NuForce Cube Portable Speaker Serves Up Headphone Amp With USB DAC

May 29, 2012/ Nir Schneider

NuForce has released its Cube, an all-in-one audiophile worthy portable speaker with a powerful built-in headphone amp and USB DAC. NuForce's 2-inch tall, aluminum enclosed cubic speaker isn't wireless, but offers wired connections for superior sound quality and versatile configurations. The Cube works as a standalone portable speaker with its built-in rechargeable 8-hour battery and can be connected using a 3.5mm stereo cable, connect to a computer via USB and act as a headphone amplifier capable of driving power hungry headphones with clean, high quality audio.

NuForce's Cube may look like a puny speaker, but with a precisely optimized amplifier chip and tuned speaker driver, NuForce claims it'll blow away low quality portable speakers. The Cube speaker includes a carrying pouch, USB and 3.5mm cables and is available now in silver, red, black and blue for $119.

Type On This Wireless Virtual Laser Keyboard For iPad & iPhone (Video)

August 11, 2011/ Nir Schneider

Forget about keyboard cases, this Cube Laser Virtual Keyboard made by Celluon is where it's at right now. The future is already here? I remember watching movies with this kind of technology and it was just CGI at the time. Now you can finally get the real deal. The Cube Laser Virtual Keyboard projects a full-sized red lasered keyboard onto a flat surface and will sound a clicking sound when you type. And it can connect to virtually any Bluetooth enabled device, not just the iPad and iPhone. The built-in rechargeable battery will only last for about two and a half hours of continuous typing in the dark of night. Too bad it doesn't come in other laser color choices other than the boring red color. You can grab one for $169.99 over at ThinkGeek. Where else? It's the only place you can geek yourself out. See it in action after the break!

Just Mobile's AluCube Will Hold Your AluPen Stylus

August 11, 2011/ Nir Schneider

Today is the day all of you AluPen stylus users should rejoice because Just Mobile has rolled out the only missing component to the pencil-shaped aluminum stylus called the AluCube. It's a solid chunk of an aluminum cube that acts almost like a dock to stand the AluPen stylus in an upright angle. The AluPen simply slides into the AluCube's rubberized interior hole at the top when you're not using it. A neat little desk accessory that will not only look good, but it will also help keep one of your charging cables tidied up. The AluCube is available as a standalone cubical AluPen desk holder for $15.95, or for those of you who don't own an AluPen - in a AluCube plus AluPen bundle for $39.95.
