Kenwood’s Prodino gets good marks for storage options, not so much for price

Filed under: Portable Audio

The name of this portable digital audio system is partly derived from the Italian word for “great,” and we’re hoping it’s an accurate descriptor, because at a likely price of ¥45,000 ($462) plus another ¥12,600 ($129) for an iPod docking station, this thing isn’t as affordable (or stylish, for that matter) as previous products we’ve looked at. The Prodino (less sexily known as the CORE-A55) tries to earn the price tag by supporting not only USB but up to 32GB of storage on SD or microSD — perfect for that slotMusic collection you wasted your money on. With speaker output at only 10W each, though, we’re thinking a little shopping will find you a more attractive alternative.

What I love is wireless ghetto blasters. What I love is when they look really weird and awesome. And when they are waterproof, have rechargable batteries, and possibly even make use of solar power, wind power, of hydroelectricity; that is the most excellent. Oh also: iPod iPod iPod. From the suave …
