Here at TUAW, we read a lot of pre releases. I mean a lot of pre releases. And I stumbled acro one this morning for "SoundShare".Maybe I'm just not getting it. Maybe there's more to it. Advanced Technetix puts out a pre release a ouncing a product, which "enables iPod%26trade; users to co ect two different stereo headphones or eakers to their iPod%26trade; through a single jack." I 't this exactly the same thing as the audio litter I bought for a buck at the dollar store, which my daughters use to listen to the iPod together?
Advanced Technetix's CEO actually goes on record saying that the Sound Share is "not a technical marvel by any stretch, [but] is a simple, elegant and powerful low-price point product".
Now, it i 't as if litters can't be interesting. Take Boostaroo. The Boostaroo headphone amplifier and litter provides a 110% volume increase and can boost two audio outputs at the same time. That's cool. Our Laurie is a big fan of theirs. The built-in amp takes the litter to the next level.
But as Laurie says, even a lame a pre release can have a purpose and sell a product. If you're still interested in the Soundshare litter, you can pick it up free after rebate according to dealigg.com. Thank Laurie for the find. She rocks.
So readers, what do you think? If you ran this company, would you be putting out pre releases about audio litters? Let us know in the comments.
