			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m a shower kind of guy, but that doesn&#8217;t mean that I don&#8217;t understand the need for some entertainment if you&#8217;re taking a soak after a long day at work. I like the fact that this little thing gets the job done without spending hundred of dollars on speakers and a system for your bathroom. The iDuck speaker connects wirelessly to your music player and it&#8217;s waterproof.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-52887" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/040311_rg_iDuckSpeaker_01.jpg" alt="040311 rg iDuckSpeaker 01" width="600" height="566" title="040311 rg iDuckSpeaker 01 photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-52886"></span>The iDuck Wireless Speaker is shaped like a rubber ducky and hearkens back to when you were taking a bath as a kid. It&#8217;s got a speaker that can play tunes from your MP3 player, iPod, or iPhone, thanks to an egg-shaped transmitter that connects to your media player&#8217;s 3.5mm jack, and sits safely out of harm&#8217;s way.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-52888" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/040311_rg_iDuckSpeaker_02.jpg" alt="040311 rg iDuckSpeaker 02" width="600" height="600" title="040311 rg iDuckSpeaker 02 photo" /></p>
<p>The duck needs 4 &#8220;AAA&#8221; batteries and the egg needs 3 of them, but that&#8217;s not a bad tradeoff considering that you are saving your iPhone from water damage. The iDuck sells for £25 ($40 USD) from <a href="http://www.red5.co.uk/iduck_speaker.aspx">Totally Funky</a>. I guess that waterproof earphones with a waterproof pouch would also do the trick, but Ernie only approves of this one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the warm weather season finally upon us (sorry Australian and New Zealand readers), you&#8217;re probably hoping to spend lots of time in the pool this Summer. But just because you&#8217;re floating around on an inflatable raft with a piña colada in hand doesn&#8217;t mean you have to be separated from your digital music collection.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-13905 aligncenter" title="waterproof_speaker" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/waterproof_speaker.jpg" alt="waterproof speaker" width="520" height="520" /></p>
<p>This floating wireless speaker from Elima can connect to any Bluetooth device that supports A2DP or AVRCP for transmitting sound. And since it can receive transmissions from up to 10-meters (appx. 30 feet) away, you can set your iPhone or other compatible device over on the poolside table &#8211; or grab an <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref%255F%3Dnb%255Fss%255Fgw%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3Damphibx%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Daps&amp;tag=technabob-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957">underwater case</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=technabob-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" title=" photo" /> and float the whole thing in the pool. The orb-shaped speaker measures about 6-inches in diameter, and features a pair of 2-watt speakers for stereo sound.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-13906 aligncenter" title="waterproof_speaker_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/waterproof_speaker_2.jpg" alt="waterproof speaker 2" width="520" height="342" /></p>
<p>But unlike the guy in the picture above, I wouldn&#8217;t recommend floating this thing in the salt water ocean &#8211; otherwise, glowing  pink musical notes could come flying out of it. Or worse yet&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13907" title="bluetooth_backstreet_boys" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/bluetooth_backstreet_boys.jpg" alt="bluetooth backstreet boys" width="520" height="358" /></p>
<p>If you can bear the thought of buying something that&#8217;s being marketed by mentioning how you can play <em>Backstreet Boys </em>music on it, head on over <a href="http://www.chinavasion.com/product_info.php/pName/waterproof-bluetooth-speaker-swimming-pool-shower-beach/">Chinavasion</a>, and grab one for $40 (USD).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Leave it to the gadget makers at SegaToys to come up with another oddity that could only come from Japan. This wacky bathroom accessory is designed to blow bubbles while you sit in the tub and chill out.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-11626 aligncenter" title="happy_savon_whale_bubbles" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/happy_savon_whale_bubbles.jpg" alt="happy savon whale bubbles" width="520" height="464" /></p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.segatoys.co.jp/happy-savon/">Happy Savon</a> (savon = French for soap) looks like a little white whale, and fills sits on the edge of your bathtub blowing bubbles as you take a soak. Just fill the miniature <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cetacea">cetacian</a> with any liquid soap or shampoo and flip on the power. For smelly bubbles, just add a tiny bit of aromatherapy oil to the mix.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-11631 aligncenter" title="segatoys_happy_savon" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/segatoys_happy_savon.jpg" alt="segatoys happy savon" width="520" height="520" /></p>
<p>Despite the water mammal shape and the bathroom theme, the battery-operated whale isn&#8217;t submersible, so don&#8217;t try and float it in the water unless you want a dead whale in your tub. You&#8217;ll also want to be careful to aim the bubbles towards your tub, unless you want a slippery mess all over your bathroom tile floor &#8211; the last thing you need when you step out of the tub.</p>

<p>Regardless of the hazards, the <a href="http://www.engrish.com">Engrish</a> marketing materials say it&#8217;s <em>Relax Romantic Fantasy</em> &#8211; so how could you go wrong? You can find the Happy Savon whale bubble blower over at the <a href="http://www.japantrendshop.com/happy-savon-bubble-blower-p-457.html">Japan Trend Shop</a> for $63 (USD).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This gadget takes your ordinary bathtub and brings it to life in a cascade of moving water and bright colors.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/aquarain.jpg" alt="aquarain"  title="aquarain photo" /></p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.happinetrobin.com/kaden/litica/aquarain.html">AquaRain</a> is a battery-powered device that floats along the surface of your bathwater and sprays a geyser of constantly recirculating water into the air in a couple of different patterns. Add to that a set of three color-changing LEDs, and you&#8217;ve got yourself a serious light show in your tub.</p>
<p>While it might not come close to the fountains at the <a href="http://www.bellagio.com">Bellagio</a> in Las Vegas, it&#8217;s should offer enough of a display for most bathtubs. The AquaRain is available now from <a href="http://www.ncsxshop.com/cgi-bin/shop/HPN-AQRN.html">NCSX</a> for $39.</p>
