In the saturated market of iPod accessories, it takes something special to stand out from the herd: a striking design, cool and unique features, excellent performance. You get the idea. Unfortunately, Radian Technologies' iBlast offers none of these. Other than its low $55 street price, there's nothing outstanding about the iBlast that would put it on your Want It list.
Measuring 9 by 4.5 by 3.5 inches, the iBlast is certainly no beast and could be considered portable except for one detail: there's no battery option. That, and the fact that there's no case included, making it difficult to transport. Also, the speaker set doesn't include a remote, and the only controls on it are two touch-sensitive volume keys. All other functions are controlled via the iPod itself. As such, the iBlast is best suited to a desk or perhaps a bedside table--someplace that will be within easy reach.
