If you went to any nightclub in the UK a couple of decades back there'd be groups of girls dancing in a circle round their handbags. Not so much an English folk ritual like the druids circling round Stonehenge but more likely a pragmatic response to the thought of getting their bags or the contents stolen. Perhaps Memorex had this ancient ritual in mind when they designed their new MiniMove, a handbag-shaped iPod dock in three fashionable 'iPod Nano' colours – black, teal and pink.
Here's the press release that they have sent us...
If you want a simple, convenient way to bring music outside with you this summer, the Memorex MiniMove is the answer. A leap forward from the classic boom box, the MiniMove is a portable, handbag-shaped iPod dock that will bring the music to your party, picnic or trip to the beach.
Available in matching iPod Nano colours - black, teal and pink - it is perfect for accessorising an outfit, completing a look for the bedroom or entertaining your friends and family. The integrated handle lets you carry your tunes in a smart, simple and fun way. All you have to do is plug in your iPod/iPhone or any other MP3 Player and you can start enjoying the music.
"The MiniMove is all about simplicity. We wanted to enable music to be played anywhere, outside or in the home, and then we wanted to make it look as good as it sounds" said Kasia van Hal, Retail Trade Marketeer at Memorex.
The Memorex MiniMove lets you play and charge all iPods/iPhones with docking compatibility and includes an FM radio with station presets. It also comes with a wireless remote and is equipped with a headphone socket for when you need to keep the noise down. In addition to this the MiniMove offers a choice of power sources; AC/DC for when you are at home, and AA batteries for on the move.
Pricing and Availability:
The Memorex MiniMove portable boom box for iPod will be available today at select retailers for a suggested retail price of £59.
