Hasta La Gadget!

Scosche is a company that makes all sorts of accessories for the iPhone and other smartphones on the market. The company has announced a new fitness gadget that is designed to help users get fit and track details about their workouts called the Rhythm. The device is worn on the forearm and resembles a wristwatch.

The Rhythm armband is worn around the upper arm and has two alternating LEDs with a photo sensor to accurately measure the wearer’s pulse. The armband also has an integrated accelerometer. That accelerometer allows the device to capture accurate measurements for calories burned, speed, pace, route, and distance.

The details such as calories burned, and route that armband captures are sent to an application available for the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch via Bluetooth. The app is available at no cost and allows users to share statistics on their workouts to Facebook, twitter, and other locations.

Scosche also has an app available for Android users. The buttons on the armband allow the user to control audio playback, including pause/play, track, and volume. The armband is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery good for up to six hours of continuous monitoring per charge. The Rhythm accessory is available now for $99.95.

There have been multiple reports suggesting that Apple could be redesigning the dock connector for its next-gen iPhone, taking it from a 30-pin connector down to a 9-pin one. While that remains to be seen, alleged leaked photos from manufacturer Scosche (via iLounge) for accessories for the next-gen iPhone seem to be in line with the rumors. Either that or Scosche is getting ahead of itself by creating accessories based on rumors and speculation, which could prove to be a costly mistake should the next-gen iPhone keep the same dock connector.

In any case, the accessories leaked belong to the “syncABLE Pro” wall charge and the “reNUE Pro” car charger. These accessories plug into the chargers via USB and can also be folded down (in the photo above) to include micro USB charging capabilities as well. We can’t speak for the authenticity of these photographs, but it certainly seems like everything is pointing at a smaller dock connector. In any case the 12th of September is when Apple is expected to announce the device, so check back with us then for confirmation.

How many of you out there love living out a lifestyle that is free from demands as well as unnecessary shackles? This is what we are talking about when it comes to a wireless world, and we already have had wireless home phones for the longest time already, with wireless printers and scanners starting to take their place in homes and offices everywhere, not to mention having wireless speakers being strategically placed around the room so that you are able to hear just what the artist wants you to hear – at least, as close as possible. All this without running the risk of a wayward kid zipping around the home and tripping over some cables.

Now here is a candidate for a wireless speaker for you to consider – the Scosche boomSTREAM wireless Bluetooth speaker which is said to come with a wireless range of 33 feet like all good Bluetooth-enabled devices should come with, making it ideal for action regardless of where you are – at home, in your backyard while you hold a BBQ session, at the dorm with the rest of your mates, or even at the office when you want to chill out. Let us take a closer look at what the Scosche boomSTREAM wireless Bluetooth speaker is able to deliver right after the jump.

This particular wireless media speaker will play nice with Bluetooth 2.1 enabled devices which run on either the iOS or Android operating system, respectively. It is not only compact, making it lightweight in the process, hence placing the boomSTREAM in a very strategic location where it is ideal for streaming music throughout the home, regardless of where you are. Obviously, you will need to pay some attention to the range which you are working with, not to mention having to take into consideration the kind of obstacles such as concrete walls that might result in lowering the range by some bit.

Kas Alves, Executive VP Scosche Industries, said, “With the overwhelming success of our boomCAN portable speaker, we knew we had to offer a wireless option. Like its wired little brother, boomSTREAM delivers big sound in a compact package.”

Just what kind of audio action does the Scosche boomsTREAM offer right out of the box? We are looking at dual 40mm drivers and a down-firing passive subwoofer which is said to be able to deliver an enhanced bass response while producing an excellent listening experience. Not only that, to make sure you get to enjoy hours of music – up to 8 on a full charge in fact, there is a 1200 mA lithium polymer rechargeable battery. Heck, you can even use the Scosche boomSTREAM to juice up a smartphone thanks to the USB charging port.

It will not lack in terms of aesthetics either, as the Scosche boomSTREAM will come with a brushed aluminum surface, in addition to an intricate speaker covering that makes it very pleasant to look at regardless of where you place it. The presence of a built-in microphone will be able to transform the boomSTREAM into an enhanced speakerphone right there and then. The asking price for this little wireless speaker that could? $99.99 a pop.
