can see has a sizable multi-touch, multi-fucntion screen sitting just above the crossfader. It also houses everything famous from DJM 800 and E-effect 500 & 1000 and some of the SVM1000. So anyone that has used a Pioneer DJM prior should be able to walk up and use this bad boy. I could just keep telling you more about it but why not just watch these videos below instead.
The
Vita Audio R4 Music System is a beautifully designed sound system, with it's use of a wood frame. It gives it a 70'ish feel to it. It's quality is better then a generic looking dock system with speakers. The Vita Audio R4 Music System ($975) delivers, with a slot-loading CD player, DAB, DAB+ and FM tuners, a top-mounted universal dock, a USB port for playing back music from a thumb drive or hard drive, front and rear auxiliary inputs, an integrated active subwoofer, 80 watts of power output, a docking "RotoDial" remote control. It also comes in gorgeous walnut, white, or gloss black body.
The
Arcade tables ($3,000-$3,400) are the answer to those clunky old video arcade games that only plays one game and take up a lot of space. Not these arcade tables they give a modern look to an old classic without taking up a lot of space. They will blend nicely in your man cave decor. Did I also mention that it comes loaded with 60 classic games so that you can relive that misspent youth of yours and dominate the universe all over again. They are available in Classic, Custom Classic, and modern Stealth models, these cocktail-style tables offer LCD screens, high-quality joysticks, buttons, and sound systems and built-in libraries of classic games.
I know some of you have been waiting for this rumor to become a reality and it has. Sony has officially unveiled the
Xperia Play($TBA). The Xperia Play will be the first PlayStation certified device. The Play will run Android 2.3 Gingerbread, features include a 854×480 pixel capacitive multi-touch TFT LCD display, 5.5 hours of gaming time on a single charge and a 5.1MP camera and a certified Playstation slide-out controller. Powered by 1 GHz Scorpion ARMv7 single-core CPU, 512MB of RAM and comes with an 8GB microSD card. Did I also mention that upon its debut there will be 50 launch titles that will be available plus it will come loaded with a "legendary" Playstation One title, which,
Engadget reports it will be
Crash Bandicoot.
So here becomes the real blur between dedicated mobile gaming devices and smartphones. Let the gaming begin. Is this a phone that you would be willing to rock out?
