Turn the Physical to Digital with mbeat!

Electronics

Add a comment By Andi

What if you could take all the best things out of your vinyl recordings and make them as portable as the rest of your collection? Seems like the people over at mbeat were thinking the same thing, because they came up with an answer with the Turntable and Cassette Digital Recorder.

There's always been something special about analogue audio. The crackle and pop of a vinyl record to the warmth and personality in a cassette tape always brings a recording to life in a way that digital never has. Unfortunately, vinyl isn't the most portable of platforms, and finding a Walkman anywhere other than an opshop these days is near impossible.

Now all that warmth and personality can be taken with you in MP3 format, simply hook the mbeat Digital Recorder up to your PC, record your vinyl and cassettes, and upload them to your device. Certainly a lot easier than carrying a turntable with you.

As an avid film buff we've all come across this problem. That elusive film you've been searching for is finally within your reach, but it's the wrong region!

Well, before the frustration overwhelms you, take a look at a 1080p Multi Region Blu-Ray Player we just got back in stock.

Not content to just play all the Blu-Ray the world can throw at it, this little guy will also play DVDs of any region AND upscale them to 720 or 1080p as well.

As if this wasn't enough, this player also offers a USB port for digital media, as well as Dolby Digital sound quality for a proper home theatre experience. It doesn't matter if you're bringing your entire library over from another country, or collecting the most bizarre Blu-Rays and DVDs out there, this will play them all.

It seems like everywhere you look, speaker docks only feature docking platforms for iPhone devices. Which is great… if you've got an iPhone. The rest of us are forced to wrangle AUX cables, which does the trick but doesn't charge our phone.

Thankfully, Philips has seen our plight and released the Fidelio Docking Speaker for Android!!!

Smartphone and tablet alike can dock, charge and play music thanks to the FlexiDock design. Any of your devices can sit balanced and secure with an adjustable and versatile connection system.

Whether you're blasting a sweet playlist for your party or relaxing to something a bit more mellow, the Fidelio Speaker Dock has you covered. Using Bluetooth connectivity, you're ensured easy and intuitive control through your smartphone or tablet device.

Based in the UK, Fitbug were one of the first companies into wearable fitness gadgets. Having launched in 2005, they've been on the market for just about 10 years now and a couple of these neat devices are now available in NZ :)

The Fitbug range we have to start us off consists of the Fitbug Wow scales and now the Fitbug Orb which is available in three colours.

I'm no fitness expert, but I love a good gadget and below is a great video on some of the features and how it all works :) If you want to see if your phone or tablet will work with these there is a compatiblity list online here.

It features a 60mm lens that is capable of focusing as close as 11.8" away and a built-in flash provides additional illumination for exposures when out and about on the town :)
