Four Device Charging Clock Radio cranks up the efficiency level

four-device-charging-clock-radioWe all like to live as efficiently as possible. Otherwise, how else do you explain the obsession with accuracy as well as punctuality? Not only that, it is all about making sure that as many things as possible get done within the shortest time available. The modern day road warrior has his or her fair share of gadgets, where a smartphone is more or less a given, while other folks tend to complement their handsets with the presence of a tablet as well. Throw in a dedicated GPS unit and another portable USB-powered device, and you’ve got a fair amount of gizmos to juice up at the end of the day. With the $99.95 Four Device Charging Clock Radio, you need not fret on your travels.

As its name suggests, the Four Device Charging Clock Radio will be able to charge up to a quartet of devices simultaneously, thanks to the four USB ports that are available. There will be a trio of docks that are located on top of the clock radio which will ensure that your devices remain upright, while the radio will play music from any one connected device. The dock itself will also be able to play your favorite tunes as long as it is connected to a compatible device, where the dual integrated stereo speakers deliver music to your ears. The entire Four Device Charging Clock Radio takes up less space than a toaster, and comes with built-in power surge protection, an FM radio, an LCD clock, and dual alarms.

Motion Clock Radio

You might have grown up wanting to be a Jedi Master always, but somehow or rather, the amount of midi-chlorians in your body have proved to be insufficient to let you enrol in the Jedi Temple and begin your training as a padawan. Well, if you want to show the world that you still have it in you to be a Jedi Knight one day, then it would be wise to invest in the $49.95 Motion Clock Radio.

Of course, this will run on electric power and a myriad of electronics as well as sensors underneath the hood, so this is good enough only to fool those who live on backwater planets, where they have absolutely no idea on how electronics work. As for the lightsaber, you might not have the knowledge to construct one of your own, but surely you can call up someone from Hasbro to send you one! The Motion Clock Radio no longer requires you to fumble around to look for the snooze button, where all you need to do is wave your hand over it and it will snooze. Need to check the time or temperature? Wave your hand one more time. Pretty cool, no?

Gear4 speaker dock supports USB audio for Jelly Bean at Google I/O 2012

Another day, another speaker dock. We initially dismissed Gear4‘s latest accessory at Google I/O 2012 until we noticed that the attached Nexus 7 was playing audio digitally via the USB port instead of simply through the headphone jack (or wirelessly over Bluetooth for that matter). It turns out that Jelly Bean supports USB audio, a software feature that’s bound to spearhead a whole new generation of accessories for Android devices. Gear4’s universal speaker dock with alarm clock radio is the first to handle USB audio. While the sound for any app can be routed to the USB port in Jelly Bean, the functionality is missing from older versions of Android. Thankfully, Gear4 includes an app with its accessory that can be used to set alarms, sync time, tune the radio and play media over the USB port on legacy versions of Android. Want to know more? You’ll find our gallery below and our hands-on video after the break.
