PocketLoops portable

    music studio

    PocketLoops from Gear4 might look pretty simple as only two octaves of piano keys are included, but it is pretty complex to use. The user can play the keys with 13 included synths to produce loops, and then combine them for a hit track. The beats created can be done with a drum kit that includes house, drum & bass, hip-hop, reggae, rock, and more.

    It costs US$79.99.

    Star Wars Death Star shirt

    The Death Star is one of the most feared “weapons” of the Galactic Republic. Wear this symbol of fear on your chest with the US$29.99 Star Wars Death Star electronic attack shirt — where it will work out a blast sequence that includes the superlaser power-up and fire.

    Glowing EL technology and an embedded white LED will be there for added final blast effects, and no pixie dust is used to get the sound out, as a wired speaker box does the job just as well. It’s powered by a quartet of dry batteries.

    iPhone bicycle mount

    This bicycle mount from Joy Factory, known as the StormCruiser, is the latest mounting system for smart phones from Apple. Sporting a scratch-resistant case, it will allow you to access the GPS, phone and music features without fear of the glass display cracking when you take a tumble as you navigate through tough mountain bike trails.

    Being weather-resistant, this case will be able to offer protection for your iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S from water, dust and grease damage.

    It costs US$49.95.
