Hi, I've just received, through the post, something I ordered last week. Now, I must be honest, I have only played with it for half an hour or so, but, considering the price, the size, the portability, this is a brilliant little toy! So, what is it?
Basically, it is a small plastic ball measuring approximately an inch and a half in diameter. One half of the ball unscrews and shows a sticky rubberised pad. This sticky pad can be attached to, virtually, any surface. The ball is connected via cable directly to your iPhone. There is a small battery case for two I think they are called penlight batteries but will check on that later halfway along this cable. Also, when I say "iPhone", this device will work with any sound output device that has an ear plug Jack so, a nano and iPod and iPad or any of the android devices. What it does: it uses the structure of the body to which you have attached it as a speaker. Thus, when I stick it to my large fridge I get a good big sound with a reasonable degree of base! Wooden cupboards are, of course, very good too! You can create different kinds of sound using different items, for example, a tin might get you more high-pitched frequencies. I was thinking, this might be useful for people with hearing difficulties who prefer different frequencies. It is, of course, a sort of toy! But it actually works! I think it cost about €12, but don't quote me on that. This is something you can put in a pocket attached to the key ring or put in your bag and you could easily forget that you've got it. But you do have to remember to keep the cables and batteries with it. I shall play some more, but I was thinking it a worthwhile thing to mention here especially with Christmas coming up! It may be that there are Bluetooth versions of these which would make it even more portable! But as it stands I'm very glad have bought this one for now. Below is the first scan I have taken from the small bit of documentation that came with the device. Maybe it will whet your appetite? And I will be back with more info, if anyone is interested, that is. Sandy Thank you for purchasing this product.
