LaCosaNostra Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/11/24/ip...cessory_update/ North American iPod users can now blast the music collections to the whole street courtesy of accessory maker Digital Lifestyle Outfitters (DLO)'s latest add-on for the digital music device. Actually, 'add-on' seems too small a word. The iBoom is an entire ghettoblaster with a handy slot in which to drop Apple's miniscule MP3 player. DLO iBoom The unit accommodates all iPods, old and new, classic and Mini, with the exception of the iPod Photo. A button flips the machine's amplifier between the integrated FM radio - with four station pre-sets - and the iPod, the latter controlled from its own clickwheel. The beefed up sound is pumped out of four speakers. For outdoor listening, the iBoom can take six D-size batteries. Indoors, there's an AC adaptor to use, which also charges the iPod while it's in the boombox. DLO is selling the iBoom through CompUSA stores and online via dlodirect.com. The unit retails for $150. Separately, Hungarian in-car audio specialist Denison this week unveiled an update to its ice>Link adaptor for car stereos. ice>Link connects an iPod to headunits that support an auxiliary input for CD changers. The upshot: you can use your motor's cassette or CD player to control the iPod and play the songs it holds. The newly announced ice>Link Plus builds on the current version by utilising the iPod's screen as a secondary display device, and even patches iPod clickwheel and button presses back onto the host car audio system. The new version can also use the iPod itself as a firmware update source, grabbing updates copied first from a PC or Mac to the iPod. Denison has also introduced a line of mounting units for third- and fourth-generation iPods and iPod Minis, which hook up via the dock connector. A plug-in combo Firewire/remote control/earphone unit is available for first- and second-generation iPods. <hr> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herbivore Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 Bose is waaaay too overpriced for the quality they provide... most of their products contain the same components as no-name products that sell for a fraction of the price. they're like the designer brand name of electronics that people pay an arm and a leg for just because it's so damn expensive... it MUST be good.

Nekro Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 Also, the fact that this is marketed and sold as a "ghetto blaster" automatically strips it of any "ghetto" credibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 No, it IS ergonomical. It's made to fit better over your shoulder, so it doesn't sit square, unbalanced, and uncomfortable like old school ghetto blasters. And that is PRECISELY what makes it homo.

Quoted post man, ghetto blasters or "blasta's" as i have decided to call them have to be all gaudy and hurty on your shoulder, thats what makes them ghetto, so you are right and if imma spend money on them shits, im bettin bose, or just hookin an ipod to a real "BLASTA" , fuckin ghetto as fuck,,,,,,ghettox2 blasta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeking Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 wow, i didnt even consider someone might carry that thing over their shoulder. i suppose in that respect it is 'ergonomical' because it has a bit of a divit for your shoulder, but it still looks gay as fuck, which is...well....sorry nekro, 'homo'.
