Oregon Scientific iBall

As iPod use continues to grow, consumers are looking for accessories that can take their iPod to the next level. Oregon Scientific's new iBall wireless remote speaker is built specifically for iPods. It wirelessly transmits audio up to 100' away from the transmitter base, and the base will charge iPods and synch to your computer with a 30-pin connector. You can also control your play list remotely from the iBall's built-in remote control; track forward, track back, volume up and down, even bass and treble settings.

Its sleek design can go with you room to room, even outside, for those spring BBQs on the deck. You can even turn it into art by mounting it on the wall with the included hardware. iBall is roughly the size of a bowling ball and is compatible with all generations of iPods. $249; www.oregonscientific.com
