Logitech Tablet Speaker for iPad
The Logitech Tablet Speaker gives your iPad (or other tablet) stereo sound quality no matter where you go. In addition to portability and convenience, this compact, clip-on, rechargeable speaker offers up to eight hours of battery life giving you enough juice to watch a full-length movie or jam out to several albums.

It securely attaches to your tablet via a rubberized clip and the 3.5 mm audio cable plugs into the headphone jack. It charges over USB too, so you never have to worry about replacing batteries.

Price: $29.99

Several months ago we told you about these cool, eco-friendly foldable speakers from OrigAudio. Now the company has added a new speaker, dubbed "Rock-It," to their lineup.

Once again, OrigAudio thinks outside the box when designing a new product, as Rock-It is a vibration speaker that will turn anything ("yes, anything," the company says) into a speaker. This is how it works. Rock-It takes music and turns it into vibration sequences and then sends them through the Rock-It "pod" which you can stick to any object and turn it instantly into a speaker. Simply press play on your device (iPod, MP3 player, mobile phone, laptop, etc.) and Rock-It will turn the object into a speaker.

The Rock-It portable vibration speaker system is available now for $49.99. Get more information on the OrigAudio website.

Here's something different. A new portable speaker was just announced, OrigAudio, "The Origami of Audio" (as the company says). These unique speakers are collapsible, self-powered and made of recycled material – great for the environmentally conscious. They plug into any headphone jack and fold flat enough to put away in a laptop bag or backpack when not in use.

Even better, they retail for only $16, and a portion of the proceeds benefit the Music National Service. You can even custom design your own speakers! I haven't had the opportunity to test the sound out on these yet, but hey, at just $16, what do you have to lose?

You can get more information on the speakers and see them in action at www.origaudio.com.
