Converting vinyl figures into speakers is something people like Jason Siu has done for a while, but I really like this home made Munny speaker by Flickr-user Fungus amungus.
There’s no word on what kind of speakers he put in these, but considering the look of ‘em I hardly care. I just want them.
Update: I completely missed the link to the DIY guide on Instructables.com, the speakers in the Munnies are indeed Tang Band 3″ bamboo cone drivers. (Thanks Michael!)

Creative Asia announced the 32GB Zen yesterday and besides the obvious excellent storage capabilities it comes with a nice price tag as well; about $378. Cheap? Yes indeed. After all, you do get a credit card sized PMP with 30 hours of music playback (mp3, aac, wma), video (DivX, XviD, WMV, AVI, MPEG4 etc), photos, a 2.5" TFT display and a expansion SD slot.
There’s no word on when the 32GB model will be available globally, but the North American site does include it in the model dropdown (with an ‘out of stock’ mark), hopefully meaning it’ll be available soon.
Thodio sure isn’t the first company to try the wooden approach to iPod accessories, but despite its boring name there’s something about the iBox that intrigues me.
This solid, handcrafted iPod amp features a wooden, high gloss lacquered cabinet. The basic models are built in either oak, teak or mahogany but other woods can be used on request. The battery is rechargable and lasts for about 15 hours and the whole thing offers 2 x 25 watts output power.
