This is a great idea, stick a speaker on any surface you like.These SoundPads will stick to your wall, posters, bookshelves, the ground, wherever you need them to stick. Each time you switch the location/surface it will give a different sound.
It's a perfect solution to put your music where you want it.
The only disadvantage is that when it's stuck, it stays there. It would have been better if we could just stick it in the kitchen when we're cooking and then peal it off and stick it on our living room wall. Unfortunately that does not work, so maybe that's a good idea for a future enhancement.
Priced at $18 a piece it's cheap enough to buy a few, maybe 2 for each room in your house?

If you're anything like me you're probably spending all your summer evenings in the garden, eating barbecue with some friends.It's always nice to have a little background music and that's what the next gadget is built for. Transmit your songs from your iPod or any other mp3 player to this wireless garden speaker. The distance between sender and receiver can reach up to 70 metres.
It is splash proof so you can put it close to a swimming pool (though not recommended for obvious reasons).
It features a left, right or mono switch which makes it perfect if you're using two of these. If you want a cool stereo effect, you can position the players perfectly in your garden.
The battery lasts about 6 hours. This gadget works with any standard 3.5mm jack connection.
Available on Totally Funky for $100.

First of all, to me this gadget makes no sense. Why would you waste bandwidth by listening to the radio on the internet if you can just use a normal radio?Sure you might want to listen to a foreign radio station, but why? This Phoenix wifi radio works straight out of the box and setup is pretty easy.
It will scan for access points and all you have to do is check which one you want to use. Once it's connected to the internet, you'll be able to listen to up to 10,000 radio stations and 5,000 podcasts.
Another cool feature is the alarm clock, which has a snooze and a sleep function. The Phoenix Wi-Fi radio comes with 4 rechargeable batteries, and operates via AC power as well.

We have come across all sorts of mp3 players. Not once did we see an mp3 player that floats on water! The mp3 player is waterproof and capable of floating on the water, it's like a rubber ducky that can sing your favorite melodies.
The water resistance rates match the Japanese Standard, giving this player a limit of about 30 minutes under the water with a maximum depth of 1 meter.
The files are transferred via USB - just make sure you get it out of the water before you attach it to your computer.
This player is powered with 4AA batteries which do not cause any harm, meaning that there is no way you will die of electrocution while this thing is floating in the water.
Wouldn't it be cool to put one of these in your pool, on a hot summer day?
256MB memory, plays MP3 and WMA

These days everything is wireless, from your internet connection to a cleaning robot. Sony has come up with a way to transmit sound from your favorite mp3 player (sony's mp3 players?) to your ear buds without the use of a wire.Sony wants to use the body to transmit the sound. The human body communication system and communication device uses an electric field, which sends audio signals through your body to your ears (which is supposed to be harmless for the health of your body).
For the time being, bandwidth limitation prevents anything higher than 48 kbps ATRAC3-plus audio signals from being transmitted.
