Who says the iPod is for mobile music only? Not the folks at iHome, that’s for sure. Here’s our look at the very cool looking iSpeakers (ok i made that up), the iH69 speaker system. This may be a set of speakers worth considering.
iHome, the folks who brought you the hot iPod alarm clocks you’re starting to see in every hotel room similar to this one, is releasing two beautiful new iPod-compatible audio systems. One is small and loud, and the other’s got Bluetooth.
The iH69 iPod Computer Speaker System with Computer Sync, in addition to being a mouthful, is a compact, versatile solution for all your dorm/desktop/bedroom audio needs.The iH69 iPod Computer Speaker System with Computer Sync, in addition to being a mouthful, is a compact, versatile solution for all your dorm/desktop/bedroom audio needs.

Ok, so Pat not only has a way cooler iPod than I do, he also outdid me with his video performance as seen above. Not only does he have a nicer webcam for higher quality presentation, he is also better at public speaking than me. And he didn’t even write a script, so I’m really impressed! Here he shows us his 6th generation iPod classic (available in both black and white). His is the 80 GB, but they also make a 160 GB. He shows us the new album cover flow action (and actually admitted he listens to Culture Club). He concludes that it’s a neat little toy that has provided him with tons of hours of entertainment and suggests we should all go out and get one, too! Available from Apple.com for $249.
Ok, here is my second attempt at video-blogging. It was a spur of the moment thing, so I didn’t write up a script to read or anything. And I simply used my Logitech Quickcam perched on my monitor (that I usually use just for chatting) instead of the FlipCam. In my minute of fame, I show off my new JVC HAFX33P Marshmallow In-Ear Stereo Headphones that I invested in for my iPod nano. I love ‘em and highly recommend them (in my favorite color of pink, of course) for people with deformed ear canals that can’t keep regular earbuds in place. Get yours while they’re on sale at Amazon!
Thanks to Patrick for noticing that I look at myself on the screen while recording instead of looking into the camera. Patience Patrick, practice makes perfect.
I tried to add some text (ie TechTheStyle.com) to the video, but my attempt obviously didn’t work. And how come youtube picks the dumbest frames for the stillshot? My eyes are shut again.
Here is my first attempt at making a video with our FlipCam. My daughter, Tatym, was the cameragirl. I take no liability if you get motion sickness. I’m showing off my new iPod nano that I got free, yes free - I am the queen of freebies. How did I get it free you ask? Simply by signing up for a free Preferred Rewards American Express card. You get bonus points just for using the card one time, so my initial idea was to redeem my points for a gift card, until I saw that the apple iPod nano was an option! All of my kids have iPod shuffles, so I knew they’d be jealous (they are), and I’ve been excited for it arrive, which it did today! My iPod nano is the new style in silver. On Apple.com, they sell for $149 and you have your choice of pink, teal, green, red or black. I would have picked pink if I had the choice. I got the 4 GB (my friends urged me to get 8 GB for more points), but 4 GB holds 1000 songs, and that is way more than I’m sure I’ll need. I have fourteen songs added so far, including the songs I’ve written about on HouseForKim.com.
So, there you have it. Sign up for an AMEX card and get your own for free, or buy your own if you don’t have the patience. Or if you already have one, leave a comment and tell us your opinion! Stay tuned for more videos. Patrick has been buying a lot of new electronic toys, so I’m hoping he will spit out some videos for us.
