IFA 2006: Harman Kardon Go + Play iPod speaker system
Remember the Cadbury’s Smash robots? Well, you’ll soon be able to pick up an iPod speaker system that looks uncannily similar in the form of the Harman Kardon Go + Play, which got an official launch at the IFA.
Apart from its strange looks, the Go + Play has one other stand-out feature – it’s been designed for your iPod to lie flat, as opposed to sticking out from the top, which is probably more secure and certainly gives more of a streamlined look. The sound is boosted by a combination of bi-amped digital amplification, DSP (digital sound processing) and Ridge and Atlas transducers, with volume and music selection controlled by remote, which operates up to 30ft away and through walls. It also connects via S-video to your TV if you want to watch your video clips on a bigger screen.
The Harman Kardon Go + Play should be in the shops in time for Christmas, priced around 349 Euros (around £235).
