Bowers & Wilkins Proud of Zeppelin iPod Speakers
Bowers & Wilkins are normally known for their high-end home speakers, but now they’ve created something completely different- the Zeppelin. Around a behemoth 2 feet in size, the Zeppelin has 5 drivers, a 5 inch woofer, glass-fiber cones, and fancy tube tweeters. The Zeppelin also boasts an impressive 100w and has connectivity to send pictures or video to a TV. The gigantic Zeppelin will cost you $599 whenever it is released. Personally, I think it looks ridiculous, but to each his own.
Nokia N93i Transformers Edition
In case you just can’t get enough of the new Transformers movie, then you can always pick up the Nokia N93i Transformers Edition. And please don’t think of this just as a Nokia marketing ploy–I’m sure deep down, they’re fans, too. The Transformers Nokia N93i will be the same as the normal Nokia N93, but will have a Transformers background, Transformers games, and Transformers ringtones. Look for this Transformers Nokia N93i in Quarter 3 of 2007, at an undisclosed price.

Future iPhone Updates?
Although many iPhone users are holding their breath for updates, it appears that the key to future updates lies in the firmware itself. In one of the system preference files, “Default ApplicationState.plist”, there are a few unexpected features- most interestingly radio, translation, and the unit converter. It seems that Apple may implement support for radio streaming or even an FM tuner on the iPhone.
