Is this the smallest piano ever?

Posted on January 30, 2012 by admin Leave a comment

The world’s smallest piano has just been made public by the good old SEGA Toys. They released this ‘smallest piano ever’ in the Japanese market. They have christened it the ‘grand piano’, no wonder why as this marvel is proficient enough to play more than 100 preloaded songs. The price tag it carries would rather be a bit heavy on your pocket – $549. I am off to the markets, what about you? Via: Techeblog

Just few hours back I had talked about Parrot’s PMK5800 plug and play car kit, but today France’s Parrot, recently announced the launch of the “Party”, a light and digital tablets compact mobile wireless speaker with what looks to be a little striking audio technology built- in. With the help of Parrot Party Bluetooth speaker system, users can transmit their favorite tracks from any Bluetooth Stereo (A2DP) music. With nothing but a pair of 3W speakers, your “party” will most possibly be a bit limited, though it at least does brags of providing support for A2DP to opt stereo audio from any well-suited Bluetooth source. The device, which is only 9 inches long and 22 ounces, is also handier than the twelve-pound Boombox, and it claims to draw off the tunes for a complete 4 hours on its integrated rechargeable battery. The Parrot Party Bluetooth speaker system is to be rolled out July with the price tag of 119€ or almost $160. Image Read
