BoomBotix Rex: A Rough And Ready Speaker Design Hits Kickstarter

BoomBotix turns to Kickstarter to fund its Rex, an all-weather speaker that looks to be more resilient than its prehistoric namesake.

There are some instances where enjoying music while active can’t be aided by a set of headphones. Take mountain biking, for instance: if you’re doing it right, headphones probably aren’t a great idea. In cases such as these, a portable speaker might make for a smart solution, but the problem there is that portable speakers are akin to bones in that they can, and often will, be broken.

Those that want a soundtrack to go with their rough and rugged lifestyle will need a rough and rugged speaker. That’s where Boombotix comes in. The company has made a name for itself with its line of durable speakers and it just might have come up with its most resilient yet. The upcoming Boombotix Rex looks like the kind of speaker that could survive a journey through Jurassic Park and come out the other end still rockin’.

This rugged 2.1 sound system is housed in a hexagonal casing that features two 36mm drivers along with a built-in “subwoofer”. This should allow the listener to feel the music as much as hear it, especially if mounted on a deck or bicycle. Music can be streamed from any compatible Bluetooth device for up to six hours thanks to a   built-in rechargeable battery.

The Rex is still a  Kickstarter project, so it remains as elusive as an actual T-Rex at this point, but it should be ready to stomp out early next year.

Football Pro updated to version 2.0, ready for the 2013 season

Football Pro 13 for Windows Phone

Are you ready, for some Football? Well are ya?

An update to Football Pro '12 (formerly known as NFL Pro '12) has been updated over at the Windows Phone Marketplace in preparation for the upcoming season. While the Marketplace title stills reflects the Football Pro '12 name, the version 2.0 update takes the app to Football Pro '13.

Confused? So were we but apparently it takes a while before the Marketplace will reflect the name change for the app. What you're looking for is version 2.0. Once you run the Football Pro, you'll see things setup for the 2013 season within the app itself.  Even though the title is dated '12.

Along with all the stats, scores and standings from the season, here's a few of the features Football Pro '13 will offer.

Fantasy Playoff: Personalize your own fantasy playoff prediction and pick who is going to win the Super bowl this yearFavorite Team Tile: Follow your favorite team as a secondary live tile and gain easy access to your team’s pageLive Scores: Get the latest scores while the game is under wayLatest News and Roster: Check the latest news for every team and league wise, and get the full Roster with detailed information about all playersLatest Videos: Watch the latest podcasts about the National Football LeagueLive Sports Talk: Share your comments and knowledge with everybody on your team’s pagePlayer Tweets: Follow your favorite NFL player tweets right on the appLive Radio: When you're on the go you can listen to the live game via our Football Pro ’13 Radio

As with the previous version, Football Pro '13 lays everything out nicely. The app utilizes the Modern UI Design with your central pages covering your profile, live scores, standings, and teams separated by division. If you're looking for a one stop source for the NFL season, Football Pro '13 is worth a look.

Football Pro '13 is a free, ad supported app for your Windows Phone. You can find it here at the Windows Phone Marketplace. Remember, we are told it may take a while before the title changes on the Marketplace. What you are looking for is Version 2.0.

Thanks, Luis and Kay, for the tip!
