AOC’s New Aire Monitor Makes your Portable Media Larger Than Life
Well, maybe not larger than life…but 37 times larger than your iPhone’s display! AOC’s Aire Monitor with Docking Station lives up to its name with a built-in dock for your iPhone or iPod Touch; simply drop your device into the dock, and you’re able to watch all of your video content on a Full 1080p 23″ LED display (the Aire also features a pair of built-in SRS speakers, assuring that your videos have some premium sound to go with the high-def visuals). At just under 13mm thin, the Aire promises to not overwhelm your work space, and at $279.99, won’t overwhelm your wallet either. Check out the full release after the jump…
If you thought that Amazon’s Trade-In Store no longer offered good value for your used gear, think again; 2012 will continue to see the online giant helping their customers convert their old electronics into new products–and here are just a few of their current deals:
While U.S. iTunes customers have been enjoying Apples new iTunes Match service since mid November, Canada, Germany, Mexico and the UK have now joined the fold. Music lovers in these new regions will now be able to store their music collection (including ripped CDs) in the cloud, and have it accessible to any of their iDevices for $24.99 annually. The service is capped at 25,000 songs stored, but iTunes purchases don’t count toward your total; so basically you can store 25,000 songs from your personal CD selection, and an unlimited number of iTunes purchases. Obviously there are still plenty of regions waiting for iTunes match to arrive–and we’ll keep you informed as more countries are added.
Staying true to its word, Microsoft has added even more apps to its recently updated Xbox LIVE service including YouTube, MSNBC.com and iHeartRadio. Rather than tell you about it, click past the break to read what Microsoft’s own Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb had to say on his blog…

As we’ve said in many of our reviews, so much of how we feel about a product comes down to managing our expectations; and when it comes to our portable devices (ie: iPhones, iPads and Android devices), let’s face it: We don’t expect much in the audio department. Well, the folks at Harman know a thing or two about audio–and they don’t think that being on-the-go means that you should sacrifice audio quality…so they’ve introduced the JBL On Tour iBT. This small, portable speaker not only offers Bluetooth connectivity, but a rechargeable battery as well–and also promises audio quality on par with much larger and more expensive speaker solutions. Whether it’s watching a movie on your iPad or even hosting a conference call in your office, the On Tour iBT will have you covered. The JBL On Tour retails for $199, and we’ll have our full review as soon as we get our hands on one; until then, check after the jump for more info and the full PR…
