AirCurve iPhone Speaker £17.99
The AirCurve is a dock, but not as you know it. Sure, it’s got a standard Apple USB/30 pin cable port. And yes, you stick your iPhone neatly into the scoop on top. What’s ultimate about this little beauty is that it amplifies all the output of your iPhone using clever air tubes that increase the volume to a satisfying 10 decibels without using any extra batteries or juice.
Just as the swirls and curves of the human ear guide noise to the brain with a smart configuration of patterns, the AirCurve contains tubular channels that spit out noise with extra oomph, like you’d get with an ancient gramophone horn. This means you won’t be forking out for batteries or sucking ‘leccy out of the sockets when you want to amplify your iPhone. Neat!
Whether you use it as a hands-free speaker, a bedside alarm clock, even a tidy little desktop music station, AirCurve rocks a look that’s never out of place thanks to its gorgeously see-through, weighty acrylic design. Compatible with iPhone and iPhone 3G, it’s more than a match for Apple’s masterpiece of mobile design.
