This is a little odd, when I first saw this I thought a digital camera was supposed to be up there. But close study would show that the plug is for audio. The Portable Tripod Speaker is supposed to be “clever” until you take a step back and think is my precious MP3 gadget safe on top. Hmmm… valid question indeed.

If you’ve got a steady table to put this on top of, AND if you’ve got careful kids at home, then maybe your MP3 player IS safe. With the specifications below the jump, it does offer decent sound for a US$20 speaker set.

Size: 177×65x65mm, or 6.97×2.56×2.56in
Net Weight: 304g, or 10.72oz
Isolated Rate: >=65dB
Output: 4Wx2
Impedance: 4 Ohm
Speaker Unit: (70mmx30mm)x2
Power Supply: DC3-5V
S/N Ratio: >=90dB

It’s a new take on surround sound. I think it’s perfect for table activities with friends… like say scrabble? Definitely NOT Jengga!
