How can you resist an iPod speaker shaped like a raindrop that you can take into the shower or bath, or keep pool-side or on your beach blanket? I have the one in "Liquid Blue"; it's about the size of a coconut (so not tiny), and it houses my iPod safely inside its waterproof shell so I can take my music or audiobooks into the bath with me. Sound quality is decent enough, considering my expectations aren't that high when it comes to bath-side entertainment. It runs on four AA batteries, and external controls consist of just four simple, tiny buttons for up volume, down volume, stop, and playback.

The Zumreed Rain Drop iPod Bathroom Speaker comes from Audiocubes for $50.
