Suppose that you are in a coffee shop and you need to let a friend hear your latest favorite album. What to do? No one wants to share nasty ear buds and most of us don’t want to carry around normal size headphones. Well, now you have another option; XPod Active Sound speakers are a miniature pair of piezoelectric speakers powered by a 2-channel 770mW amplifier. At only 3.07″ wide x 1.34″ high and 0.33″ thick they are similar in size to the iPod Nano.

Built-in is a rechargeable battery which is chargeable via any USB interface. If you will be listening to music longer than expected, a small slot on the back of the unit allows you to prop it up with some pocket change. They are made especially for ultra Speakers use outside your home. They measure 3.07 x 1.34 x 0.33 inches, a measure very similar to the iPod Nano. They have a power of 770mW, you can recharge your battery through the USB port and you can buy it, at least for now, only in Korea for U.S. $ 17. The XPod is available only in Korea for the equivalent of about $17. If they hit the USA you will find out here.
