You may soon be able to put your iPod nano on The Pill




There are currently a plethora of speaker docking systems out there, for use with iPhones or classic iPods. There have been some solutions created specifically for previous generations of iPod nanos, such as the devices made by Green Power and Dexim, but the new sixth-generation nanos have a different form factor with different docking requirements. One of the companies responding to that change is Singapore's Gavio, which recently launched a speaker dock designed specifically for the current incarnation of the nano. It's called The Pill, although if you want to get technical, a more accurate name would have been The Capsule.

Unfortunately, there aren't many technical specs available on The Pill at this moment. If the photos are anything to go by, however, the user's iPod is loaded by being dropped into a clear plastic tray in the middle of the device, which is then pushed back into place, not unlike an old school front-loading cassette deck.

It's unclear whether or not the nano's touchscreen controls can be used once it's loaded, although the dock does have hand-twist controls for volume and track selection. Sound courses out of speakers located at either end of the 147 x 48 mm (5.8 x 1.9 inch) device, while a little set of legs on the back keep it from rolling away.


Gavio's website indicates that The Pill will soon be available for pre-order, although there's no word as to when, or for what price. The company will have a booth at CES next month, however, where it's likely that the product will make an appearance.

Modular housing concept boasts 64 possible combinations

Italian Designer Gabriel Aramu has conceptualized a modular housing system that seems to offer endless possibilities. Dubbed "Sliding Hub," these prefabricated cubes join together to create a temporary housing solution for multiple situations. In the event that emergency shelters are required, the modules can be packed and transported to any destination. On arrival, the modules are easily joined together, with the flexibility to house individuals, small groups or large numbers without limitation. Each module incorporates an insulation system suitable for all kinds of weather conditions. In addition, the temporary accommodation units provide a comfortable standard of living, important to natural disaster victims. Constructed with steel reinforcements, numerous modules can be assembled together to create various sizes and shapes, whilst sliding them open creates large internal spaces. According to Aramu, the system can be configured 64 different ways, wh...

NASA discovered two Earth-sized planets

Scientists have for the first time discovered two Earth-sized planets outside the solar system, orbiting a distant star resembling our sun. This chart compares the first Earth-size planets found around a sun-like star to planets in our own solar system, Earth and Venus. NASA's Kepler mission discovered the new found planets, called Kepler-20e and Kepler-20f. Kepler-20e is slightly smaller than Venus with a radius .87 times that of Earth. Kepler-20f is a bit larger than Earth at 1.03 times the radius of Earth. Venus is very similar in size to Earth, with a radius of .95 times that our planet. An artist's rendering shows a planet called Kepler-20e in this handout released December 20, 2011. An artist's illustration of Kepler-22b, a planet known to comfortably circle in the habitable zone of a sun-like star, in an image released by NASA on December 5, 2011.
