If you prefer to enjoy your music while you’re soaking in the tub, this is one speaker that can bob along in the water right with you. It doesn’t just sit on a shelf at a safe distance away from the water, this round speaker can dive into the bathwater and still play your favorite music loud and clear. Which is a bonus for those of you that have the tendency to clumsily knock your electronics into bodies of water.
The MP3 player has an alarm clock, an FM tuner and stereo speakers. On the inside of the protective waterproof cover you can plug in an SD/SDHC card (up to 32GB) or a USB drive. The round speaker can run an SD card for 13 hours, a USB drive for 9 hours and the radio for 28 hours. In order to keep it up and running it requires 6 AA batteries. With having that many it’d definitely be a whole lot more convenient to pick up some rechargeable batteries. It’s priced at about $120, but unfortunately it’s a Japan product. Which means it might be a little difficult to get your hands on.

Considering all of the strange iPhone accessories out there, I wouldn’t blame you if your mind was in the gutter when you saw the picture of this booster stick. After all, it’s not like there isn’t already a sexual iPhone accessory out there. This one is perfectly innocent though and it’ll even work with more than your iPhone. This small tube will make sure that none of your electronics stay dead while you’re away from your computer.
It comes with 2 Eneloop Nickel-Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries. Those small rechargeable batteries will give an approximate run time of 90 minutes. It does not come with a USB cable, you just use the cable that your device came with. It’ll work with anything from music players, to cellphones and onto portable game consoles. The Japanese gadget can be found through the Japan Trend Shop for $45.

Enough time has passed since the
diNovo Edge wireless keyboard debuted that perhaps it’s time for a low(er) priced tribute — a Knickerbockers to Logitech’s Beatles, if you will. To that end, check out the
Rapoo 2900: it sports a built-in touchpad, a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery and docking charger, and a
Bluetooth /
USB dongle. It’s a slight little thing (check out the comparison with a full-sized
keyboard after the break) and it’ll cost you about $86. The best part? Now you have an excuse to say “Rapoo” over and over again.

Sure, not a day goes by without some sort
revolutionary (if not
just plain silly) announcement regarding fuel cells, and
once again it looks like it’s Panasonic’s turn. According to Nikkei, the company will begin volume production of Li-ion rechargeable batteries that use a silicon alloy anode sometime in fiscal 2012. While Si alloy batteries have a tenfold theoretical improvement over current cells that utilize graphite, Panny claims that its device will have an improvement in linear capacity of close to thirty percent — keeping at least 80 percent of its capacity even after 500 charge/recharge cycles. Currently the bad boy is being marketed towards
notebook batteries, although we could be seeing ‘em in our electric cars in the near
future. Catch a couple pictures from the press conference after the break.
