November 30th, 2008

tiny-cubes Landport’s cube speakers are so tiny, calling them ultra-portable would be an understatement. Measuring just 26 mm x 26 mm x 26 mm (appx. 1″), these 0.8 watt speakers are smaller than an iPod shuffle. The speakers whisper boom for 4 to 5 hours, after which you can charge them via USB.  They’ll be out by next week in Japan.
