Sirius competition?

Yes, I totally stole the title of this blog post from this article.  But I can never pass up a good pun.  They make the world go round.

Anyway, we all love music.  And who wouldn't love access to 13,000 Internet radio stations on one flash drive?  Well, other than the recording industry.

Aluratek's USB Internet Radio Jukebox allows users to access Internet radio stations without the hassle of going from Web site to Web site.  Has anyone else noticed that any advancement in technology always allows us to be lazier than we previously were?  It's true.  :-)

After plugging in the flash drive, an "iTunes-like" platform appears and allows the user to browse between any number of radio stations from 150 different countries.  And it's only $40.  Yeah, the dollar is weak, but methinks you can afford that.

Verdict:  I'm not a big radio guy, but I could definitely see myself giving this a try.

Solar iPhone charger?

Out of left field comes a solar iPhone dual case/charger.  Although it may be trying to help the environment, this device may lack practicality.  Not only does it take 12 hours to charge, but you kind of have to be in the sunlight to have it charge as well.  Not many people I know have 12 hours to devote to standing outside.  In my mind, it's one of those things that sounds like a great idea, but it's just not very feasible.
