Übergizmo: Bose systems are rarely cheap, let alone affordable to the average Joe, but that doesn’t mean the company cannot turn a profit as it has been in business all these years as the rich and famous lap up their devices and audio systems without thinking twice about the financial damage. Well, the company is back with three more 5.1 systems, namely the V35, V25 and T20, where all of them will boast a new “Unify” technology which supposedly makes “connecting speakers and sources, programming remotes, and accessing content easier and faster than ever before.” No idea on how easy that will be – as if color codes and using simple logic of seeing which connector fits into which port isn’t enough. Guess money can’t really buy brains either, where you will need to fork out $3,299, $2,499 and $1,999 for the V35, V25 and T20, respectively.

Cnet UK:  Two thousand pounds might sound a mindboggling amount of money to spend on an audio device, but when you tot up what goes into a NaimUniti, it starts to make a wee bit more sense. There’s nothing quite like this on the market anywhere, at any price. First and foremost, the Uniti will take your audio, amplify it and pump it out of some speakers — which you have to provide too.

It also grabs hold of radio from virtually any source, be it FM, DAB or even Internet radio stations. Radio stations that have a listen again feature, such as those from Absolute Radio and the BBC, can simply be selected from the audio menu, meaning you no longer have to actually hear shows live to enjoy them. While this isn’t a brand-new feature, it’s still fabulous to have access to all that content at any time and trust us — it will change the way you use radio. Read more…

Slashgear: The BooM1 seems to have borrowed the design from Alienware computers.  It’s a 2.1 channel audio system for the iPod featuring Bluetooth connectivity for phones with A2DP support.

The BooM1 has a built-in amplifier and bunches of secret acoustic technologies ensuring the best performance.  It should be compatible with most models of iPod with a dock connector (including iPod G3, G4, G5, mini, shuffle, nano, video and U2).  There’s no mentioning of support for the iPhone.  Your iPods will automatically charge when docked (except for the iPod shuffle).

The BooM1 comes in black or white, and it is available for 129 euro.
