“Hannah Montana” & “High School Musical” Go iPod
08.21.07 - 12:47pm
Disney has announced two new iPod Boomboxes just in time for the kids to show off to their fellow classmates.
The boomboxes are sure to be a hit amongst the young tween crowd with one red boombox done in a “High School Musical” red locker theme and the other done in a purple ladylike “Hannah Montana” theme.
“We are seeing kids and tweens quickly follow the adult market in terms of technology. Gone are the days of boxy TVs and CD players. This year, kids will be looking for flat screen TVs and iPod compatible speaker docks with great sound, and our new range is very much on the forefront of this trend,” said Chris Heatherly, vice president of global electronics for Disney Consumer Products.
The speakers feature and integrated iPod dock, a digital AM/FM tuner, projection of time and radio station shown on the ceiling, two 2- or 2.5-inch drivers with 2.5-3 watts per channel, and a smart/self timer chip.
