News from Lik Sang



Time is at "multimedia convergence". Apple and Sony consider PSP and iPod to be competing products, Microsoft acknowledged the supremacy of the little iTunes player on the MP3 marketplace by including support for it in the Xbox 360... People listen to music, watch movies and play games. Nothing new under the sun since the 20th century, one might point out, except we now do all that in the digital world, where everything is connected together.

iPod is clearly the number 1 when it comes to portable music and it has already been adopted by millions of technology freaks worldwide. A large share of these gadget-lovers happen to be gamers too and are therefore already on this very web page, buying a PSP, a Nintendo DS, searching for an Xbox 360... or getting bored reading this text. One thing is for sure, if your handheld gaming console fits in one of your pockets, the iPod is probably in the other. I know that for one simple reason: me and my colleagues at Lik Sang are exactly the same

For all of us geek-chic specialists, Lik-Sang.com is now happy to provide all the essential accessories for iPod Video, iPod mini, iPod nano and all other iPod generations, at very affordable prices mind you! The starting line-up covered in this feature already consists of a few dozens of products, and we have several more deliveries of additional cool items that are scheduled for the next couple of weeks. So keep sticking to these very columns for future updates to come.

Docking Stations, Speakers, Stylish Stands

If you have a 3G, 4G, Photo or Mini iPod, un-tether yourself from the headphones and start enjoying music with friends through Logitech's M22 Portable Speakers. Well respected in the PC world for great sounding speakers at a good price, these collapse for easy transport, and come with a deluxe, hard-shell travel case. Running off either 4 AAA batteries or the AC adapter (again travel friendly, supporting 100-240V) you can keep the tunes coming whereever you are. At just US$ 59.90, not only are these for iPod, but the standard 3.5mm stereo jack can also bring new life to your discman, laptop or almost any other audio device.

Feel like kicking it up a notch over the M22 speakers? Logitech's MM50 Portable Speakers work with the brand spanking new 5G Video and nano iPods, plus the Mini, Photo, 4G and 3G. Using 3 inch pressure drivers, these bad boys pump out the bass without getting distorted, while 3-D sound processing widens the stereo experience, making the tunes seem to come from an area around 60 cm (two feet) wider than the speakers themselves. No expense has been spared in this set, with features like a wireless remote, built in rechargeable Li-ion battery which lasts up to 10 hours, and through the worldwide (100-240V) AC adapter, it'll charge both its battery and your iPod simultaneously. Again coming with a custom travel case, you can take the big sound from this small package everywhere and anywhere for US$ 149.90

Toss away your limited home stereo remote, leave those CDs in their cases, Logitech is streaming your iPod music over the wireless. By connecting the receiver to your stereo system with RCA jacks (those red and white ports) or any powered multimedia system with a stereo-mini jack, you can use your iPod to select a playlist, change tracks, and even adjust the volume. Time magazine faced off such wireless music transmitters recently, and this one came out on top, but beyond the home stereo solution, Logitech have wireless headphones letting you enjoy digital music with no strings attached. Integrated controls on the headphones let you adjust the volume, select, play and pause tracks without ever reaching for your iPod, and they'll last up to eight hours per charge, coming with an AC Adapter (110-240V).

Both the wireless stereo set and headphones use 2.4Ghz Bluetooth technology, putting them far beyond the FM quality of iPod in-car transmitters. This also packs a range of up to 10 meters (33 feet!), and frequency hopping technology ensures you always get interference free, crystal clear audio. Finally, instead of draining juice from your iPod, the wireless transmitter even has its own rechargeable battery, and accepting sound from anything with a headphone socket, you can use this is on all iPods or other audio players. Experience total musical freedom at US$ 149.90 for the Wireless Music System, or US$ 119.90 for the Wireless Headphones. ...

Article from Slashdot

TheStreet.com is reporting that the 360 has captured the hype machine for this Christmas season. The PSP, meanwhile, is still struggling for mindshare compared to Nintendo's offerings. From the article: "Sony launched the PSP in the U.S. to great acclaim earlier this year and sold more than half a million units in the first two days. The device marked the first effort by Sony, the leader in the console game industry for the last 10 years with its PlayStation and PlayStation 2 systems, to enter the portable game market, which has been dominated by Nintendo ... Right now, the PSP's threat to Nintendo -- much less to Apple -- remains hypothetical. Sales of the PSP are disappointing thus far, particularly this holiday season. Through the end of October, Sony had sold just 1.6 million of the devices after the first days' sales flurry."
