This miniature military transport helicopter can really belt out the tunes. The Camouflage Helicopter Audio Player has both an FM radio with LED clock display where the cockpit would be and it can play music from flash cards or USB drives.
The controls are right there in the front of the chopper and it comes in either green camo or yellow camo. The battery is USB rechargeable and there’s an aux line-in. Takes me back to my days in ‘nam (when I went on vacation in ’06, good times). I’m pretty sure the only appropriate music to play from this is Ride Of The Valkyries (from Apocalypse Now).

TDK's Boombox rocked minds and windows alike with its modern take on a retro classic. Buoyed by its success, the casette-maker of old is back with new audio hardware at IFA. Three devices, again on the speaker front. First up is the Boombox Wireless, which is a similar, but updated, design from the original and features not only streaming sans cables via Bluetooth, but inductive charging, too. If you don't want to cut the cord completely, there's a 3.5mm aux input, USB slot for charging plus an FM radio and headphone output. Next up is the Wireless Weatherproof Speaker, which despite being described as "rugged" and boasting an IP 64 weather compliant design, looks like any regular device. It, too, has Bluetooth streaming and inductive charging, along with 3.5mm input and built-in microphone. If these two were all looking a little bit oblong, then the curious Wireless Charging Cube might be for you. Yep, it's Bluetooth streaming and the same wire-free charging, but this time that goes both ways. Plonk your Qi induction compatible device on top, and it'll juice that while you jam (there's a non wireless charging / charger version also.) How much do these slabs of sound cost? The Boombox is $399, the Wireless Weatherproof is $250 while the Wireless Charging Cube is $399. Not a peep on availability at this time, we'll connect you up though, once we get it.
