Bird-Electron EZ-18B iPod touch speaker stand

f birdelectron ez18b 20080122 203306 Bird Electron EZ 18B iPod touch speaker standI don’t know if this is particularly new, but it caught my eye and, if I actually had an iPod touch, I’d be inclined to buy one.

The Bird-Electron EZ-18B iPod touch speaker stand is made out of heavy duty steel and comes with a silicon pad that protects the iPod touch from scratches while also keeping it from sliding off the stand. It’s a plug-and-play stand with a built in speaker that holds the iPod touch at a 45 degree angle and looks like it means business.

The Bird-Electron EZ-18B iPod touch speaker stand sells for USD$79.99
