I go on a lot of business trips, and along the way I’ve developed quite a collection of gadgets that I take with me. My iPhone is always handy so I don’t always need a dedicated iPod, but there are times when I’d rather hear the music through a pair of speakers rather than my headphones.
Meet Rock-It, a portable speaker system that turns ordinary objects into speakers. How does it work? Honestly, I’ve got no clue, I don’t have enough XP to understand it. But what I can tell you is that the device plugs into the headphone jack on your iPod/MP3 player, and then there’s a corded device with a sticky surface that pulls out on the other side. You pull it out and stick it onto any surface – although they say that boxes and flat surfaces work best – and then play your music. The only other thing it needs are a pair of AAA batteries or a spare USB port.
On paper, this seems like the craziest idea ever. But when you see the video on their site, well, it makes you a believer. Better yet, for only $49.99 it can be yours.
