Belt Clip iPod Speaker

222tilhlkh

Forget about carrying a boom box — now you can be one.

From the website:

    Belt Clip Speaker — Take Your Music Anywhere

    Boom box out of earshot?

    Fellow crewmen listening to Pimp Doggy Dogg again?

    Clip this speaker to your belt, slide your MP3 player or radio into the attached holder, connect it to the speaker and adjust the volume.

    You’ll have your own tunes and playlists with you at all times, even on the ladder or roof.

    Trim profile, no earbuds or cords to create a safety hazard.

    Quick, exterior access to iPod® or radio and speaker functions.

    Provides crisp, clear sound from the mesh-covered speaker (powered by 2 AA batteries — not included).

    Tough 600-denier nylon with Velcro® close top flap.

    Measures 4-1⁄2"W x 5-7⁄8"H x 2-1⁄2"D.

....................

Frankly, I'm amazed it's taken nearly five years (since the first iPod emerged in November 2001) for this accessory to appear.

Out of Duluth, Minnnesota, no less.

Can you run with these on? Or is it too big and bulky?

Mah Garwd Dats Uhglie!!!

Not that I care much more than functionality, but DANG! when you are building a product around something as beautiful as an iPod, use a little more design aesthetics...

Me? I'm just waiting for a bluetooth implant with gaudy flashing diodes running across my head so folk can tell that I'm listening to music or maybe a symbol of me flipping everyone the bird if I'm in a conversation, politely telling them to LEAVE ME THE **** ALONE, I'M MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU.

This? Nah...too utilitarian and pedestrian. It brings us down to the level of 'common people' -- you know the 'little guy'. Hell with that! Then again, remove the Duluth logo and throw on a Johnnie Walker Black logo, and I might reconsider...specially if it has a secret iFlask built in.
