Today the iFrogs company launched a new product on the market called Boots which is capable of amplifying the sounds emitted by a mobile terminal. We are talking about an external speaker that does not connect to an iDevice via wire or Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, but instead uses a technology called near fied audio technology. All you have to do is place an iDevice on top of the accessory and it will pick up the sound emitted by the iDevice's speaker and amplify it by reproducing it through the 2 watt speaker it comes equipped with. Everything is done using NFA technology and iFrogz say that there is no hidden microphone to pick up the sounds.
Need to amp the audio on your device? The iFrogz Boost NearField Audio™ speaker is the simplest and most convenient solution ever. Just set almost any smartphone or other digital media device on top of the Boost while the external speakers are playing and the Boost magically amplifies the sound. It just works! No wires. No Bluetooth. No Synching. No problem. An auxiliary line-in jack is provided for devices without external speakers. Many have asked if the Boost has a hidden microphone to pull this off. Nope. The Boost uses patent pending NearFA™ technology that actually syncs the audio signal from inside your device before pumping it out the two high-quality 2W x 2RMS speakers. Your tunes are then boosted with room filling sound.
iFrogz Boost it works for about 15 hours with the help of two normal batteries, but it can also be powered via USB. The idea of iFrogz is extremely interesting and Boost only costs $40, but it remains to be seen how well it performs in real life.
