Music Speakers without Electricity
Thursday, September 18th, 2008A new accessory for the iPhone that will be released shortly acts as a speaker for amplifying music… without using any power.
(I admit it. I recently purchased an iPhone. And except for some so-so battery lifespan, I’m very happy with my purchase. It allows me to be connected in a way that I’ve never been before.)
One of the interesting things that happens every time Apple makes your brand new iPod obsolete is that each new generation of iPod or iPhone creates an enormous array of accessories. As unsustainable as this enormous number of accessories might be, this recent item stood out due to its simple, yet highly innovative design.
By using the existing sound from the iPhone’s built-in speakers, the AirCurve amplifies music outwards into the surrounding space, like speaking into a rolled piece of paper. Take a look at the design here:
The device is not yet available for purchase, but it’s a testament to the power of Design Outside-of-the-Box. I can’t wait to try it out (at the store) and see if it sounds any good.
