Bowers & Wilkins cranks out iPod-lovin' Zeppelin speaker

It being August and all, we can't help but notice the keen similarities between B&W's Zeppelin iPod speaker and an old fashioned pigskin, but this two-foot long behemoth most certainly wouldn't do well traversing through the air. Joining the growing array of high-end iPod speaker station manufacturers is Bowers & Wilkins, whose interestingly shaped device screams sexy from end to end. Internally, it boasts a five-inch woofer, glass-fiber cones, tweeters, a 100-watt amplifier, and video out for piping images to your display. Regrettably, we've no idea when exactly this thing will be available for purchase, but considering that it'll set you back $599, we'd probably want a listen anyway before parting ways with that much dough.

Oh god, please tell me you know who B&W are.

B&W are essentially what Bang & Olufsen pretend to be when they play "high end speaker maker".

Damn that's FUGLY! Absolutely no style in tech these days... -_-

Give it a spoiler and paint generic flames on it!

$600?!?! WTF? I bought an entire amazing sounding 7.1 600watt home theatre system for like half that!

Sadly, I'd imagine that most people will buy these players and play their 128bit AAC files on it.

Oh, the humanity!


Heh heh, zeppelin humor...

B&W or Bowers and Wilkins make very high quality and usually most studio reference speakers.

They are waaaayyy better than anything Bang & Oulefson, they are a UK speaker manufacturer.

Looks like a suppository to me.

this actually looks like my anti-convulsant/anti-bipolar: except that my pill is pink and has a slightly vanilla-peachy aftertaste!

Would be cool if it was a center speaker as well so it could go below my plasma!

Looks a little like my grandpa's old shoe buffer.
