Logitech Mini Boombox is a mobile speaker and speakerphone that delivers an immersive aural experience when connected with your smartphones, tablets and other Bluetooth-enabled devices anytime, anywhere.

With more portable speakers are starting to appear in the consumer market like the Jambox by Jawbone and the Bose SoundLink Wireless Mobile Speakers, Logitech Mini Boombox differentiates itself by being affordable (still wondering how the sound quality is) while still performing reasonably well.

The Logitech Mini Boombox is equipped with a specially designed acoustic chamber to provide great sound while pumping in extra bass. A handy speakerphone with built-in mic gives one clear phone/video calls whether you’re alone or in a group.

The Logitech Mini Boombox is expected to be available in Singapore in early February 2012 for a suggested retail price of S$109.

Key Features:

  • Wireless audio for Bluetooth devices
    Get great sound anywhere wirelessly with a Bluetooth connection.
  • Big sound, small size
    Powerful audio goes travel-size, with clear acoustics and enhanced bass that you can shuttle around the house or on the road.
  • Charges over USB
    Your speaker’s rechargeable battery stays powered up for up to ten hours straight – long enough to share all of your favorite playlists.
  • Clear conversations
    The built-in microphone delivers your voice loud and clear, so you’ll never go unheard or misunderstood.
  • Sleek controls
    Backlit, touch panel for easy control night or day.

Just to quickly post out this news even though it’s Chinese New Year. There is a dramatic change in RIM’s company structure. Finally, there will no longer be 2 CEOs in this company. I’ve always thought having 2 CEOs was a bad idea. Let’s hope Thorsten Heins will be able to turn RIM around and save the sinking ship.

Here are the changes:

  • Board Acts on Recommendation of Co-CEOs to Implement Succession Plan
  • Thorsten Heins Appointed President and CEO of RIM, and Board Member
  • Mike Lazaridis Named Vice Chair of the Board
  • Jim Balsillie Remains a Director
  • Barbara Stymiest Named Independent Board Chair
  • Prem Watsa Named Independent Director

Profile of Thorsten Heins after the break: Continue reading »

F’Friends is a full-length 2 hours play about the friends being more than what you usually know – with several sexual benefits of course. Now guess what the “F” stands for from the title – F’Friends. 6 scenes, 6 rooms, 6 couples. This takes place in various rooms across different HDB flats in Singapore and explores the intimacy of those in the thick of love, loins and awkward silences.

F’Friends, an original new full-length play by Jocelyn Chua, takes place in various rooms across different HDB flats in Singapore and explores the intimacy of those in the thick of love, loins, and awkward silences. Watch how relationships spill beyond the messy boundaries of the heart as friends look forward to more than the regular listening ear and find themselves tussling through strong desires, intense chemistries and countless of piercing consequences. So skip the chase, keep your hands to yourself, and uncover the private conversations of pending lovers who prioritise sex over romance and best friends whose friendship works best under covers.

Details are as follows -

Rating : M18 (Sexuality/Nudity)
Date & Time : Jan 18-21 @ 8pm, Jan 21 @ 3pm
