JBL speakers have long been associated with great sound, and this time the JBL Spyro offers a design that is aesthetically pleasing to complement the great quality audio. The Spyro comes with a subwoofer that is flanked by a pair of flower-shaped speakers, where all three will come in white, black, teal, orange, or fuchsia colors. Even the cables are covered in cloth in order to make everything look uniform. The Spyro utilizes the most recent Odyssey transducer technology inside each satellite speaker, with an Atlas driver powering the subwoofer for impressive audio. This 2.1 system works great for your computer or games console, but it won’t really do as a high end audio product.

The Navigon 7100 was reviewed by Laptop Mag and does pretty admirably. Surely you can’t go wrong with a glossy black look, and the Navigon 7100 will surely look at home in even the fanciest of vehicles. Amazingly enough, it boasts free traffic data - something rarely heard about among GPS devices. The Reality View feature that offers a photorealistic view of turns and Lane Assistant also go a long way in endearing the 7100 to its reviewers. Unforunately, the 7100 falls short in terms of the user interface, and the lack of voice options could ruffle some feathers. The Navigon 7100 also comes with a speed warning feature and Bluetooth connectivity to help you chat without taking your hands off the wheel when you’re driving. It is priced rather high though at $649, but if you want class, the Navigon 7100 certainly doesn’t fall short.

Looks like Microsoft’s Zune will be experiencing a price drop from tomorrow onwards, with a $199 retail price to help entice those sitting on the fence to part with their hard earned money. Apparently customer satisfaction has been pretty high with the 30GB device (approximately 94%), so this could be just the ticket to help make up your mind if you have been holding out a long time for one. This could possibly be a strategy to steal thunder from Apple’s upcoming iNnoucement…er, announcement concerning a revamped/new iPod.
