TriPods anyone?

Just recently introduced: external speakers almost as small as most iPods, they're pocketable. I have yet to hear how these miniature sound sticks perform. I'm sure you can't expect much from them. I mean, don't expect to get people dancing just because you hooked it up to your iPod and played a great dance track. At the very least, they should sound better than a laptop's built-in speakers.

They're from Zelco and will work with any iPod, or MP3 player for that matter, and cost only $40. Powered by a single AAA battery which the manufacturer claims will last up to 10 hours

Now, if only they can make a pocket subwoofer to match...

Dimensions:
Length: 5.5"
Diameter:1.25"
Weight: 2 oz.
Output: 1Wx2

I've been trying to find a good set of ultra-small speakers that are louder than my PowerBook's built-in ones, for the times i have to show a video in a noisy room. These look promising, I like the way they look too. After visiting the site, I also found out that they're the makers of my favorite Itty Bitty Booklight :winkgrin:

Very innovative. Wish we had one as a raffle prize for the party.

I'd like to see someone make a portable stand for the 5G video iPod so you can watch videos on your desk properly.

...looks weird with the ipod upside down though...

i wonder how it'll support the new iPod video, being that the earphone jack of the new iPod is on the right of the top side. If it'll work, then someone should find a way to encode videos rotated 180º.

For the 5th Gen iPod, unbalance weight and might somehow damage the earphone jack. :no:

Coolness!!!

Is this available in the philippines? This'd make good use of my shuffle...

I have seen something similar to this in Digital Walker. I am not sure if it is
made by Tunewear.
