LOS ANGELES -- This first gadget, the i2i Digital Music Broadcaster, allows you to broadcast your music to someone wearing the other unit. They come in packs of two and have a range of about 30 feet.
Next, if your Mac
(AAPL Quote) has a tendency to run too hot, Gadget Grrl has links to downloads that help monitor and solve the problem.
Now more about that i2i.
Here's how it works. Plug one of the i2i Stream devices into an audio player and then plug your headphones into the opposite end of the device.
Click on the device to one of the seven colors (these are actually different channels).
Press "send" and the color will blink until it was linked up with another i2i device.
On the second i2i device, if you want to receive the signal, you just plug in a pair of headphones and press the button on the top of the device. It will blink until it has found the color (channel) that correlates with the first device. Once the two colors match, press "receive" and you can listen to what the first user is listening to.
Why go through all of this?
For starters it eliminates the need to share a set of headphones to hear the latest track your friend or colleagues just downloaded to an MP3 player. And you don't have to be standing right next to them either, range on these is up to 30 feet.
