Saitek is undeniably one of the coolest makers of audio systems. How can you not love the A-250 Wireless Speaker System that looks like bug eyes, or the cheese wonton-shaped A-200 portable speaker system?

The company is continuing its unique audio line with the MYSPKR (A-100). The MYSPKR is extremely portable--it fits in the palm of your hand, about the size of a remote control--and features two speakers. To use it, connect the included cable into the line-in jack of your MP3 player, laptop, cell phone, or other media player. It will automatically power once the cable is connected to the source. It doesn't have speaker volume controls, but for something so simple to use, I didn't mind. You'll also find a flip-out stand on the back, which lets you set the MYSPKR securely on a table or desk.

With the help of both Commerce Producer Arielle Rochette and Product Database Manager Gina Suk and their iPods, we were surprised that such a small speaker system could produce good sound. We had the volume set on the iPod to the middle, and wherever you're standing or sitting around the speaker, we were able to hear Jamiroquai's "Canned Heat" quite clearly. If you play it louder, then you'll start to hear some static.

It's powered by 4 AAA batteries, and Saitek claims it lasts up to 20 hours of play. You can also use a DC adapter (not included). The MYSPKR is scratch-, drop-, and dust-resistant, and comes with a protective carry pouch, as you can see here.

Currently, the company is working on final packaging with the launch date TBD. It will most likely sell around $49.95.
