A couple of weeks ago, I talked about the inMotion Portable Speaker System after seeing it on an episode of The Lance Chronicles. A miniaturized version of this system has just been released by Altec Lansing called the inMotion iMmini Speaker System. The iMmini Speaker System is optimized to work with Apple iPod mini portable audio players and comes in a neutral white and steel gray color combination that will probably look pretty good with an iPod mini of any color.

The iMmini includes two custom-designed 25mm neodymium micro sound drivers and two 18mm neodymium tweeters. It's said to have very good bass response for an amplifier its size. The system is considered a Class D amplifier, and runs for more than 24 hours on four AA batteries. The entire package folds down to a package 7 inches wide by 1 inch deep by 4.4 inches wide.

The iMmini speaker system will be widely available in "late summer" 2004 at Apple Stores and other resellers. [ product photo courtesy of Altec Lansing ]
