Fresh off the plane from our trip to China to find a high quality manufacturing partner. Check out some of the cool sights we saw from our iPhone:

Snakes

Snake Wine - Yummy!

Olympic Characters on the side of the China Mobile Building. It was really cool, it changed every 3-5seconds.

This 580lb Amazonian Fish was staying in the restroom of the Crowne Point Hotel we were staying at in Shenzehn, China.

Hong Kong beer fest!

Overall our trip to China was great and we found some amazing potential factories that we believe can create the high quality product we are looking to provide you with. Hope everyone had a great Memorial day weekend and stay tuned to the blog for LiveSpeakR Updates. Things are moving at a lightning fast speed and we’ll be able to show you some of the amazing work we’ve been doing real soon!

Intro

Our design for the LiveSpeakR™ can be better described as epic journey against all odds of big business and everything else to put out a quality accessory the likes of which has never been seen before for the iPhone or iPod Touch. Today I’m going to give you a look inside what the development of the LiveSpeakR™ looks like and attempt to explain why it is the essential accessory for the iPhone or iPod Touch.

Paint the Portrait

Drawing of the LiveSpeakR

Indulge me for a second and imagine what life would be like if you had a LiveSpeakR™ today.

Imagine clipping your iPhone in with the speakers completely hidden behind your iPhone (Fig. 6) You can now take your portable sound system anywhere you want and enjoy entertainment features as they were meant to be.

You rotate the LiveSpeakR™ clockwise revealing the beautifully shaped speakers to release symphonic sound in portrait view of the media player. After the ballad is over you decide it is time to enjoy a movie, perhaps in your hotel room before the big conference (WWDC). You rotate the LiveSpeakR™ clockwise again this time gracefully expanding the speakers to work with the wide screen viewing of your favorite movie. (Fig. 5) Extending the stand you have your choice of three viewing angles to make sure you can see the movie properly.

The high quality sound begins to hum the familiar introduction music to an epic sci-fi flick that you’ve seen a hundred times already but it never gets old. A friend enters the room and wants to hear that leaked podcast that reveals the details of the keynote speech your about to hear. You turn the LiveSpeakR™ counter-clockwise back to portrait mode and indulge him. It is at this same time that a call chimes in and knowing it is a co-worker with great news you put him on speakerphone and using the LiveSpeakR™ you can share a conference call without RF interruption.

After the conference is over and your long drive home starts you set the LiveSpeakR™ in your passenger seat to read your latest audio book aloud as you begin your path towards home.

Life is good.

New iPhone Speaker System, the LiveSpeakR™ is Gearing Up to Rock

The LiveSpeakR™ is a boombox in your pocket! Invented by 23-year-old Erik Groset, the LiveSpeakR™ (www.LiveSpeakR.com) is an ultra portable speaker system for the iPhone unlike any other. It features a set of speakers that fold-up and store conveniently behind your iPhone for maximum portability. The speakers expand, contract, and rotate to work with both portrait and landscape modes. The LiveSpeakR™ is shielded against radio frequency interference in order to give off the maximum sound quality.

Carlsbad, CA (PRWEB) February 19, 2008 — D & G Solutions, LLC a partnership headed by 23year-old inventor Erik Groset and co-founded by Robin DeFay, is proud to announce the LiveSpeakR™ (www.LiveSpeakR.com), an ultra-portable speaker system and boombox for the iPhone.

This amazing new speaker system features a set of speakers that fold-up and store conveniently behind the iPhone when they are not in use allowing for maximum portability. When the unit is stored (or hidden) it piggy-backs on the iPhone making it only slightly thicker than the actual iPhone. The unique style of the LiveSpeakR™ is visually stunning featuring beautiful curves inspired by modern art and design.

I’m very proud of the LiveSpeakR I believe it could be a perfect accessory for everyone’s iPhone. I invented it from the perspective of the end-user and everything they would want in a speaker-system.

But, the truly impressive functionality of the LiveSpeakR™ is what makes this product shine above the competition. The speakers expand, contract, and rotate to work with both portrait and landscape modes. Behind the LiveSpeakR™ unit is a stand to hold the speakers up at multiple viewing angles. Either 2 AAA batteries or an AC-adapter powers the unit. High quality speakers are shielded from radio frequency interference, which allows the iPhone to operate without going into airplane mode and gives it the ability to still receive calls. The LiveSpeakR™ can also function as a speaker phone, allowing users increased conference call capability. These are just a few of the awesome features of the LiveSpeakR™.

Inventor Erik Groset, whom was recently added to the Young Inventors International Hall of Fame (www.younginventors.org) commented on his invention, “I’m very proud of the LiveSpeakR I believe it could be a perfect accessory for everyone’s iPhone. I invented it from the perspective of the end-user and everything they would want in a speaker-system.” Groset and his company D&G Solutions, LLC is currently seeking a partner to license the LiveSpeakR™ to for production. He continued, that if the right partner was found, the LiveSpeakR™ could be available as early as Summer 2008. It should also be noted that the LiveSpeakR™ is backwards compatible with older generation players as well as potential future media players.
