I am quite sure that many of us out there already know about V-MODA, the designer of award-winning audio accessories for the masses, and this time around, their creative juices have resulted in the Vamp Verza as well as Metallo case. The former is what we will be concentrating on today actually, where the Vamp Verza has been specially developed to turn your smartphone into something that it was originally not meant to be – a mobile Hi-Fi system. You know that the Vamp Verza oozes with quality, where it is designed in Italy and made in Japan, and will continue from where the original Vamp for iPhone 4/4S left off, considering how it features an integrated 150mW x 2 headphone amplifier, a pair of DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converters) and a 2200mAh battery pack. Not only that, Vamp Verza also boasts of the patent-pending Verzadock which is seamlessly integrated with popular smartphone and tablets.

You will be able to use the Vamp Verza as a standalone Hi-Fi USB Audio amplifier, or assuming you fall under the mobile audiophiles category, you can opt to dock it with the machined Metallo case that was specially built for the Samsung Galaxy S3. Make no mistake about it, there will be cases developed in the future for the Samsung Galaxy S4, Note 2 and iPhone 5, and these are set to roll out in the coming months. The Metallo case will slide and lock onto Verza’s high-performance audio engine thanks to the Verzadock rail mechanism which was designed for optimal precision and tactility. Of course, there is also the flexibility of using the case independently thanks to the included back cover, as this comes in handy whenever portability trumps function at a particular moment.

The Vamp Verza’s dedicated DACs are capable of extracting pure digital output from your computer, Android, or iOS device thanks to the USB/micro-USB, converting it into analog form for the purest mobile audio listening experience. In addition, the 2200 mAh lithium-ion battery also doubles up as a backup power source for just about any USB powered device, and it should be enough to nearly double the majority of smartphone batteries out there. Needless to say, this means the Vamp Verza is not going to come cheap at $598 a pop, where it will be globally available in Matte Black, Shadow (Red and Brushed Black Metal) and White with Orange accents.

What is small and disappears quickly? Well, you can classify the Nexus 7 Dock as one of them for sure, where it has, at long last, arrived on the Google Play Store, but this cameo, as it felt that way, was so short lived since the accessory is apparently in great demand, and is already sold out, now how about that? When it was still available, the Nexus 7 Dock retailed for $29.99 a pop, but for regions that carry it, it remains under the banner of “Temporarily out of stock”. I guess the $29.99 price point proved itself to be too attractive for customers, or perhaps to a less probable degree, Google has yet to put a finger on the entire supply/demand chain where their Nexus 7 Dock is concerned.

Also, another reason as to why the Nexus 7 Dock did sell like gangbusters (that is what we would like to assume, since there were no official details on the number of accessories that were sold to date), which would be the $10 discount on the Nexus 7 Dock compared to what majority of the other retailers have sold the dock for. Connectivity options include microUSB and audio out ports, sans video out.

It’s finally arrived – the official Google Nexus 7 Pogo Pin dock made for your very favorite 7-inch tablet, straight from the big G. This release has been awaited by fans of the device since it was first realized that the unit had a set of Pogo Pins on its side. What this means is that you’ll be able to drop the tablet in to the charger sideways and you’ll have to do no plugging of any sort to make with the charging – so simple!

This device is being shown in each of the three major sales locations for the device on Google Play, both in the USA and across the sea in both the UK and greater Europe. The price remains relatively similar depending on where you’re grabbing it from – so similar, in fact, that you’ll want to pick one up in the store that resides inside your own land mass, without a doubt.

For the USA version you’ll be dropping $29.99, in the UK you’ll be paying up 24.99 in English Quid, and across the Euro mass you’ll see 29,99 EU, as it were. The device remains essentially the same no matter where you’re purchasing it, save the wall-plug, of course. If you’ve seen this device before this release, you’ve quite likely been paying $10 USD more (or that’s what we’ve seen in general, that is).

This device is quite simple, only holding your Nexus 7 upright and charging it just so long as you’ve got the cord out the back plugging in to a power port. And that’s it, that’s all, that’s all there is! Have a peek at the Nexus 7 timeline below to see other recent happenings surrounding this lovely tablet device.
