'Back to the Future' iPod speaker

by Michelle Meyers

Here's a must-buy should you decide to take a "Back to the Future"-type trip the 1950s and want to bring your iPod along: Speck Products, maker of the iGuy, has announced its new SpeckTone Retro tabletop iPod speaker system. It comes in a high-gloss lacquered wood cabinet that makes you want to put on your saddle shoes and hit a sock hop.

SpeckTone Retro ships June 15, costs $149.95 and comes in green, white or black. It has analog circuitry "for rich, deep tone," a 4-inch subwoofer and 28-watt output. It also comes with two free iPod skins.

iLounge readers weren't able to agree on whether the speaker system is "pretty darn cool looking" or "ugly."

There's a map for that: GPS or smartphone?

Almost every handset comes with mapping software these days, but standalone GPS devices are becoming more affordable than ever.
