Gimme Tunes: Stylish (Yet Craptastic) USB Speakers for Fashionistas

Range — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 12:57:06 +0000

I’ve seen speakers come in a bunch of different shapes, but stiletto heels? While these Gimme Tunes speakers aren’t a new product, they are certainly distinctive, and a must for every fashion victim. The only thing missing is a brand name on them, like Jimmy Choo or Christian Louboutin.

One of the good things about these speakers is that they are somewhat portable, meaning that they don’t need to be plugged into a power socket. They get their power directly from your laptop’s USB port. They come in a bunch of different colors, including black, red, and pink. Obviously, their shape kind of negates their portability – and it’s not like you can wear them either.

The cheapest we’ve found the Gimme Tunes speakers is at Perpetual Kid for $29.99 (USD). They launched for about $40 last year at CES, but have come down in price at some places, just like last season’s shoes.

Blade Runner Stiletto Cop Heels Make You Want to Get Pulled Over

These futuristic illuminated police stiletto heels are kind of look like a strange fusion of vehicles and shoes. I don’t really know why these are necessary, but hey, if they make police officers more visible they might be relevant at some point.

This concept design for stilettos for police women were designed by artist Tim Cooper and are covered with intricate law-enforcement details, including tiny headlights, turn signals and strobe lights. Pity they’re not real and they’re just a 3D model. Still, if they are ever made, you bet that they’ll be noticed.

They kind of remind me of Blade Runner for some reason.

This new portable radio from SIRIUS enables true on-the-go listening to the satellite radio service.

The SIRIUS Stiletto 100 allows live portable reception of SIRIUS programming and stores up to 100 hours of broadcasts or up to 10 hours of individual songs for later playback (using 2GB of internal memory.)

The $350 Stiletto also has a built-in wi-fi receiver which allows you to listen to a number of internet radio stations when you’re out of satellite range, but in wi-fi range. The player also provides a live recording feature which lets you pause, rewind and replay live broadcasts using a 44-minute buffer. You can also download and store MP3 and WMA files, and the radio support’s Yahoo!’s Music Engine which makes it easy to purchase tracks you heard on the radio.
