10. Altec Lansing inMotion im500
Editors' rating: 7.7
The good: The Altec Lansing iM500 portable speakers are superthin, attractive, durable and very portable; can be powered by AAA batteries; include line-in port and cable; can be used as an iPod dock with a standard USB cable; excellent sound quality for the size.
The bad: The Altec Lansing iM500 would be better with a remote control; it's a tad pricey; flimsy design when no iPod is docked; dock is designed only for Nano; line-in port is not standard 3.5mm; no white version.
The bottom line: If you're an iPod Nano user who likes to pack light and thin, most certainly check out the nice-looking and sounding Altec Lansing iM500 speaker system.
