This could will take the whole mobile DJ thing to another level.
Pandas are always in the news. It seems they don’t like to mate and they’re not as cuddly as most people think. But they’re cute as hell. Just in time for the holidays comes the iPanda speaker that’ll surely appeal to the animal lover on your holiday gift list. This docking station features five speakers; including a four-inch subwoofer, adjustable bass control, 360° sound distribution and unparalleled design elements. It retails for $199. Aw! How cute!
If you were intrigued by the Hello Kitty speakers we told you about in September, then the nano DJ turntable will probably be the high on your holiday wishlist. Coming straight out of Tokyo from the Nikkeijin at Strapya World, the 3-inch lil’ gizmo attaches to your cell phone strap (an accessory that’s de rigeur in Asia) and plugs into your iPod or MP3 player. As a song plays, you can add effects or scratches to your fave jams and pretend that you have the skills of Z-Trip or A-Trak. The mini deck works for three hours on a single charge via a USB connection to your computer, and it’s available in red, black and silver. The price? ¥2,940 or US $29.99. Mini DJ mixer not included.
Hello Kitty has made its way into the DJ market. Since the iconic cat is emblazoned on toilet seat covers, toasters and rice cookers, it was inevitable, right? The Hello Kitty DJ Speaker features Hello Kitty in a mini DJ booth, and she bops her head back and forth to the beat of the music charged by your MP3 player, iPod or CD player (does anyone still use them?). The speaker sells for $25 and is available in pink and black.
