There’s nothing all that new about wireless speakers, but the ultra-portable and super-cute Libratone Zipp is something else entirely. This battery-driven, lightweight system will jam out your tunes even in areas where WiFi access is a distant dream. Yes, you heard that right: Libratone’s PlayDirect technology makes a connection between the speaker and your device, anytime and anywhere. And of course, the sound is fabulous, with digital signal processing and amplification. Compatible with both Apple and PC devices — and anything with iTunes 10.1 or higher. Not convinced yet?
