The iPhone is an amazing device, but forget the internal speakers for music. It can do a decent job when you use the handfree feature of the phone but anything else is, at least for me, not an option. But thanks to 23 year old Eric Groset and his partner, Robin DeFay, we might eventually have an alternative. The two iphone early adopters have developed an ultra portable boombox that goes on the back of the iPhone.
The speakers expand, contract and rotate to work with both portrait and landscape. The product has two high quality speakers that will be protected from RF interference. It should also work with two AAA batteries and an AC adapter.
Summer 2008 is the target date for the initial release, but their goal is to license the LiveSpeakR technology for further development. Anyone interested? The product will be compatible with iPhone and iPod Touch. No pricing information is available at the moment.
