We’ll have a full review on the iKurv soon, but for now, take a look at this unboxing video.

There’s no shortage of iPod and iPhone speaker docks out there, but that hasn’t stopped Monster from announcing yet another one.

At least that’s what Yoel Fink, an associate professor of materials science and researcher at MIT claims. Fink and his lab have been working on producing piezoelectric fibers, that is fibers that can convert motion into electricity or vice versa.

The BluNote is a portable speaker that connects to any music playing device wirelessly via Bluetooth or a 3.5mm wire. The coolest part might be if your music player is also a phone. The BluNote can be used as a speakerphone for hands free operation. With space for eight different Bluetooth profiles, the BluNote really is a universal speaker. This product is available now for $129 from the Spracht website.

Seems that I am not the only one that reveres Logitech for their well thought out products and supreme ease of use. The maker of tons ‘o stuff nabbed four Good Design awards from Japan. The award picks four stand out products from the electronics maker. This makes a total of 20 designs awarded for Logitech in the past six years; an impressive feat, for sure.

The Good Design Awards is presented for designs that clearly demonstrate merit in the following assessment categories: designs that meet or exceed a certain standard, superior designs and future-oriented designs.

With the growing popularity of mobile phones as music devices, it is but logical that mobile phone accessory manufactures would think of coming out with speakers that could deliver high-quality sound from mobile phones to external speakers.

While we are taking some time getting our full thoughts down, we wanted to show off the pics of the latest gadget to make its way into the Gadgetell headquarters. Its the Kicker iK500 iPod speaker system. While we have the iK500 which is made exclusively for the iPod, Kicker also has the zKick ZK500 for the Microsoft Zune.

Aside from the obvious difference that one is made for the Zune and the other for the iPod, they both offer the same features. The systems both ship with a remote control that offers a full range of options, and have two 5-inch woofers, two 3/4-inch tweeters, one 6-inch square reflex subwoofer that are powered by a 40-watt stereo amplifier. In addition they both have a 1/8-inch stereo aux-in jack and stereo RCA out. They both measure in at 8.5 x 19.2 x 8.4-inches and weigh 9.2-pounds.

The iK500 includes eight dock inserts that will allow for just about any iPod to fit snugly in place, and the ZK500 comes with three inserts to fit the various available Zune players. The iK500 and ZK500 both retail for $299.99 and are currently available. During our (so far brief) testing the system sounded great and worked well with a variety of iPods, to include the nano, Shuffle and even the iPhone, while in airplane mode. Be sure to check back for our full review and in the mean time enjoy the pics…
