Hands on with the Specktone Retro



iProng, the unfortunately named iPod site, has a hands on review of the newest product from Speck, the makers iGuy. Is this new product  another whimsical iPod case? Nope, it is a whimsical iPod speaker system. $149 will get you the Specktone Retro (when it ships in June). This 50's inspired speaker system delivers the goods, says iProng, though it does lack some features that you would get with similarly priced speaker systems (i.e. a remote).

It comes in white, black, and lime green.

"It's fifty feet across?"

Maybe it's for use with that "world's largest iPod" spotted last week in Cleveland :-)

A sonic remote! That would very retro. Also, nothing says 50's like lime green plastic.

If it did have a remote, I hope it would be made of metal and make a loud clicking noise when the buttons were pushed -- like the orginal remote controls!
