Technika SP-307b iPod speakers from Tesco

This is a Technika SP-307b iPod speaker from Tesco, for the bargain price of £25. It has a little pop out dock connector for the iPod to sit in, and runs off mains power or batteries. The sound quality is quite acceptable and due to the dock connector, charges your iPod while it’s being used.

I bought the Technika iPod speaker for work so that I can listen to music at my desk; my PC having no speakers. So now I can inflict my own taste in music on fellow workmates, rather than listen to theirs all the time.

I’m quite pleased with my iPod Touch, it’s proving to be a useful device, and 16GB being plenty of storage since so far I’ve put on all my decent music and only used 4GB. This probably means I need to buy some more CDs

Also in the picture you can see my Nixie clock and a photo of Mont Blanc. My iPod Touch is encased in a Griffin iClear polycarbonate case which has proved its worth several times already. Since I work in a school, full of deft little fingers I keep anything that looks valuable hidden out of site, or in my pockets. I’ve so far bounced my leg (and so my iPod) off several table corners which, had I not had the iPod protected would have probably damaged the case.

Here’s a tip – when carrying your iPod in a pocket, put the screen towards your leg so it doesn’t smash if the iPod gets bashed against something. I once destroyed a walkman doing that, and it was one of those expensive ones with soft-touch electronic controls rather than a clunky 80′s style one.
