This splash proof speaker uses wireless technology to make it easy for you to bring the music from an iPod or other MP3, or from the the built-in FM radio, player into your bathroom.

The wireless speaker works with a smaller transmitter that can be left in another room with your iPod or mp3 player connected via a standard 3.5mm jack. Just push play and your favourite tunes will be pumped out in the bathroom.

A built-in wall bracket and a back stand make setting up the wireless speaker easy and its smart design and discreet size ensure it looks good in any bathroom.

The wireless speaker itself boasts good sound quality and a splash proof design and fogless mirror. There’s also an FM radio allowing you to tune in to your favourite radio morning breakfast show and an LCD clock so you can keep an eye on the time.

The Wireless Bathroom Speaker is available from Gizoo for £24.95 (about $41 USD).

You might have heard about the Leyio “personal sharing device” earlier this year. Now, about 6 months later, this wireless portable flash drive is available in the stores.

Leyio’s PSD is a high speed module that transmits information between devices via Ultra-Wideband* (UWB) technology rather than wi-fi. With 16GB Flash memory, you can send digital content (photos, mp3s, movies, business cards, business files and web links) to other Leyio’s at a literal flick of a wrist – no, really! The device will be one of the first to utilise UWB in the commercial market. And since the information you store on the Leyio PSD is likely to be both personal and private – forgetful civil servants take note – a fingerprint scanner (ensuring you are the only person who can access the content) makes this far more secure than any other portable storage device.

With a single, sweeping movement, you can exchange digital information with another Leyio – whether you’re out at the shops, walking down the street or in a business meeting – at remarkable speeds of up to 10MB/s*. A photo of around 3MB can be exchanged in just 0.3 seconds and a personal movie in around 20 seconds, while business cards and web links can be received by another Leyio device almost instantaneously.

There’s no problem if you want to exchange information with a friend who doesn’t own a Leyio device –the Leyio features a USB port, allowing you to share files between your PSD and a regular USB stick. The Leyio also features a detachable “Shuttle”, which can be used in the same way as a USB stick, allowing you to transfer files directly from your Leyio to a friend’s computer, quickly and securely.

The Leiyo is available in three colors: Mirror Black, Ice Grey and Bubblegum Pink. The product is yours for £129.95 (about $212 USD) from the Firebox.com website.

Reader Information:
*Ultra-wideband (UWB) is a radio technology with which short or medium-range communications can be made with low power consumption. UWB has notably been utilised in radar, tracking and precision locating. Since UWB operates at a very low energy, it causes less interference than other radio-network solutions and is a strong contender for becoming the preferred technology for the wireless home and office.

The YO concept, created by the New York City based designer Victor Vetterlein, is a portable, wireless and waterproof stereo speaker docking station for audio players.

Inside the dock base are lithium-ion (rechargeable) batteries capable of powering the stereo system for hours when the unit is disconnected from a power source. The design intention is that a renewable energy source such as solar power, wind power, or hydroelectricity charges the battery packs when the stereo is not in use.

The speakers also contain lithium-ion batteries in their base, and recharge when placed in the stereo base portals. The batteries also provide high-density ballast enabling the speakers to stand upright when removed from the charging ports.

The speaker enclosure is designed to amplify sound. The speakers are mounted in the rear of the speaker housing. Similar to a megaphone, the front portion of the speaker enclosure is extruded to increase and direct sound. Two removable rods are mounted between the stereo speakers to stabilize the stereo assembly and provide a lifting handle when the unit is transported.

Head over to Dezeen design blog to view more photos of the YO speaker.
