Teeny Tiny Speakers: Xpod

Suppose that you are in a coffee shop and you need to let a friend hear your latest favorite album. What to do? No one wants to share nasty ear buds and most of us don’t want to carry around normal size headphones. Well, now you have another option; XPod Active Sound speakers are a miniature pair of piezoelectric speakers powered by a 2-channel 770mW amplifier. At only 3.07″ wide x 1.34″ high and 0.33″ thick they are similar in size to the iPod Nano.

Built-in is a rechargeable battery which is chargeable via any USB interface. If you will be listening to music longer than expected, a small slot on the back of the unit allows you to prop it up with some pocket change. The XPod is available only in Korea for the equivalent of about $17. If they hit the USA you will find out here.
