my new hamburger speaker!

[mike c]

i bought an ipod touch 32gb when i was in las vegas ... it's internal speaker is crappier than the one on the iphone. so i was mulling getting either headphones or external speakers. enter the hamburger speaker ... 16 bucks well worth it!

when packed

when in use

much much better than a dell laptop's internal speaker as well.

Very cool, where did you get that from Mike? Could see myself getting something like that for my Touch.

i got it locally, but here's an online link to help you track one down:

it's available in gloss black, gloss white, gloss yellow and this matte metallic red

it was a hard choice between the gloss yellow and matte red

there's also a very much more expensive version just because it's named i something. (not necessary IMO)

edit:
also, there's the old version where only the speaker and cable is included ... and this new one i got where an AC to USB charger is included

Did you do a A/B/C triple blind test?

JK, looks really small and compact. I might have to get one for my Touch, as the internal speaker in it just "bleeps"

Are you talking about the X-Mini version? A salesperson said the X-Mini sounds better, did you get to try out both?

Probably the $50 IHome version.

that's what they say, but i (or people using this) won't be doing any critical listening on a mixed stereo output and something that looks like a hamburger

Probably the $50 IHome version.

yes, it's called x-mini locally.
