Coke Ad Turns Magazine into Amplifying iPod Dock

coke ipod ad Coke Ad Turns Magazine into Amplifying iPod Dock
Coca-Cola Brazil has created a unique ad for Capricho Magazine. The back page ad has tabs to allow you fold it up. You roll up the magazine, insert the ad into it’s own tabs and now you have an iPhone dock that not only holds your phone, it actually works as an amplifier too. I don’t think your home stereo has any real competition with this one but check out the video below to see (and hear) how it works:

Very creative and smart advertising because not only will consumers save the ad, they will save the entire magazine to use as an on-the-go amplifier. Simple and effective, you could easily recreate this with any other magazine with a thicker ad inside it. Not only that, it’s totally green as it’s 100% recyclable. All around win. (via foodiggity)

Skull Shaped Speaker Dock

New from Jarre (who you might remember from their 11 foot tall iPod dock), it’s the Aeroskull, an iPhone speaker dock shaped like a skull. Behind the metallic skull’s sunglasses are a pair of 15 watt speakers while a 40 watt subwoofer pumps out the bass straight from his dome to your dome. Probably ideal for playing some death metal or even Grateful Dead.

You get your choice of 11 colors and while the dock is still using Apple’s now outdated 30 pin connector, the speakers are also bluetooth compatible for wireless audio streaming straight to head. A wireless bone remote comes with it too. It’s available this month in the UK for about $560. Apparently death don’t have no mercy…for the poor. (via pocket-lint)

New Sony iOS docks promise clearer sound thanks to magnetic fluid

You can only skim through so many iPad/iPod/iPhone docks before things start to get predictable, and when a speaker dock stands out, it's usually for a retro design or a little mood lighting. Sony's two newest iOS docks, the CMT-V50iP and the CMT-V75BTiP, may look like your standard options, but they aim to break the mold by using magnetic fluid instead of speaker dampers to move sound. Sony says this technology provides clearer audio with less distortion, and no dampers means a slimmer design. If your music collection extends beyond your iDevice, you can take advantage of the CD player and built-in DAB and DAB+ radio, or -- if you've migrated to the digital age -- stream over Bluetooth on the CMT-V75BTiP or connect via USB on the CMT-V50iP. Sony just announced these yesterday, and pricing info remains MIA, though The Verge reports that both models will drop in the next few months.
