Here’s a funky robot that dances to the music from Japan.  You can even hook up your iPod to enjoy your music on the robot.

It’s a robot for pure recreation, I am not sure how it’d sell in the U.S. market yet.

The two-wheeled, dancing A.M.P. (Automated Music Personality or Ampbot) from Sega-Hasbro stands 2.4-feet tall and features a MP3 or iPod cradle on its back, stereo speakers, and the ability to follow and interact with its owner. There’s a 5-inch mid-range speaker in the chest and a pair of smaller tweeters in the shoulders for a total output of 12 watts. Osamu Takeuchi of Sega Toys says, “The owner can also enjoy being chased around the house by the robot.

Wow, this is a really great idea for a wall shelf/MP3 player.  Designed by NoDesign.

You have to see this cool technology that is called Wazz AL and is designed by NoDesign. In a few words Wazz AL is a bookshelf which can play the music, and with very cool control panel, you can see more by watching the video from this post. Waaz AL is a shelf connected to a computer that doubles as a device for audio diffusion and archiving digital music files (MP3).

A Japanese company just launched a solar powered media player that can play your audio and video files.

The design looks somewhat big and clunky but we can’t complain as this is probably one of the ver first solar powered media devices out today.

Thanko, a Japanese company, released a new Solar Digital Audio Player. Our device is equipped with a 1.8’’ LCD screen (220×176), 4GB of Internal memory, a miniSD card slot (512MB-2GB), and a solar panel to charge your DAP. Of course it can also be charged via the USB port.

Our Solar DAP reads MP3/WMA/WAV audio files, and AVI/RM/VOB/DAT/RMVB video files.

MP9 is a new type of audio file format that allows the user to control each musical instrument.

For example, let’s say you are listening to some rap but you wanted to voice your own vocals, turn off the vocals and wala.

Another example is if you were a guitarholic and you wanted to listen to only guitar, you can turn off the bass, vocal, and everything else to focus on the guitar sounds only.

This is a great idea by the way. Currently, you could do something slightly similar by filtering the frequencies of the music file but it would require a lot of technical knowledge on the users part.

If this file format goes international and live, which I believe it will, you will get another level of user control and experience for every song you hear.

The MT9 technology was first conceived by Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) and is being shaped into commercial use by venture company Audizen. It was selected as a candidate item for the new digital music standard at a regular meeting of Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG), the international body of the digital music and video industry, held in France late April.

“We made presentations to the participants and they were all surprised to see it. They immediately voted to make it a candidate for the digital music standard,” said Ham Seung-chul, chief of Audizen. He is expecting it will be formerly selected as an international standard in the MPEG forum’s next meeting to be held in Germany June.

I admit to having a very expensive Motorola S7 Stereo bluetooth headset that I never use because I lost the disk for it and there’s no way to download the drivers on Motorola’s site. (Motorola is stupid on the web…)

(Maybe I should give it away, I did pay almost 200 bucks for it. What a useless piece of technology…)

Here’s Opera’s Wireless earphones that doesn’t work on bluetooth but it works on its own radio signals.

By having this simpler setup, people will be able to use it for other devices instead of having to rely on bluetooth technology. (Which sucks for long distance anyways)

Sometimes, simpler is better.

SEOUL, Korea (AVING) — <Visual News> DigiFi(www.digifi.kr) rolled out its wireless over-the-ear style ear phone with iPod adapter ‘Digital Opera S1′ in Korea market, which is based on Kleer’s wireless technology.

Lol, this is a great gizmo. You can control the robot via Bluetooth, change music, or even move the robot. iPod-World is taking pre-orders of this item, I’d get one if it was available in the US. Even better, they might just send us a sample?

You control the robot and your iPod wirelessly by using your cell phone via Bluetooth technology to change tunes, move the robot, take picture and send them to your cell phone… It costs £159.99.

Here’s a cool lookin’ MP3 you can crank to re-charge the battery.  Crank for about 10 minutes and you get 50 minutes of playing power.  Of course, the MP3 can also be re-charged via USB.   Now, THIS is what iPod  needs, ability to crank it up.

Sure, you can sit on the train and twiddle your crank but to save you from such embarrassing moments, this does allow for recharge via USB. It takes approximately 2.5 hours to get a full-charge but if you insist on cranking, it will take about 10 minutes at 2.5 rotations / second to give you the equivalent recharge of 50 minutes via USB.

This means that the plugs can stay in place but the power can be switched off by just raising the plug and therefore cutting the power to that particular device.

Here’s an interesting concept design for iStick, which is basically box sized version of the iPhone. I am not sure if I will need this, it looks it’s real fragile with displays on the four sides. Neverthless, koodos to designer Alexei Mikhailov for great looking design.

Designer Alexei Mikhailov isn’t out to convince people his iStick concept is the perfect mobile convergence device. In fact he clearly points out the iStick isn’t for viewing movies and the screen is too small for effective photo viewing. What it does have is a visual replication of the iPhone/Touch space inside a device the size of a lipstick tube.

Features:

Two Gigabytes of flash memory storage
