Philips reveals an updated series of docking speakers for use with the latest iDevices armed with Lightning connectors-- one offering speakers in a variety of shapes and sizes.
The biggest of all is the Urban Micro System (DCM3155), a tower-shaped all-in-one sound system designed to fit in most spaces. As well as a Lightning connector it includes a CD player, FM radio and up to 50W RMS of music power.
Another all-in-one system is the Lifestyle Music System (DCM2067), a more traditional-looking dock with retractable Lightning connector, CD player and FM radio. A pair of speakers speakers provide 20W RMS of power.
Philips also caters for customers on the move with the Portable Docking Speaker (DS7580). Looking like a hockey puck, it carries Philips wOOx technology promising rich and deep bass and a built-in battery Philips claims provides up to 8 hours of music.
According to the two companies the newly announced combination provides an intelligent door able to automatically lock up once users are fast asleep.
The Easy-Switch keyboard is near-identical to Logitech's own K810 Bluetooth keyboard. It pairs up with up to 3 Bluetooth-enabled devices and allows switching through the press of a button. It also has backlit keys, Mac-specific buttons and aluminium construction fitting with the Apple look.
To think we assumed the Fiona was just a fairly interesting concept design that was never to be seen or heard of again, like the Switchblade and Blade gaming laptops.
Newell tells Kotaku the decision follows the "stronger than expected" rection to "Big Picture," a TV-friendly interface for Valve's online software storefront, Steam. This only means PC gamers want to enjoy games through the creature comforts of their sofas and big screen TVs, just like their console brethren do.
