14 DAY TRIAL // Did you ever think about a speaker system that comes with a LCD screen and digital control panel? Well, Logitech designed such a gadget and it has just showcased it.
But the LCD and the built-in touch-sensitive controls are not the main capabilities, as the speaker system also features digital-music track information, a clock, volume treble and bass.
You will navigate music tracks with play, pause, skip forward and back buttons and you will also continue to work or surf the Web, or even turn your monitor off and use the integrated speaker controls.
The Logitech Z-10 speakers also have four Internet radio preset buttons located on the speakers' touch sensitive panel. When touched, the preset buttons let you save and recall your favorite Internet radio stations and playlists.
"Until now, PC speakers have simply delivered sound," said Jef Holove, Logitech's vice president of product marketing for audio. "The Z-10 speakers aim to incite more of the senses - sight, touch and sound - with their media display, touch-sensitive controls and premium audio. And beyond that, these speakers are simply stunning, adding a level of design sophistication to their breakthrough digital music capabilities."
Using USB technology and several software tools, the speakers can display track information from popular media players, including iTunes, Windows Media Player, Winamp, and Musicmatch.
