Haven’t had enough Angry Birds yet? I’m sure a backlash is on the horizon, but in the meantime a speaker series is on the way from gear4.
Despite the red bird having a reputation for being useless, the speaker is actually quite functional. Both the red bird and bomber bird versions have the ability to connect to a mobile device with an auxiliary cable. It also comes with a separate iPhone/iPod/iPad dock. The green pig version, on the other hand, has a built-in helmet dock for the iPod/iPhone.
Look for the speakers to be released later this fall for $79.99-$99.99.

Although these speakers look like the type of wall installation that could destroy your house with noise, in reality they are sound-dampening foam tiles. They attach to a wall using double-sided tape and a special wallpaper which is apparently used to protect the surface they’re attached to. This is a perfect way to soundproof a room without using that material that looks like a 3D checkerboard of upside down egg cartons, and will give your room that “I want to be loud, but can’t” vibe.

We posted on the availability of the Star Wars MP3 speaker lamp alarm clocks the other day, but it turns out that there is also an Iron Man version on its way. The title on the product page even says “Star Wars Iron Man 2 Lamp Clock”.
Now that would be an interesting movie mash up.

Sony’s “Sound Mug” is intended as a portable speaker for use with Walkman devices. As the name suggests, it looks like a mug and it fits conveniently into your car cupholders. Unfortunately, that is valued real estate for my actual coffee—so until I can drink out of the Sound Mug, with deep bass sounds pushing coffee down my throat with greater speed and efficiency, I am not interested.

Was “The Force” simply a figment of George Lucas’ imagination, or is it a real power that is all around us?

The following 10 Star Wars products have definitely harnessed that power.

At this year’s Toy Fair, Funko has broken away from simple bobblers and computer sitters with these Darth Vader and Stormtrooper MP3 speakers. There isn’t much in the way of details just yet, but I have to wonder whether or not these things double as lamps.
