I won't even pretend to understand how it works, but the Nimzy Vibro Blaster, from Singapore-based Digital Info Technology, can apparently turn any flat surface into a speaker.

Utilizing a patented electro acoustic technology, Nimzy Vibro Blaster transforms sonic signals into sonic mechanical vibrations to produce sound. Boasting better sound quality, it transmits clear sound or music through any flat object, be it wood, stone, plastic or glass.

Attach it to your laptop, MP3 player or any audio devices, Nimzy Vibro Blaster serves as an alternative to earphones or conventional speakers whereby quality of sound is often dependent on the size of speakers.

I haven't tested it for myself, so I don't know about the sound quality, but I have a feeling most people would buy this more for its novelty value than anything else.
