This set of five speaker balls (house ever so elegantly in the green banana shaped seashell) may look like something out of The Fifth Element but they’re almost ready for your living room. This is a concept of David Boyce’s flow speaker system and it has a decidedly Apple flavor to it.
The white and green simplistic colors and sleek design aren’t anything compared to the performance you’ll get for your pennies when this puppy hits the store shelves. Each of the five speaker balls is portable, can be toted around the house with you, and maintain a high-fidelity connection to your iPod via wireless connection.

Not only that, but they each have their own accelerometers and gesture sensors. What does that mean? You know that shake to shuffle feature your iPod Touch just gained with the 3.1 software update? You can shake your speakers and your Pod will switch to the next tune in your playlist. Also, the volume will adjust depending on the speaker ball’s orientation. Portable tunage and control at the flick of your hand. What more could you want?
David Boyce has truly found a fresh way to revitalize the iPod accessory market and one that actually keys in on the Web 2.0 mentality of the iPod’s creators and its users. Let’s hope we don’t have to wait too long to get our hands on one of these.
