If you can’t go anywhere without your MP3 Player and your favourite songs then check this out. Powered by USB or batteries, this cool speaker cube from Ixos is ideal for laptops, PCs, iPods, MP3 Players and other portable audio devices. With high quality stereo speaker output and the benefit of being compact and portable, it’s a great way to add instant ambience to any hotel room. And, if you’re at home, you can plug it into the USB port of your PC for non-stop tunes. One simple design had been produced in 3 colours - classic black, cool white or cute ink, so there’s an Ixos Speaker Cub e for everyone. It isn’t a proper iPod dock, but it does connect to the standard 3.5mm headphone output of most MP3 Players and comes with a jack-to-jack lead. it is claimed that 4 AA batteries will power the cube for 8 hours. There are so many different devices on the market for iPods and MP3 Players that it can be a little overwhelming and difficult to know what is actually worth buying, but I like the simplicity of this 7cm cubed gadget and think it will probably be a big hit.
