You’re the type who likes things portable and compact (which also refers to what you spend for them). That’s why you have an iPod touch and a BurgerBass mini speaker. The entertainment system that’s spot on for you.

As I write this, I have the iPod/BurgerBass combo on cool Norah Jones tracks. The “hamburger” speaker delivers a surprisingly crisp, rich sound that’s comparable to some bigger systems. I’m not a sound engineer, but I guess the remarkable bass resonance is care of BurgerBass’ accordion-like design. It’s just one tiny apparatus, and yet the output is that of a high-fidelity loudspeaker’s.

What’s more, it weighs almost nothing, and packs neatly like a really tiny… uh… burger patty. The speaker comes embedded with lithium-ion batteries, which you can recharge by plugging it into your computer’s USB port (retractable cable included). At Php950, this minute burger is a bargain!

The iPod touch 16gb retails for about Php16,750 now. It’s the dream Christmas gift — for a loved one, or a valued employee as reward for a good year behind.

Happy Holidays, everyone!
