iDAB? Not Quite There Yet

iDABHere at GeekyWood we have reviews of the worst and the best gadgets, and this little technology snippet is unfortunately one of the worse.

The iDAB is advertised as a mini digital radio gadget that attaches to your iPod, technically giving your iPod DAB (Digital Radio) functionality.

In reality when we tested the iDAB unit it was not actually part of the iPod, it didn’t use the iPods screen, navigation buttons or even its headphone socket.

Instead it sat on the iPod and used it as an expensive battery, occasionally falling off to… Continue Reading»
