Ultra-portable Altec Lansing speakers impress
We recently took the Altec Lansing In-Motion iM4 speakers for a spin, and despite its small size they sounded great with the two phones we tried them with.

Now that your mobile phone is likely your portable music player, it’s time to pick up a speaker system to get the most out of your tunes.
We test-drove the Altec Lansing In-Motion iM4 speakers ($99.95) — a teeny portable solution at just 10.25 inches wide by 5.3 inches deep and 1-inch high (and weighing just 28 ounces) — and found they provided a clean, full sound out of the four neodymium 25mm micro drivers, and MaxxBass technology for impressive bass without a subwoofer.
The retractable cable makes it a breeze to plug into any standard 3.5mm jack (a 2.5mm adapter is also included). We tried it with a BlackBerry Curve and Apple iPhone.
Other features of this foldable speaker solution include dual inputs to connect two phones or MP3 players at once , optional AA battery power with 18-hour playback and rubberized base to ensure your phone or player won’t slip n’ slide.
