Following the iLuv iHD171 HD radio, we’ve spotted another product from the popular iPod/iPhone accessories maker. It’s the iLUV iMM283, a device that can charge both an iPod (1st, 2nd or 3rd generation) and an iPhone, while playing music from any of the two (in case two devices are connected). In addition, the iLuv’s baby can also be used for listening to the radio or for checking out local weather alerts. For the latter, iLuv relies on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to store up to 10 alert messages.
Immediately notable on the iMM283 is a big screen where all this (weather, station and song info) is on display. Two 5W speakers offer depth and clarity, while remote control is included in the box for pure convenience. Too bad it’s not a “remote control/Bluetooth headset” combo so you don’t have to get up when the phone rings. Now that would be something.

In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
