I am quite sure that many of us have heard of id Software before, as they are the ones behind the classic Wolfenstein 3D FPS which was followed up by the Doom series, and just when you thought that things could not get any better, along came the fully 3D Quake and its subsequent sequels. Having said that, what about id America? id America is no gaming house, but rather, they are a premium manufacturer of fashion-forward digital accessories, and their latest announcement would come in the form of the TouchTone. The TouchTone happens to be a portable Bluetooth wireless speaker and speakerphone, where it was specially designed for stylish sound connoisseurs without sacrificing on performance of course.

The TouchTone will arrive in nine different colors to boot, so that you should not be able to find any issue in pairing up the TouchTone with the rest of your home’s decorative plan. Just how easy is it to use the TouchTone? Well, it is said to hook up in a jiffy to compatible smartphones, computers, tablets, iPods or basically any other Bluetooth device in the market, letting you stream and share music, movies, games or calls seamlessly at any time, regardless of where you are.

You might be pretty successful in living the paperless lifestyle at the moment, but a wireless lifestyle is not out of your reach either, and the TouchTone is proof of that. Capable of delivering up to 4 hours of rich, crystal-clear sound, it sports a maximum wireless range of up to 33 feet (without any clear obstructions, of course), and boasts of a performance level which is unparalleled for a speaker of its size. I guess this is where the adage comes in handy, where one does not judge a book by its cover. Coming in a stainless steel and lightweight rubber casing, the TouchTone will be available in black, white, grey, green, blue, mint, pink, red and orange colors at $79.95 a pop.
