I had thought that the trend with gadgets was to keep making them smaller and smaller, no matter how easy it makes them to lose.  Sure, this will make it so that you can record things directly to your iPod, but it’s twice the size of a normal tape recorder.  Something has just gone horribly backwards here.  I know, it offers all sorts of features, but as a fan of the sleek and portable it’s hard to get past the size.  Then again maybe you’ll be happy to have a gadget again that has some meat on its bones.

I can’t say that I’ve ever quite understood the Hello Kitty trend.  However, I am a big believer in companies offering several docks and speakers to fit a wide range of tastes.  You shouldn’t be stuck with a plain black set of speakers if you’re a pink and white fanatic.  Those of you that are into Hello Kitty or have a relative that is can pick up this dock for a not too bad price. It comes in white as well as an all over pink version.  This Japanese dock has surface mounting technology and lossless energy amplication technology.  It offers 360-degree sound output that’ll keep it from sounding like a novelty speaker that you just picked up because it featured your favorite cat.  It quite obviously features an iPod dock, but you can also plug other audio devices in through the stereo output.  You can pick one of these up for 14,800 yen or about $175 .

If you’re just not satisfied with all of the modern looking docks out there, perhaps you’d like something that feels a little more earthy.  It does’nt get much more earthy than a log filled with speakers.  Sure, they’ve cleaned up the wood and shaved it down so that it looks a whole lot more smooth, but it’s still just a log of wood. Just plug your very modern looking iPod Touch or iPhone directly into the dock and it’ll play your music all the while giving your phone a bit of a charge.  The dock is handmade out of cedar, so you’ll get the joy of smelling cedar while you listen to your music.  It comes with 2 USB cables and a headphone jack cable.  It also has a USB wall adapter so that you can power it off of your standard electric outlet.  You can purchase is for $238 through Etsy

If you’re trying to set up a desk in a dorm room you have to be smart about the space you use up.  That usually means working solely on a laptop and all of your other gadgets need to do double duty.  This POD Lamp might be worth adding to the list of gadgets to pick up before August comes around.  The light moves to all sorts of angles, plus it can hold and charge your iPod within the base of the light. The base also helps with cable management since the cord for your MP3 player of choice just slips through the bottom of the lamp.  It features a 13 watt bulb that is said to last up to 10,000 hours, so it should last through any studying you might do throughout the year.  The light itself can function at multiple heights and angles, you just have to find the one that works for you
