Grace Digital Audio has new range of Internet radios



Grace Digital Audio intends to upgrade its range of Internet radios by keeping up with the times – and we’re talking about including a color display this time around. CES 2011 will be the platform where the Solo Touch, Bravado X, and Mondo Internet radios are unveiled, where the entire Grace Digital product line includes internet radio services Pandora, Sirius XM Internet Radio, CBS Radio, iheartradio, Live365.com, MP3Tunes, NPR, National Weather Service, WeatherBug and Rhapsody. Enough about the services already though, we will prefer to have a look at what the three Internet radios offer on paper, at least.

The Solo Touch is a compact tuner device that touts to offer you complete control over the world of Internet radio directly on your home stereo, sporting a 4.3” touchscreen color display with a remote control for couch potatoes. Other hardware specifications of this $249.99 device include Ethernet connection, RCA out jacks and a headphone connection.

As for the Bravado X, this Wi-Fi-enabled tabletop radio will deliver powerful sound with a user friendly 2.7″ color TFT display, carrying with it RCA in/out jacks, USB connectivity, and a headphone connection, all going for $179.99 a pop.

Last but not least would be the $169.99 Mondo, where it has been positioned to be the perfect bedside Internet radio, offering best in class audio and a vibrant 3.5-inch TFT color display. As any good bedside radio should be, this model sports snooze control for heavy sleepers and a full alarm clock function, while the rest of the specifications are a remote control, Ethernet connectivity, RCA out jacks, and a USB connection. With so many choices to choose from, which would you head for?

Change your bike’s gears, with your mind

Image
Lately, I have been teaching my son to ride a bicycle, and it reminds me of my days of awkward bike riding. I remember that I had a hard time with changing the gears, but what if I could do it with my mind? Parlee Cycles is apparently working on a concept bicycle made of carbon fiber that does just that. It is part of Toyota Prius Projects, and it uses a helmet equipped with neurotransmitters to read a wearer’s brainwaves. A wireless transmitter attached to the bike’s seat post gets the signal, and changes the gear. As you might of guessed, this is still a concept. In fact, the developer hasn’t quite got the brain control working and still using a smartphone for the controls. I have heard of neuro-controls being used before, but I am guessing the technology isn’t quite as good as Bluetooth. Still, I am wondering if putting a brain control on a bike’s gears is putting too much technology where it doesn’t belong. If we are going to electronically make a way for a

Wi-Fi Connected Power Strip

Image
If you are like me, you have “that desk” in your house that is sort of the hub for digital information. On the desk is a laptop or desktop computer, and all kinds of accessories. Chances are, all of these devices are plugged in to a power strip, and they are a source of great power consumption on your monthly electric bill. This power strip by Japan-based Ubiquitous is the iRemoTap, and it has a built-in Wi-Fi module. The purpose of the Wi-Fi is so it can send information to connected devices in the household. The iRemoTap can automatically send out some sort of message like an email or tweet so you know how much energy that you are consuming. In fact, you can program this thing for a preset level, so you can make energy goals and hopefully keep them. I guess you will have to know what levels your devices have, of course. I don’t really know that off the top of my head. So is this the wave of the future? All of us knowing how much power we consume and making

iMM514 ArtStation Pro

Image
I’ve seen some products from iLuv before, and the iMM514 ArtStation Pro is good for turning an iPad into a home theater. As you can see, the iPad is mounted in an articulated swiveling arm so you can position it at whatever angle you want, in landscape or portrait mode. In case you are wondering why there is such a big base, it is because it has a huge stereo speaker. In other words, this base has bass. There is also a wireless remote for volume and skipping tracks, and it looks like there are some controls on the base for when you lose the remote. As I mentioned before, iLuv has put out a lot of Apple accessories, and I will have to admit that this is one of the most unusual that I have seen. In fact, I am not even sure what kind of aesthetic that this is. The arm thing reminds me of Technic Lego pieces. I suppose the case is like a big Lego brick without and studs on it. Nice. By the way, this isn’t just for the iPad. The iMM514 ArtStation Pro is compatible
