A bite-size version of Altec's inMotion iM3 speakers, the Altec Lansing inMotion iMmini ($130) gives you on-the-go sound for your iPod Mini. Measuring a mere 7 by 1 by 4.4 inches and weighing about 10 ounces, the foldable iMmini is a compact and slick-looking device that best matches the silver Mini. The speaker set is powered by four AA batteries and boasts two watts per channel, a dock connector, and a secondary line-in jack for older iPods and other music players.
