This week’s roundup of gear for your iOS devices includes a Bluetooth speaker that’s also an LED lightbulb for your lamp. We’ve also got new ways to sync, and ways to bring your iPad into the workplace.
AwoX
This company has announced yet another Bluetooth speaker…but with a twist: It’s also an LED light bulb that can fit into any standard lamp, so it provides light and music while staying nicely hidden. AwoX plans to unveil the $99 StriimLight next month at January’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
Harman Kardon
Is it a hot-air popcorn machine or a wireless home speaker system? The $400 Aura looks a little bit like the former, but it’s definitely the latter: a Bluetooth audio system with six midrange and high-frequency 1.5-inch transducers for omni-directional sound, and a 4.5-inch subwoofer for the low end. The system will ship in February.
iGear Unlimited
The iPad Flip Turn Case is now available in a $100 version for the iPad mini; a $129 version for iPad Air will ship in the first quarter of 2014. The hardshell case is really more than a case, as it includes a backlit-keys Bluetooth keyboard. A pivoting hinge lets you view your screen as a tablet or prop it up for hands-free viewing, forward or backward.
