Think Outside, makers of the Stowaway Portable Mice and Keyboards for various handheld devices, yesterday announced the public availability of a new portable speaker system. The Boomtube H201 is priced at $199.99 and should be in stores shortly.

The Boomtube H201, Think Outside said, comes in a aluminum, tubular design and is the first portable speaker system to incorporate both a bass tube and twist off speakers.

Other features of the Boomtube H201 include a Lithium-ion battery which offers up to five hours of sound, a weight of just over three pounds, an included carrying case and 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter that will allow the speakers to work with mobile phones.

“The Boomtube H2O1 is the perfect accessory for iPod and music phone users who are looking for a portable speaker that sounds great,” said Gregvan den Dries, CEO and president of Think Outside. “Until now, people had to choose between great sound or portability, there just didn’t seem to be anything in the middle that combined great sound with portability. The Boomtube H2O1 has over 40 watts of power which is unheard of in portable speakers. Plus it’s got an integrated sub-woofer, detachable speakers for true stereo separation and an internal rechargeable lithium battery that last 5 hours. There really isn’t anything quite like it on the market.”

CES 2023: HD Hyundai’s Avikus is an A.I. for autonomous boat and marine navigation
Demonstration of NeuBoat level 2 autonomous navigation system at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show

This content was produced in partnership with HD Hyundai.
Autonomous vehicle navigation technology is certainly nothing new and has been in the works for the better part of a decade at this point. But one of the most common forms we see and hear about is the type used to control steering in road-based vehicles. That's not the only place where technology can make a huge difference. Autonomous driving systems can offer incredible benefits to boats and marine vehicles, too, which is precisely why HD Hyundai has unveiled its Avikus AI technology -- for marine and watercraft vehicles.

More recently, HD Hyundai participated in the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, to demo its NeuBoat level 2 autonomous navigation system for recreational boats. The name mashes together the words "neuron" and "boat" and is quite fitting since the Avikus' A.I. navigation tech is a core component of the solution, it will handle self-recognition, real-time decisions, and controls when on the water. Of course, there are a lot of things happening behind the scenes with HD Hyundai's autonomous navigation solution, which we'll dive into below -- HD Hyundai will also be introducing more about the tech at CES 2023.

"The pleasure of Busby's company is what I most enjoy," he reluctantly reads. "He put a tack on Miss Yancy's chair, and she called him a horrible boy. At the end of the month, he was flinging two kittens across the width of the room ..."
