Last monght the Consumer Electronics Show happened out in Las Vegas. As a geekfather, there is no way my wife would let me go out to sin city to play with tech toys, but I followed the latest and greatest unveilings by surfing sights like Engadget.
The geekfather lives on a budget, so I could only window shop for most items, no 3-d t.v. for me, but there was on item, under $100 that caught my eye and ear.
The Tunebug Vibe. It's a tiny device that turns things into speakers. For instance set it on a Kleenex box, and suddenly it's a speaker, put it on a wall, and it becomes a speaker. I have been looking for a tiny speaker system to use with my iPhone and laptop, and this seemed intriguing to me. So I ordered one from the company.
It comes with a tiny box, a charging cord, and a cord to extend to your music player. I tried it out, and it's definitely cool. The sound is good, not great. I use it mostly when tooling around the house or getting ready for work.
I found some surfaces, like hard counter tops, or a concrete floor, don't work well to conduct the sound, but hollow things, like tissue boxes, non-reinforced walls, even a laptop sound o.k. Check out the video to see it action.
