iLuv Intros iSP100 Portable Speaker

Add as a preferred source on Google

Peripheral and accessory maker iLuv is known for its unique take on AV and portable media peripherals, and the company is showing its style once again with the new iSP100 portable speaker system. Designed to work with any media player, phone, or device that offers a stereo headphone output, the iSP100 isn’t designed to blow out your neighbors’ eardrums, but rather to deliver an immersive listening experience for an affordable price.

“iLuv is thrilled to bring consumers a powerful-sounding and ultra-portable speaker option that will set a standard for on-the-go music listening,” said iLuv sales VP Robert Caputo, in a statement. “Unlike other products on the market that feature mono sound and less than half the output power, the iLuv iSP100 raises the bar for portability and sound.”

The iSP100 claims to offer 720° Surround Sound (we guess that means you have to turn around twice to fully appreciate it), and iAura acoustic speaker technology. The unit operates off three AAA batteries or a DC adapter, pushes 2 Watts per channel, and weighs just a quarter pound. The unit ships with a carrying pound and features volume controls on its body. It works with iPods, iPhones, and any music player with a 3.5mm output jack.

The iSP100 should be available this month for $34.99.

Few things feel as satisfying as blasting pixelated ducks. However, I never imagined doing it with an earbud. Then again, gaming accessories have taken stranger forms.

A developer who posts as Dividivan on X turned one AirPod into a miniature, gun-like controller you can point and tap, but it only works with a Mac. The side project became BipBop, a free website that lets you use your AirPods as a controller for 30 throwback minigames.

Researchers developed an AI tool that predicts cancer survival odds by analyzing patients’ face
A selfie isn't a crystal ball, but AI researchers say facial photos could offer clues about cancer survival.

An ordinary face photo may contain health clues that aren't immediately obvious. Researchers at Mass General Brigham have developed an AI system that analyzes facial photographs and estimates a cancer patient's biological age and survival chances. The findings, published in The Lancet Digital Health, suggest facial analysis could eventually help doctors make more informed treatment decisions.

How can AI estimate cancer survival from a face?
