Livespeakr Ultra-Portable Speaker System for iPod/iPhone (Black)

admin — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 18:32:47 +0000

Livespeakr is an ultra-portable, multi-functional speaker system that allows you to enjoy up to 16 hours of ultimate sound quality on-the-go. Small enough to fit in your back pocket, Livespeakr boasts a unique "super" cradle to fit most iPods. Livespeakr Features Premium custom speakers prove that amazing sound can come in a small package. Speakers expand, contract, and rotate to work with both portrait and landscape orientations. Advanced audio technology shields against radio frequency/GSM interference. Powered by a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery that lasts up to 16 hours; AC/USB charger included. Sleek retractable aluminum stand on the back provides multiple viewing angles. Rubberized feet prevent the unit from sliding and keep it stable. Low-profile design allows the Livespeakr to be taken anywhere--it can even fit in your pocket! RF Shielding lets you enjoy your Livespeakr without interference from electronic devices. Speakers expand, contract, and rotate to work in both portrait and landscape orientations. Why Livespeakr? Each Livespeakr device features a set of high-quality speakers that expand and contract conveniently into the device as you rotate the cradle. In order to maximize use with any iPhone, Livespeakr is shielded against radio frequency interference. This prevents obnoxious static interference from making an unwanted, distorted guest appearance on all of your favorite tracks. The Livespeakr utilizes a powerful internal rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery with an average lifespan of 14-16 hours as well as an AC adapter to make this one of the most convenient sound systems on the market today. With Livespeakr, you can say goodbye to purchasing AA or AAA batteries. How it Works: The 3-Click System Click 1: Simply slide the media player into the Livespeakr; the speakers are stored and hidden behind the unit for maximum portability. Click 2: Give the unit a gentle rotation, and the Livespeakr rotates 90 degrees to rest in the vertical or portrait position. You'll receive tactile feedback by feeling and hearing a click. Click 3: Another twist will turn the unit another 90 degrees; the speakers will expand and the unit will click into place. The Livespeakr is now in landscape mode for viewing all of your multimedia files. Simply reverse these clicks to put the Livespeakr back into storage. Will Livespeakr Charge My iPod? Livespeakr connects using the headphone jack; therefore, it does not charge your iPhone or iPod. NOTE: Livespeakr does not include an iPhone, iPod, or iPod touch. You must remove any external cases you have on your iPhone/iPod to interact with Livespeakr.

Keurig B30 Mini Personal Single-Serve Brewing System, Black

admin — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 09:23:50 +0000

The Keurig Mini brewer is a great solution for gourmet coffee lovers in locations where a compact size, and minimal features is ideal. It is an excellent companion for vacation homes, cabins, college dorms, boats, RVs, or home office desktops. The Mini is compact, easy to use and brews an 8-ounce cup anywhere you can take it along and plug it in. The mini heats 8 ounces of water in about 3 minutes and then brews just like our regular brewers with no water remaining in the brewer. Now you can enjoy consistently brewed gourmet coffee tea and hot cocoa, virtually anywhere. All Keurig brewers use Keurig's patented K-Cup (dedicated pod-like) single portion packs. K-Cups are "mini-brewers" that eliminate the hassle of grinding beans, measuring coffee, handling filters and messy clean-up while brewing a gourmet cup of coffee or tea in less than one minute. Gourmet coffees, teas and hot cocoa distinguish Keurig from its competition. With over 200 different coffee, tea and hot cocoa varieties from 13 gourmet partners, Keurig is designed to meet the many tastes of hot beverage drinkers.
