Yep, another unique docking station. The ideas never end. And they keep getting better. As electronic fanatics we are constantly looking for something new. And greenery is never a bad addition to our environment. Meet the Bloombox. It is a one of a kind docking station providing two major differences. First, it amplifies acoustics by 30%, the designers claim. Save on the volume! Secondly, they have designed the unit to contain a customizable planter for small greenery. Designed by Nicholas Hyde and Brennan Conroy, it is currently listed on Kickstarter for a $50 pledge which funds the mold for production and gets you a unit once produced. They are more than halfway to their fundraising goal to make Bloombox a reality. It is expected to retail for $20 once available (hopefully later this year). Forewarning, it will require use of your own iPhone cord. Think about it. Aesthetically and audiologically it would be a nice addition to any room. And you can add foliage to make it NOT look like another piece of electronic equipment. So get behind a unique take on a docking station and give that little greenery a place to live. Also, it would make a perfect holiday gift for the iPhone user that wants a slightly little different home for their device. [ Green and Gadget-y copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]

| ECOXGEAR pedal powered headlight and smartphone charger for bicycles Posted: 24 Aug 2012 05:30 AM PDT
For starters, the ECOXPOWER will come with an ultra-bright LED front headlight and red rear tail light that are capable of being mounted to your bike's front wheel hub. The included USB adapter cable will run up the front fork and into the handlebar mounted, water-resistant smart phone case. Each time your bicycle's front wheel turns, the ECOXPOWER's clutch engages between the tire's spokes, kickstarting a generator which will power the lighting system, the integrated lithium ion rechargeable battery and the power jack for you smartphone. Talk about efficiency, yo! As for the smartphone case, it is touch-screen friendly and accommodates all major GPS devices and smartphone models, especially those from the iOS and Android camps. Not only that, the ECOXPOWER will also come equipped with an on/off remote switch which can be mounted to the handlebars, delivering full control over the headlight and taillight while on a ride. CEO of ECOXGEAR, Greg Fadul, said, "Typical bike lights have a short life expectancy, most of which are only 10-15 hours or even as low as five if on high brightness. Bicyclist either have to routinely buy batteries, remove the light for recharging, or replace their lights completely. ECOXPOWER is self-powered and with the built-in rechargeable battery, extra costs and inconveniences are non-existent. And if you're using your smart phone for GPS or music on a long ride, you never have to worry about running out of juice." Product Page available on Amazon.com.

| E FUN Premium 7SE tablet targets back-to-school market Posted: 24 Aug 2012 05:00 AM PDT
The E FUN Premium 7SE tablet is a 7" tablet that relies on a user-friendly five-finger multitouch capacitive color screen to get the job done, and you will not find it lacking in terms of its operating system either, as it runs on the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich version, and we are keeping our collective fingers crossed that we might see an Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update coming our way soon, too. You will find that the E FUN Premium 7SE tablet will be preloaded with the Barnes & Noble NOOK Store, GetJar App Store and a 14-day trial of Net Nanny parental controls software to get you started right out of the box. Jason Liszewski, managing director and vice president of sales for E FUN, remarked, "The Premium 7SE is the perfect tablet for students going back to school. It is light, portable and ultra-functional for taking notes, accessing the Internet, sharing information through email and social networks, reading eBooks, and much more. The Premium 7SE is an affordable computing choice for students of all ages." Mobile Flash might be dead, but that has not stopped this tablet from featuring Flash 11 support and over-the-air (OTA) firmware update capabilities. Not only that, you also have a front-facing camera to capture those vanity shots, and a 1080p high-definition video player that delivers quality viewing of favorite movies, and music videos amongst others. The 7" display on the Premium 7SE carries a pixel count of 800×480 with a 16:9 ratio and a G-sensor auto-rotate orientation feature for landscape or portrait viewing. Just in case 4GB of internal memory is not enough, you can always augment that with a microSD memory card. Data can be transferred via mini USB 2.0, and built-in Wi-Fi connectivity ensures you are never out of touch from the Internet. If you are interested in the Premium 7SE, then it can be yours for $129.99 a pop. [ E FUN Premium 7SE tablet targets back-to-school market copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]
