iHome’s iH15W iPod Speaker Changes Color

Add as a preferred source on Google

iHome is best known for its line of iPod-friendly accessories, and the company has now rolled out a new iH15W stereo system that can literally change color to match your decor—or cycle through colors to help you set a scene. The iH15W takes the form of a 5.5-inch cube and sports an iPod dock that should handle (and charge) just about any non-shuffle iPod released in 2004 or later. The unit also features with two Reson8 speakers and a passive subwoofer to give your tunes some thump, along with an aux input for non-iPod devices an audio sources.

But the iH15W’s signature feature is a translucent cabinet that can change color with a touch. According to iHome, the iH15W sports four color settings (we’re guessing blue, purple, red, and white, despite the rainbow of colors in the promotional graphic). Users can select a color manually, or let the unit cycle through colors on its own to liven up a space.

The iH15W is available now at a suggested price of $59.99.

Samsung's rolling home robot has been the industry's longest-running "will it ever actually ship" joke, and I'll admit I'd mostly given up on it. Now, there's finally a glimmer of hope.

Samsung first unveiled Ballie as a concept at CES 2020. Then, it showed it as a significantly upgraded version four years later. However, the company never confirmed a release date or committed to releasing it at all.

The US foreign-made robot crackdown is coming for future Roombas too
Future Roombas face new US sales hurdles, but existing models are unaffected

The FCC has already made it much harder for foreign drone makers such as DJI to bring new products into the US. Now, the same crackdown is reaching a machine far more likely to be moving around your living room.

The US government recently added foreign-made advanced robotic devices to the FCC’s Covered List. The announcement appeared focused on humanoids, robot dogs, and industrial machines, but an FCC spokesperson has confirmed to The Verge that robot vacuum cleaners are covered too.

The GOKO M6 Robotic Lawn Mower Brings Industrial Robotics to Modern Lawn Care
7 reasons this AI-driven powerhouse makes hands-free yard work smarter than ever
Grass, Lawn, Plant

Robotic lawn mowers can save homeowners hours of manual yard work, but not every model is designed for challenging properties. While many perform well on flat lawns, larger yards with uneven terrain, steep slopes, and multiple mowing zones require a mower built for more demanding conditions.

Developed by GOKO, the consumer robotics brand of Robot++, the GOKO M6 is an industrial-grade 4WD AI-powered robotic lawn mower that brings more than a decade of industrial robotics expertise to residential lawn care. It combines AI-powered four-wheel drive, advanced navigation technologies, and AI QuadVision obstacle detection to tackle complex landscapes with less manual intervention.
