Mar 30, 2009

Our most recent useless gadget had the pleasure of being something not so useless. In fact, its uselessness will likely depend on just how old you are and if you remember carrying your photos around with you.

Altec Lansing’s SoundBlade is more than just an external Bluetooth amplifier/speaker for your mobile phone, it’s also a very usable hands free speaker phone.
