Miidio Speakers

Miidio have released three new speakers and they are the UFO, Keg and Little Piggy, they are all ultra compact and are able to plug in and play music from any device which has the standard 3.5 mm audio headphone socket, which means that they will be compatible with your MP3, iPod or laptop.

The Miidio Keg will cost £79.99, the UFO which comes in metal, red & black. [pocket-lint]

iRiver X20

It has 8GB of flash storage and a 22 hour battery life. There is also a microSD card slot for memory expansion.

It has a 2.2 inch screen which is good for watching videos on. But, its not touchscreen, in fact it doesn’t have a single new technology in it except flash memory.

I mean this thing goes so far back its still using the click wheel interface. It does appear to be fairly cheap though retailing for a mere $130. [t3]

NAVIsurfer II

The idea of having an in-car computer just seems a fantastic idea at first, but then is that while the vehicle is moving or standing still. The NAVIsurfer II would be a better-fixed solution than having a laptop sitting around, but if the driver used it or even a passenger while the car is moving…there could be accidents.

The NAVIsurfer II is the first single DIN in-car PC, that means it can replace the OEM stereo unit in just about any car. Other features include the ability to retract fully into the body of the unit, 7″ motorized touchscreen with adjustable viewing angle and swivel, 1024 x 768 pixel resolution, supports Windows XP and Linux (not supplied), 40/120 GB hard drive and 256/512 MB of RAM.

If you install the correct software you can convert this in-car computer to a gaming console, TV, back-up camera monitor, GPS navigation, media server and much more. [NAVIsurfer II]

Sony Bluetooth speaker

I have no idea how well this spherical Bluetooth speaker sounds, but it is by far way better looking than any other Bluetooth speaker I’ve seen, and these things were pretty popular on the CES show floor. Usually Bluetooth speakers are bland, competing on the fronts of thinness, battery power, and then overall sound seemingly the 3rd most important feature.

If you don’t have an A2DP enabled device, there is also a 3.5mm input jack to plug in just about any audio device. This ball also has a built in rechargeable battery so you can leave it plugged in at home or disconnect and take it with you when you go to play ball or to the beach.

No word on price, but its coming out sometime this half of the year. I’ve been looking to get a Bluetooth speaker for on the go use sometime soon, maybe this will be the one if it sounds half as good as it looks.

Metal Gear Solid:Collection for the PS2

Don’t set that PS2 aside just yet. Even though the console has been out since I was in high school, people are still pumping out new titles. It would be great if the PS3 still had decent backwards compatibility, but I digress. The next big release to look forward to is actually a collection of old games. The first three Metal Gear Solid games to be precise.

The release of these games is no doubt a move to build up excitement about the impending release of Metal Gear Solid 4 on the PS3. If you haven’t played one or all of these games, you can bet that it’ll be well worth the money. After all, it’s been labeled as one of the most successful games series of all time (even if it was Konami’s VP of Marketing that labeled it such).

We’re not actually sure when the Metal Gear Solid: Essential Collection will be hitting store shelves. However, we do know that it’ll set you back $29.99, which isn’t bad for what you get. [gamepro]
