We don’t know who came out with the concept, but the idea of a miniature wooden speak does sound cool. And having it so small that it’s almost comparable to a dice (19x26x39mm). Korean company Funshop kr has started selling this I.dear Wood Speaker that is so small that it can be used as an accessory (charm) for your cellphone. It feeds music via standard 3.5mm jack, the internal recharagable (via USB) Li-Polymer battery is good for 5 hours of music at 1.5W, which is comparable to some cheaper portable speakers. While we have no idea how will this match up with our super loud SonyEricsson phones, the 25USD price-tag surely looks attractive. —Sam Chan
