If you got one of those 8.9-inch Eee PCs and found that the 12GB of included drive space just wasn't enough, don't despair! GreenHouse Japan has released two new SSD modules which sport 35MB/s reading speeds and 15MB/s writing speeds.

Greenhouse Headphones For the "An Angel and Devil Crashed Into My Ears" Look

Kit Eaton — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 08:45:18 EDT

Okay, these headphones from Greenhouse are pretty similar to the wierdo pig ones from a few months ago... but they're worth it simply because I like the idea of having a mini model Angel and Devil pushed into your ears instead of boring old normal headphones. They've got a 5mW output, 20Hz to 20kHz response and are out in Japan in five different color combos for about $10. [NewLaunches]

Greenhouse's New Headphones, For the "Pig Crashed Through Your Brain" Look

Kit Eaton — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 04:41:00 EDT

This strange product from Greenhouse is worth talking about, if only so I could share that headline with you. In case you're wondering, the pig is in soft silicon... to reproduce the texture of a real pig. After that news, you won't care these weird 'phones have a 20Hz to 20kHz frequency range, multi-sized silicon earbuds and 35-inch cable with a gold-plated plug. The GC-ERC-PIG's are available soon in pink black or white for just $11, but that's in Japan, pigheadphone fans. [AV Watch]

Green House Telephoto Kit Gives 8x Zoom to Cellphones, Superman, Fools

Haroon Malik — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 04:25:00 EDT

Hey, fool! Why would I need a 8x cellphone zoom lens, complete with additional universal handset tripod and holder? That's right, I wouldn't, because B.A's eyesight is better than Superman's. Still, for those without Mr. T's 40:40 vision, Green House is doing a good thing releasing their Telephoto Kit. B.A. don't know nothing about pricing or shipping dates, but he does know that if Superman were ever to come up against him, he'd pity that fool. And if you need the Green House Telephoto Kit, I pity you, fool! Now, I'm gonna go crush Balboa's head in. Balboa, you ain't Rocky, you just cocky and I'm gonna snap you like a Pocky! Arghh!

With an output of 770mW x 2, the GH-SPA214CC costs $44 and will be out in Japan at the end of the month.

Greenhouse FM Transmitter Brings Music Streaming to Your Obese iPod nano

Haroon Malik — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 04:00:00 EST

The fat, fun-loving iPod nano just got music streaming capabilities, all thanks to the Greenhouse FM transmitter. The streaming device looks rather swank, and is available in five complementing colors, including metallic black, silver, red, green and blue. It will allow you to chuck out your tunes to any free radio station, by tuning the transmitter into the free station using the plus and minus buttons either side of the display.

Unfortunately, we don't think the green and blue versions match entirely, but with an LCD screen for FM station display and great styling to accompany your iPod nano, you cannot go far wrong. Pricing and shipping details are not available at present, but we shouldn't imagine you will be waiting too long. [Akihabara News]

Green House iPod nano Crystal Case Protects Your iPod, Makes a Twittering Mockery of Your Music

Haroon Malik — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 05:00:00 EST

Green House is set to launch a compact speaker set / case for the third generation iPod nano. The case will be a plastic crystal enclosure, and the speakers will rotate out from the back. We are suckers for good design, and the PR shot makes it look quite funky.

The speakers will connect via the standard headphone jack, and will require a 2-4 hour charge time, via USB, for 8 hours playback. The output of 770 mW × 2ch is not going to boom, boom shake the room, but hell, you need a case for your iPod nano, you cannot go far wrong with the added useless functionality. Shipping dates and pricing information are not yet available, but if you are set on waiting, why not check out our Macworld coverage in the meantime? [PR Release via Impress]

USB Greenhouse May Save the World

Mark Wilson — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 09:30:27 EDT

Get a leg up for the day Man blocks out the sun to block the harmful potentials of skin cancer (due to the extreme inconveniences of wearing thick SPF 1000 that simply refuses to rub in). Because the USB Greenhouse allows you to grow plants without the reliance on aging nature. Including marigold seeds and artificial soil, an artificial (UV?) light will make your plant grow big and strong (though we refuse to grow anything that doesn't kill or provide us sustenance). PC compatible software tracks watering and growth, so Mac users will need to prepare in other ways for our self-imposed apocalypse. [brando]

Grow Plants with the USB-Powered Mini-Greenhouse

ybaranovsky — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 20:40:53 EDT

We've all dreamed of having a mini-greenhouse that we could plug into our computer, but until today it was just that — dreams. But dream no longer. Geeks.com is selling a USB-powered Mini Greenhouse that includes a computer interface which helps you monitor growth rate and that includes a calendar, wallpaper and bookmark settings to aid you in monitoring the growth of your greenhouse.

The techno-garden includes Marigold seeds, artificial soil, an adjustable growth light and of course, a 4-foot USB cable, like nature intended. Available now for a mere $19.99, the best thing about the miniature greenhouse is that no one will ever use it to grow obscene amounts of marijuana. [Technabob via Gadgetastic]

Greenhouse FM Transmitter for Second Generation iPod nano

www.gizmodo.com — Mon, 26 Mar 2007 05:48:45 EDT

Greenhouse has come out with a titchy FM transmitter for the second-generation iPod nano. The GH-FTC-IPOD2N comes with the longest name ever and weighs just 0.35 ounces (10 grams). Available in five colors, it also comes with its own car charger. It costs $30 in Japan now, but given the iPod craze, it won't be long before it hits the world like a son-of-Godzilla Nano. – Ad Dugdale

Green House GH-KANA-GT MP3 Player, FM Transmitter, Friend

Gizloco — Mon, 24 Jul 2006 09:26:40 EDT

The great Japanese company with the environmentally conscious name is at it again. Green House is just a few weeks away from launching the GH-KANA-GT series of MP3 players, which comes with 512MB of flash memory and support for both MP3 and WMA digital music files. Even better, the player incorporates an FM transmitter—the headphone cable functions as an antenna—so that you can host your own pirate radio station inside the house, car, space station, etc.

Thankfully, the player comes with a rechargeable lithium ion batter that lasts for seven or four hours, depending on whether or not you're using the FM functionality.

Look for the GH-KANA-GT this August in Japan for around $77. – Nicholas Deleon

Green House Folding iPod Speakers

Gizloco — Mon, 19 Jun 2006 14:38:03 EDT

Straight from Japan and into our hearts come the GH-SPA-225W (left) and the GH-SPA-225QW, two foldable speakers that are compatible with the iPod. Due later this month in Japan for "an open price" (does free count as a price?), the two models differ only in relative size and appearance. Both output 2.5 watts of Apple-approved sound and are powered by four dry cell batteries that should last about 24 continuous hours, depending on working conditions and the Google translation.

The speakers appear to be aimed at those who put a premium on mobility, rather than the other iPod speaker solutions that supposedly offer great sound for their (bigger) size. Anyone willing to go to Japan to 'em a try? – Nicholas Deleon
