This gives me the horn… (sorry).

Designer Matt Richmond brings us this stylishly antique take on the iPhone dock. 
With acoustic amplification only (none of that fussy, electronic stuff), it's a fantastically quirky juxtaposition of ancient and modern. He'll flog you one for about $200, (apparently).

Objects of desire: The Apple Magic Mouse

I think the new Apple "Magic Mouse" http://www.apple.com/magicmouse/ looks incredible… it may be the best looking product they have ever made – and with Apple, that's saying something.


I'm currently a user of the cordless "mighty mouse"… and while I don't hate it with a vengeance like some do, it does have it's faults. For instance, the central "nipple" style scroll wheel only works sporadically. And cleaning, while not impossible like some claim, is certainly a pain. So it remains to be seen if the technology packed into the gorgeous form factor of the new offering actually delivers. I hope so, and I can't wait to get my hands on one to find out!
