The Phonofone III offers acoustic amplification for your iPhone. It comes from Science and Sons, who are offering the first batch for about $200. All you do is put your iPhone in the dock and the ceramic horn will amplify the audio from your iPhone’s speaker to four times the original level.

The first batch is limited to just fifty units only so if you like retro looking speakers and you want one, you had better hurry.

I know what you’re thinking. You’ve never seen such a fine specimen of speaker technology merged with Wiffle ball design. I couldn’t agree more. Kenwood’s Squeezophone 360° speaker is similar to the insanely expensive Sony Soutina speakers, pumping music in all directions with acoustic technology.

We don’t know much else because it’s still in the development stages. We feel pretty confident it won’t be cheap. Making things look like Wiffle balls is an expensive business. I applaud their creative genius and their willingness to venture into such uncharted territory.
