Who iHeart’s this iPod jewelry box?
January 8th, 2011 | by Zara Stone
If you grew up on a diet of Disney, waiting for your Prince to come this might be the jewelry box of your dreams, for others it’s a glittery piece of kit that brings a little vomit to the mouth. The iHeart Jewelry box combines a heart shaped jewellery box with an iPod dock and integrated speaker. You have a rather pretty mirror finish on the outside, and a heart shaped mirror situated within the lid. You get 2 2watt speakers, and you can also listen to tunes via headphones as there is a 3.5mm jack. The controls are very basic, but provide you with everything you need- and you use heart shaped buttons to control everything! It’s compatible with every iPod and iPhone product, all the way back to the 1st generation of Nano! Little girls will love it, everyone else might find it a little too bling. Available from Mono Concept- no sign of a US price or availability
The Ectaco jetBook Oxford+ educational eReader
January 8th, 2011 | by Zara Stone
I’ve always thought that the natural place for eBook readers resides in schools, if only to prevent kids from the terrible backache caused by heavy backpacks. Ectaco have just announced an eReader especially for schoolchildren, the jetBook Oxford+ / jetBook K-12 (they don’t seem to have made up their mind on the title). What immediately strikes you about this is the design- it comes in its own stand with penholders and the Ectaco C Pen arranged to its side. It’s quite an eye-catching design, and the finish is ruggedized, to cope with all those knocks and bumps in the playground. The jetBook Oxford + comes preinstalled with a selection of books from the reading lists of states countrywide and has a 5 inch TFT screen, is 15mm thick and weighs in at 220g. It has been designed with the education system in mind, and this is evident from the number of thoughtful features included in the device. The included Ectaco C=Pen allows you to scan printed text and upload it to the eReader, which will enable students to put the majority of work they get given on their device, and get rid of all those ‘the dog ate my homework’ excuses.
