The iPod touch easily snaps into the case, which provides a very small but still obvious protective front lip. It covers the Sleep/Wake and volume buttons without diminishing the tactility too much. What’s impressive in comparison to Reveal is how the bottom edge is handled: instead of just a single […] Read the original post…

Google Multiplatform Chief Sundar Pichai announced that Google Play Music All Access will launch for iOS “a couple weeks from now.” Google Play Music All Access is Google’s new streaming music service, and currently offers unlimited access for $8 a month; the price will jump to $10 a month in […] Read the original post…

The core of Urchin is made from hard, dark grey plastic. It’s mostly solid, although a five-inch long oval reveals the two speaker drivers. Directly beneath them are physical buttons that allow you to adjust the volume, initiate Bluetooth pairing, and turn the unit on and off. Most people will […] Read the original post…

V5AP’s single most intriguing characteristic is its unusual shape, which doesn’t mimic the typical box, trapezoid, and bulge designs we’ve seen in most other AirPlay all-in-one speakers.

We won’t dive fully into the pre-release history, but we’d bet the developers at Briefs LC are excited to see that Briefs ($200) is finally available in the Mac App Store.

While we were less than entirely wowed by the earlier, plasticy SoundDocks, the SoundLink II’s trim helps to elevate what could otherwise have been a very austere design.
