Altec Lansing Orbit MP3 iM237 Portable iPod, Cell Phone & Laptop Speaker [New Orbit Personal Speaker]

Altec Lansing have announced that their original Orbit portable speaker system for iPods (and other DAPs) as well as Cell Phones, laptops and, indeed, just about every gadget with a headphone socket, is to be superseded by a new model, the Altec Lansing Orbit MP3 iM237.

The new Orbit portable speaker, which sports a somewhat rugged appearance, offers a purported battery life of around twenty-four hours using three AAA batteries and whilst its diminutive size and the fact that it hooks up to your gadgetry via a headphone port would certainly indicate that the Orbit MP3 iM237 will offer neither any particular power or jaw dropping sound quality the fact that it’ll set you back a mere $40 inclusive f a protective travel case and a lanyard (allowing you to hang the speaker from your neck, should you be so inclined, is hardly going  to break the bank.
