iPod mania has reached a new height. Levi's has joined the fashion fray with the announcement of the RedWire DLX that will give tech geeks a whole new reason to trade in their khakis for denims. Goodies include an "invisible" docking cradle, a wire retractor for those knotty earphone wires and, listen to this, a joystick remote located on the watch pocket. Man, this pair of Levi's is literally splitting at the seams with nifty stuff.
Good thing it's coming out only in the latter half of the year, so if we hit the treadmill everyday, we should be able to squeeze into one by then. Hopefully.
MUJI, famous for using raw materials in its "No Brand Goods", shows that even consumer electronics can submit to the MUJI philosophy. So get ready for portable cardboard speakers. What's cool about this is that you can fold them up flat and store them in a plastic pouch till the next time you need some audio oomph out of your music player. Of course, at just US$42, don't expect to coax more than one-dimensional sound out of this accessory.
