			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lasonic&#8217;s <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PHGO6zC64Q">931 TRC</a> was one of the most popular boombox models in the late 80s. With the death of the cassette tape the company released an update on the 931 TRC called the I931X Classic, which played audio files and had an iPod dock in place of a tape deck. The I931X Limited has the exact same features as the Classic, except it has a shiny gold finish.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-80936" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/lasonic-I931x-gold-boombox-ipod-dock.jpg" alt="lasonic I931x gold boombox ipod dock" width="600" height="476" title="lasonic I931x gold boombox ipod dock photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-80935"></span>Aside from the iPod/iPhone dock, the I931X can play MP3 files over its two 15W speakers via USB or SD/MMC storage devices or through a device plugged into its auxiliary 3.5mm input jack. It also has an alarm clock function. So hip-hop. Thankfully, it still retains its granddaddy&#8217;s AM/FM radio function and headphone and microphone inputs. It can be powered via AC, but like all boomboxes it can also be powered by batteries.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-80937" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/lasonic-I931x-gold-boombox-ipod-dock-2.jpg" alt="lasonic I931x gold boombox ipod dock 2" width="600" height="481" title="lasonic I931x gold boombox ipod dock 2 photo" /></p>
<p>Put on your your fingerless gloves and head to Lasonic&#8217;s <a href="http://www.veentage.com/products-page/lasonic-i931x-limited/lasonic-i931x-gold/">Veentage</a> to order the I931X Limited for €284 (~$366 USD). Or not; it&#8217;s currently sold out but the shop promises to have 50 more units available by the end of January. I&#8217;m sure those will sell out fast as well so keep checking that link if you really want your own unit. But if you&#8217;re willing to settle for a less shiny unit, you can always get the <a href="http://www.veentage.com/products-page/lasonic-i931x-classic/">I931X Classic</a>, which is slightly cheaper at €249-€269 (~$321-$347 USD).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>iHome has one of the largest ranges of iPod and iPad docks around. The company has added one more offering to that range today with a new dock called the iP3. The new device has Bongiovi Digital Power Station tech inside with 50W of power if you&#8217;re looking for some serious sound.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-39744  aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/ihomeip3-tb.jpg" alt="ihomeip3 tb" width="600" height="388" title="ihomeip3 tb photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-39743"></span></p>
<p>The dock will charge and play tracks from the iPhone or iPod when docked and has 3.5&#8243; coaxial neodymium speakers inside. An adjustable EQ allows the user to customize the sound and the device has an AV out jack. Other features include a line-in jack, a remote control, and backlit buttons.</p>
<p>The 50W amp is a class D power amplifier and will make this one of the  more powerful iPod docks around. The bass should be very nice from the  iP3, too. The docking station measures 14.81&#8243; x 5.71&#8243; x 6.23&#8243; and works with any dockable iPod and the iPhone. The device is shipping right now over at <a href="http://www.ihomeaudio.com/iP3">iHome</a> and sells for $199.99 (USD).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is why the people at Amazon are rich while the rest of us are earning debts: Amazon exclusives. Sheer Genius. So what should you pay them for next? Punch those credit card numbers in you sucker you, because <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001E8QLGO?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=technabob-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001E8QLGO">Speakal&#8217;s iPig iPod Dock</a> is here.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-10479 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/piggyfront.jpg" alt="piggyfront" width="520" height="784" title="piggyfront photo" /></p>
<p>Look at that cute little Amazon exclusive. But the iPig isn&#8217;t just endearing: his little 6&#8243;x 5&#8243;x 6&#8243; piggy body contains 5 speakers &#8211; a 4-inch subwoofer, two tweeters, and two 1.5-inch mid-range drivers &#8211; with 25 watts of total output.</p>
<p>Then there&#8217;s its dock, which is compatible with most current iPod models: iPod mini; iPod nano 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G; iPod classic 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, 5.5G, 6G; iPod touch 1G, 2G; iPhone 1G, 3G. That creepy smile lights up when iPig is turned on and blinks whenever iPig is given a command.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-10480 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/piggybutt.jpg" alt="piggybutt" width="520" height="520" title="piggybutt photo" /></p>
<p>As you can see, even if you don&#8217;t own an iPod the iPig can still play your music via its 3.5 mm auxiliary input. The rest of the switches on iPig&#8217;s butt are self-explanatory, but what do you make of this?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-10481 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/piggyears.jpg" alt="piggyears" width="520" height="520" title="piggyears photo" /></p>
<p>That&#8217;s one of iPig&#8217;s ears, specifically its right ear. Touch it to raise the volume, and touch its left ear to lower the volume. This is what Speakal calls <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">a gimmick</span> &#8220;Humanized Touch Volume Control&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-10491 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/4pigs.jpg" alt="4pigs" width="520" height="530" title="4pigs photo" /></p>
<p>The iPig is available in all known colors in the universe, as long as it&#8217;s white, yellow, pink and limited edition black. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001TDKNNQ?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=technabob-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001TDKNNQ">Black iPig</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=technabob-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B001TDKNNQ" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" title=" photo" /> can be yours for $130 USD, while the other versions are slightly cheaper at $120 USD. And frankly, iPig really needs your support right now, because according to Amazon 89% of people who view iPig actually end up buying <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001N2CNW2?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=technabob-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001N2CNW2">iPanda</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=technabob-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B001N2CNW2" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" title=" photo" />.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-10483 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/ipanda.jpg" alt="ipanda" width="520" height="551" title="ipanda photo" /></p>
<p>True story.</p>
