The Jawbone JAMBOX is an incredible piece of engineering. It fits in your hand and has a wonderful rubber exterior that makes you feel confident that it can stand up to the rigors of life and come out unscathed. It’s sound quality is stunning and very reminiscent of the BOSE Wave sound system. The base is deep and full. If you place your hand on the surface that the JAMBOX is sitting on, you can feel the base. Mid and high tones are crisp and clear. Jawbone were very smart to keep the very loud 85 dB within a reasonable range to avoid distortion. This is one of the most exciting products we have reviewed this year. Audiophiles everywhere playing music on mobile phones and Bluetooth capable MP3 players +can enjoy phenomenal sound quality on the road without wires.

Just when you thought that every conceivable form of USB device has been already created, Designer Arman Emami winner of a Red Dot Design Award brings us the clip it USB drive. Colors are fantastic, and like it’s name, it clips to documents, letters, folders, books, your tie, the flap of your pocket and any other surface that’s a few mm thick. I’ve lost a few USB memory sticks in my time, I’ve got a feeling that the clip feature won’t stop that from happening, but I do love the concept.
