Touted to fuse urban style with quality audio, the Boombotix Street Speaker relies on Bluetooth connectivity to hook up to your media playback devices. You can clip it to your belt, slip it in a bag or hook it up to a bike, and voila ? here you are, a veritable, walking library of tunes that you can share with the rest of the world. Of course, who are we to stop you from just leaving it perched on your desk? That?d be defeating the purpose of its existence though, as if you settle for the latter, you might as well purchase a more decent set of desktop speakers.
Offering up to 8 hours of non-stop audio playback, the battery requires approximately a full hour to recharge. It is also showerproof, and despite being wireless, an aux input is there just in case you have non-Bluetooth devices that want to share the music love.

We could all use a few more amazing Android wallpapers on our devices and when it comes to the designs of Andrew Bell ? he makes some of the best in the biz. You may remember his work for designing that first round of Android collectibles the world went crazy over. His newest project is the Android Foundry, a site he started to display his latest Android creations (you may remember those Android ice cube trays we told you guys about awhile back ? yeah, that was them).
Click for full size
Other than actual products, the Android Foundry has a nice assortment of wallpapers designed by Mr. Bell himself, that show off our beloved Android in a variety of scenarios. Everything from the Bug Droid lazying about in the sun, to a Madonna clad Andy dancing on stage ? there?s a little something for everyone. The latest is the above marshmallow Andy on a stick, in celebration of National Toasted Marshmallow Day (yup, it?s a real day). Cute and a little bit morbid, you can find more great works (in multiple sizes) from Andrew Bell by hitting up the source link below.

Along with having introduced the hybrid ENVY x2 convertible tablet running on Windows 8, HP also introduced two new ultrabook models adding the company?s TouchSmart touchscreen technologies. While slim and powerful, these ultrabooks differ from the ENVY x2 in that the display is not detachable. Rather, users have the option of controlling the HP Spectre TouchSmart Ultrabook or the HP ENVY TouchSmart Ultrabook 4 from either the trackpad or the built-in touchscreens.
HP Spectre TouchSmart Ultrabook
The original HP Spectre was initially unveiled earlier this year at the Consumer Electronics Show and features a lot of Gorilla Glass in its design. Since then, HP has gone back to a more traditional metal finish and the HP Spectre TouchSmart is a continuation of that premium design. The ultrabook features a 15.6-inch multi-touch Radiance Full HD display with IPS technology and an all-metal design that tapers to just 17.9 mm at the thinnest point. The package weighs 4.77 pounds.
The newest member of the Spectre family features the latest Intel Core processors and is the first HP notebook to feature the Thunderbolt port. The notebook also features an�mSATA solid-state drive with Intel Rapid Start, Intel Identity Protection�Technology, Intel Anti-Theft Technology, Intel Smart Response and Intel Smart Connect technologies, and a full array of ports, including Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0 and HDMI.
The notebook is expected to retail starting in December in the U.S. at a starting price of $1,399.
HP ENVY TouchSmart Ultrabook 4
Like the Spectre TouchSmart, the HP ENVY TouchSmart also features a multitouch display. While the Spectre comes with a Full HD display, the ENVY comes with a 720p HD screen. The ENVY measures 23 mm thin and weighs the same as the Spectre at 4.77 pounds.
The ENVY can be powered for up to 8 hours on a single charge and will utilize the ?latest Intel processors, solid-state drive options, and the same Intel technologies available on the HP SpectreXT TouchSmart Ultrabook. HP innovations such as HP CoolSense, HP Imagepad, HP ProtectSmart, HP TrueVision HD Webcam, HP Connected Photo, HP Connected Music and HP Connected Backup also are included.? The device will also have the option for AMD graphics card with 2 GB graphics memory.
The ENVY TouchSmart will arrive in time for the holidays and pricing will be announced at a later date.

You know the old saying ?time flies when you?re having fun?? It is so true. I can?t believe that I?ve been doing The Gadgeteer for 15 years. I started this site back in 1997, which seems like the stone age as far as gadgets are concerned. Back in those days, cutting edge meant a Palm Pilot and a 28.8kbps modem. Now we carry smartphones that are a 100 times more powerful than those original PDAs and more than 200 times faster than our old dial up modems. Besides gadgets, The Gadgeteer has seen other changes over the years, from the way the site looks, to the great team of writers and all of you who visit every day.�Let?s celebrate with some presents! Full contest details after the jump.

This Ultrabook is thin, stylish and named after the God Zeus. The Cyberpower Zeus M Ultrabook looks pretty stylish. It?s also super thin. But not so thin on performance.
It was designed to deliver just the right amounts of performance, portability and smart capabilities. It packs in an Intel Core i5-3317U Ivy Bridge Dual Core processor, with an energy-efficient HM77 chipset. There?s also a whisper quiet 60GB SSD and 8GB RAM.
The Zeus-M2 model will carry 16GB RAM as well as double the SSD, without adding on any extra bulk. It is just under an inch thin and weighs less than 4 pounds. I can see why they named it after Zeus. This truly sounds like an ultrabook from the gods!
