Best Buy is giving away free speakers (with the purchase of a gift card)!


 Best Buy Gift Card Talk about the gift that keeps on giving … the speaker is actually built right into the gift card and is super thin and functional enough to actually enjoy what you are hearing. You can plug an iPod, MP3 player, or any device that plays sound and has a plug similar to headphones into this speaker-card. It amazes me that the technology is still getting smaller! Now it is small enough, and cheap enough to be built into a pass along item like a gift card. This will surely be one card that won’t see the inside of a trashcan anytime soon.

If you are giving Best Buy gift certificates this Holiday Season, you might as well give away speakers: www.bestbuy.com

mStation: Power Play in the Home Office

By Jeff Zbar

 mStation Tower About three years ago, my brother changed my life. For my birthday, he bought me a 20-gig iPod, and I immediately set out to load it with all my CDs and thousands of other tunes from my youth.

While the 1,500 (and growing) tunes were just as I’d remembered, something was always missing. My PC speakers just couldn’t deliver the bass response and the crisp highs. And ear buds weren’t designed to yield the rich, full sound that this audiophile was begging for in his home office.

Well, salvation arrived today in a big black box. It’s called the mStation 2.1 Stereo Tower iPod dock. From the same people who brought us the Orb iPod docking station, this is like no other iPod or MP3 “docking station” you’ve ever seen – or lifted – before. Weighing in at nearly 40 pounds of extruded aluminum, it took less than five minutes of set-up time to have this baby blasting out the decibels. It took me more time to choose and slip in the right dock cradle for my iPod (don’t have an iPod? A handy USB port and mini-stereo plug make it adaptable for any non-dockable MP3 player). Read more
