When your head aches, you pop a pill, right? The same is true when your stomach aches or you catch a fever. In fact, even as simple as catching a cold or cough, you also pop a pill to relieve you from the discomfort. There are actually a lot of things that one can do in order to get relief from various medical conditions which are often brought by stress, but the simplest and the most common is by popping a pill. And so, Gavio has thought about the same concept when they created The Pill, only that this pill is not made for popping but for enjoying music, which is also one best form of getting stress relief.

Take a look at the image above and there’s no wonder why it’s named as such. But The Pill is not your typical pill, it’s actually a docking speaker for your iPod Nano 6th Gen. You see, whether you’ve experienced it or not, music can do wonders to our body system. When we get up in the morning and listen to some upbeat music, we feel upbeat too, right? And when we’re off to bed at night and play some classical or slow music, we feel relaxed and dozed off to sleep because of the soothing music, right? So really, music can do a lot for us, and for some depressed people, it can actually do more than just relaxing the mind and body, it can also heal.

Have an Explosive Audio Experience with USB Bombshell MP3 Player

By phoebz on Dec 27, 2011 No Comments

At first glance, you’d probably wonder why it’s called USB Bombshell MP3 Player. Perhaps, you’re like me, thinking that it’s more appropriate to call it as dynamite MP3 player. Well, the latter doesn’t sound so encouraging to own, I guess. That’s why manufacturer of this, which is Brando, decided to go for USB Bombshell. Hmmm. But why is it silver colored? Dynamites are usually red or brown in color, right? Anyway, whether dynamites are red, brown, or silver, the color doesn’t really matter because this MP3 player is just a dynamite-look-a-like, not an explosive of some sort.

So, would you want to have this USB Bombshell? It’s actually not the type that you’d want to carry around everytime. But it’ll definitely make a nice addition to your room if you are into weird yet funny stuff. Play your favorite playlist whenever you’re bored, and you’ll get entertained in an instant, giving you an explosive audio experience like never before.

But aside from being an MP3 player, the USB Bombshell works as a portable speaker too. Since it can easily connect to all iPods, MP4, MP4, MD, CD player, notebook, PC, PSP, PDA, and mobile phones, you can start enjoying great sound from any of your devices without the hassle of connecting too many wires. It can read SD(HC), SD, and USB flash drives too! But if you’re tired of the usual songs your devices play, then enjoy random music with this product since it functions as a radio as well. Cool, isn’t it?

So, what do you think about this? Not too fascinated by its design? Then, check out these related USB speakers at Amazon.

Finger Reader – Forget about Asking

By phoebz on Sep 24, 2011 No Comments

When you go to the mall or grocery store, usually you rely on the saleslady or salesman to assist you when there are some details that you don’t understand about the product. Yes, asking is very common and it may be time-consuming, but it pays to ask than to get the wrong product. But what if every salesperson is busy and there is no one to attend to your needs at the moment? That can be so frustrating, especially if you are in a hurry to complete your shopping or grocery checklist. And so, this is where the Finger Reader comes in.

Basically, the Finger Reader is a reading finger. It gives you total independence when you are out shopping or buying groceries because it provides you with the information that you need such as product description, price, ingredients, nutrition, etc. This product is primarily composed of two parts: the reader and an earphone with Bluetooth technology. The reader can be used after you put your finger into it. There’s a bar code sensor at the end of it and once it gets the information it will be transmitted to you via the earphone’s Bluetooth technology. Amazing, isn’t it?

However, this product is mainly designed for the visually impaired, but you can always make use of it if you want to. For those who are visually impaired, this is of big help because they no longer need to ask sales people to assist them when buying. So yes, that simply means total independence.
