Axiom Audio reveals real-wood PC speakers with plenty of oomphNovember 21

We aren’t about to believe that Axiom Audio’s Audiobyte is actually the first made for the PC, but it’s pretty swank, regardless. The setup consists of a pair of ultra-compact speakers, a dedicated stereo amplifier and an optional (but totally necessary) subwoofer. Additionally, the firm offers ‘em up in seven different finishes including lacquered, real-wood Burled Walnut, and the standalone amplifier pushes some 55-watts to each 6.5- x 5.5- x 4-inch speaker.

Sony’s XEL-1 OLED TV limited to 2000 unitsNovember 21

At this point, it’s not clear if the interest around Sony’s ultra-thin, XEL-1 OLED TV is plain ol’ first-gen technology, gawker enthusiasm or valid consumer interest. As such, it’s hard to say whether an initial production run of just 2,000 units spread across 700 stores in Japan is going to be a problem or not. However, if you’re lucky enough to stumble across this storefront display you’d best not dawdle and dig deep for that ¥200,000 (about $1700 US) MSRP right then and there.

Hands-on with miShareNovember 21

Today we got an exclusive look at that unit we spotted last week, and it seems to do exactly what it says on the box. If you missed it, the miShare is a little Linux-based device with a pair of iPod docking ports that can shuttle files from one iPod to another. We got to see it in action with a pair of nanos, and the operation was pretty painless — if a little sluggish, they’re claiming about 500K a second, at the low end of the USB 2.0 spectrum.
