Speaker Systems That Take The Stick

Time for some gadget news – Chipchick has an article about a small speaker unit that transforms a USB flash drive into a portable music box. The unit is made by Kinyo, and supports mp3 and wma file formats.

There are times when having a small speaker system is very handy – many mp3-enabled mobile phones now have optional speaker sets available. I bought such a device for my Sony Ericsson K750, and it is nice to have some background music when sitting out in the garden, on the beach, or wherever the rain isn’t…

My Samsung HT-Q20 DVD player has a USB-host feature, whereby it will read a flash drive and play any compatible media thereon. This is a welcome and increasingly common feature on modern home entertainment systems, which allows your DVD-surround sound system to double up as an audio jukebox. Although the unit did eventually read my 100GB external hard drive (after approx 3 minutes loading time), the Samsung menu interface is very clunky and awkward to use, and is really only suited to smaller volumes of music.

If you find yourself in need of some USB charging in your car, then the Brando 3-in-one cigarette lighter adapter may be just what you need. As well as two extra lighter sockets, it also provides a USB port for charging those peripherals…
