Bird Electron Ezison 100
January 26, 2010
Bird Electron's latest speaker, the Ezison 100 is not something you see every day as it will more or less convert your iPhone or iPod touch into an impromptu electric guitar. Handmade in Japan, the main materials used in its construction are wood and acrylic fiber. All you need to do is place your iPhone/iPod into the speaker's housing, hook it with the speaker via the headphone jack and you're good to go. Boot up the guitar app on your device and start "stringing" away just like a real guitarist. Features of the Ezison 100 include a 2W digital amplifier, where it tips the scales at 650 grams and runs off a trio of AA batteries. There are only 50 units of that available at $290 a pop, so expect these to hit eBay after its January 30th release for a substantially higher price whether demand outstrips supply.

Interestingly sufficient, he doesn't need to manually start his car all the duration remotely, as he can always set alarms or repeating calendar events to do so. Now whether only he managed to find a way to not only start the car, but have it drive up to his doorstep by itself without knocking pedestrians by ala Grand Theft Auto style.
