Think Outside, best known for its Stowaway Portable Mice and Keyboards for handheld devices, has announced the availability of the Boomtube H2O1.

Pitched as the perfect accessory for music lovers, the Boomtube H2O1 may be the perfect accessory for iPod and music phone users who are looking for a portable speaker set that sounds great.

Until now, we generally had to choose between great sound or portability - there just wasn't anything in the middle that combined great sound with portability.

The Boomtube H2O1 has over 40-Watts of power which is unheard of in portable speakers. Plus, it’s got an integrated sub-woofer, detachable speakers for true stereo separation and an internal rechargeable Lithium battery that lasts around 5 hours. There really isn’t anything quite like it on the market.

The Boomtube H2O1 is based on a stylish aluminium tubular design and is the first
portable speaker system to incorporate both a bass tube and twist-off speakers for true
stereo separation. The Boomtube H2O1 features 2-inch aluminium speakers that reproduce sound at the mid- and high ranges.

In addition, Boomtube H2O1 combines two bass drivers with MaxBass technology for lower frequency bass reproduction. With a Lithium rechargeable battery and a carrying case for portability, the whole system weighs just over three pounds. Also included is a 3.5 to 2.5mm adapter that allows the product to work with music phones.

Wow.. That's pretty innovative!

Well, it's designed for the iPod what. So USB power is not necessary.
