The Lasonic iPod Ghetto Blaster has been hyped for a while now, but this was our first opportunity to get a look at it up close—and as you can see, we took full advantage. We also managed to score a full-feature list which I lovingly hand-typed word-for-word from a spec sheet (weird errors and all). And for those of you who thought this thing would never see the light of day, we learned that the boombox will be priced at $US169 and it is ready and waiting for interested vendors. You can check out the full specs after the break.
I was talking to a friend earlier, but that is quite enough showing off from me. Check out this DVD boom box from Go Video. The device packs in a 7″ LCD along with CD and DVD playback capabilities. To wow you even further it has an AM/FM radio too.
The features themselves may not be something to shout about, but all compiled into this little package and you have our attention. Who cares if the screen is puny, it is big enough to do the job. (Insert willy joke here. Oh, sorry your willy is too small to qualify). Coupled with the fact you will be able to control your movies and music in stereo sound via the packaged remote and you have a solid little performer. I cannot remember this much functionality all in one device since…since, oh, I really cannot think of a decent multi-functioning gadget, Apple fan-boy that I am. Well, not at $159.99 anyway.

If you’re in the mood for combining the currently-in-favor iPod with the darling of the ’80s, the boombox, check out this currently unannounced DBA iPod speaker dock. It’s styled after the ghetto blasters of yore, but has a room for your iPod. Not many other details other than the tape player-esque buttons on the front and other details that you see. It’s the best of both worlds, which means you should be prepared to have your subway ride ruined once again. galleryPost('dbadock', 3, 'DBA Dock'); Thanks tipster!
Why settle for a factory made Lasonic iPod boombox when you can make your own with a vintage 1985′s Ghetto Blaster? Giz Reader Angelo Brisimitzakis posted his do-it-yourself guide so you can get the real ghetto look and sound yourself. galleryPost('ghettoblaster', 12, '1985 Ghetto Blaster Modded for iPod');
Carajo de boombox de los cojones, brothels! Check out those ghetto colors and speakers in that Lasonic dock-to-go for the iPod, mamasita! Or like they call it, the “high performance music system.” Arriba! The 15-pound boombox comes with all kinds of flashy lights and 2 x 15W speakers. Not amazing power, but enough pa tocar el Chacarrón! After the jump.
