Specktone iPod speakers for that 70s show

I know what you hip cats are thinking: another day, another iPod accessory. Maybe so, but if you're a fan of the "something old, something new" look, then Speck has an all new toy for you to fiddle with. The SpeckTone is an iPod speaker dock clad in retro styling, reminiscent to some of the 1950s and to others of the 1970s. Maybe it's just certain elements that bring about those particular sentiments, but the "retro" message is clear.

The sound produced is said to be "richer" as a result of analogue innards (read: marketing speak for let's see if we can get some people that way). The 28 watt speaker and 4-inch subwoofer seem to be reasonably adequate. In any case, there's a good chance that it sounds better than your old transistor radio, but what do I know. The green backlit volume knob may be a little too prominent, as well as the large logo on the left side, but that very well could just add to its charm.

Stealth Cam STC-DVIR5 Prowler Infrared Night Vision Digital Camera

Looking more like some sort of high-tech weapon resulting from some top secret military project, the Stealth Cam STC-DVIR5 Prowler infrared digital camera, apart from looking the business, is not only capable of capturing standard day time imagery at 5 Mega Pixel resolutions but it also capable of taking infrared enhanced night imagery in either still or video format at resolutions of up to 2 Mega Pixels without a flash at distances of up to 50 feet thanks to its 42 inbuilt infrared emitters.



Coming with a nine shot burst mode, date and time (as well as moon phase and temperature) image stamping, the Stealth Cam Prowler comes with a built in two inch LCD screen and a paltry 32MB of internal memory which, thankfully, can be supplemented with an SD card up to 2GB and, whilst we would be the first to admit that the specifications are not exactly mind blowing we are willing to forgive the Prowler its limitations on account of the fact that the night photography it produces is frankly startling (and, besides that, with its distinctly robust styling we suspect that it does not take criticism especially lightly).

Leica M3 mini

The German company Leica is a name steeped in tradition – the first ever practical 35mm was a Leica after all.

The original Leica M3 model was unveiled in 1954 (29 years after the first Leica camera) and was considered, at the time, wholly revolutionary and it would not be an exaggeration to credit this particular model as being the forerunner of SLRs as we know them today.

Now, thanks to Minox, you can own a beautifully crafted mini reproduction of the Leica M8 which fuses unmistakable Leica styling with up to the minute digital technology. (True Leica aficionados may well be scowling at the very thought of it, but its difficult not to see this as being a fitting tribute to the M3).




The , which measures in at a mere 7.4cm x4.7cm x 4.4cm, boasts a 3.2MP pixel sensor (5MP effective with interpolation), 4x digital zoom, 32MB of built in memory (expandable via an integral SD memory card slot), as well as USB connectivity and a 1.5 inch TFT display.

Admittedly, as far as specifications are concerned, it’s hardly jaw dropping, but it’s hardly been designed to serve as your primary camera. This is a fun, compact camera that, due to its diminutive proportions, is easy to carry and use for those every day captures of friends and family – a role in which we don’t doubt it would excel.
