XPod Active Sound Speakers

Dismal portable speakers just got a bit sexier.

XPod is genuinely pocket-tiny and even has two piezo buzzers for stereo awful sound. An integrated 770mW amp is powered by a battery, itself juiced-up via USB, though there's no obvious indication of how long you'll get on a charge. That's an immaterial complaint, however, as a more immediate problem presents itself: they are available only in Korea.

Surely SkyMall or Hammacher Schlemmer can do something about that.

I'm mostly impressed that they're coin-operated.

If I really want to share a song in meatspace my cell dose quite fine (and I might even send over bluetooth! Omg real life limewire!)
