Boomtune Tripod iPod Speakers

Wouldn't you agree that this iPod accessory mimics the traditional camera with tripod set-up? Recently announced by Focal Corp Japan, this three-legged Boomtune Mini speaker system, which by the way is named "Julia," connects to the iPod via a 3.5mm stereo plug. Straight from New Launches, two of the tripod legs come with speakers while the third operates as the battery compartment. Unfortunately there isn't a docking station, which I've certainly grown accustomed to and quite frankly can't live without! Currently available from Japan for 4480 Yen or $39.

    woah, that's a pretty awesome idea! i'd be curious to hear how they sound.

    i wonder if they will try and make some large scale applications? maybe for dj's or something? just strap some wheels to the bottom and you've got yourself a mobile speaker system!

    It's an iPod tripod! I wouldn't buy it since it's not a docking station though, that's a must.

    So...if you're not using a Nano, your Ipod sits upside down? Incredibly awkward-looking, don't you think? I think I might have to pass on this one, sadly.

    it would be better with a docking station but even more important is how it sounds.

    i have something similar, looks EXACTLY the same pretty sure all three legs are speakers on mine, have had it for over a year, batteries last longer than i thought they would, runs on one AAA, the sound is pretty good. very useful for me, i was always getting my earplugs pulled out and space is a minimum at work for me so they were perfect . . . but i upgraded to a polk audio midock portfolio, that sound is AMAZING and its quite compact and has a power cord. jeez i need to learn how to not write run on sentences, hehehe.
