Everything now is going wireless, so maybe the creators are finally starting to realize no one likes wires all over their desk. The music is broadcast from the dock to the speakers via 2.4 GHz frequency, which basically means if you have a 2.4 GHz phone in proximity to these speakers, you’ll get sporadic noises when you’re talking on the phone; it sucks. The thermos, I mean speakers, provide 360 degree sound while using a performance class D amp for supreme sound. For all you guys who like LEDs, the bottom of the speakers are lined with them, so you can see the speakers in the dark…right. Luckily enough there is a remote so you don’t have to get up and change the song when you’re buds are over and it starts playing Britney Spears. As of now there is no word on pricing, but if you like Thermos in your house, in view of the public, then you should probably get these. Trust me on the 2.4GHz thing, I know from experience. — Nick Rice

Kenwood Digital Wireless Speaker System [Newlaunches]

Here’s Kenwood’s answer to iPod. Why do we care? Well, I am going to tell you that this is the smallest harddisk-based media player in the world. We’re not talking about 1,2,4 or 8GB, we’re talking about a 10GB. So you have a 1″ HDD and a square color screen packed into the 62×44x17mm package with 24 hours of juice. What you wouldn’t expect are the “Clear Digital Amp” and “Supreme Sound Engine” technologies built in, these are supposed to smooth out some audio compression artifact. So far, all professional reviews have come back quite positive. Oh the best part is that Kenwood does not force you to install any annoying softwares, you can simply drag your music across your Windows Explorer. If you are a goodie goodie, you can still use the Windows Media Player to manage your WM DRM10 files. The Kenwood Media Keg HD10GB7 is retailing for about 450 USD in Japan today, as usual the company has no plans to export such great device. — Sam Chan
