An iPhone Speaker for People Who Hate Quality Sound  I love the
rich sound of my old vinyl albums, but I hardly ever spin them.
MP3s suck, but they're so easy that I've given up. At least I
have this awesome speaker to remind me of better times.  We've
seen iPhone speaker horns before, but this is the first to
really embrace bastardized low-fi audio for the abomination it
is. Designer Paul Cocksedge will take your favorite vinyl
record, heat it up until it's soft, and mold it into a $40
iPhone bugle. Dock your phone in the horn and its shape will
naturally amplify the sound playing out of the tiny speaker in
the phone. Physics rules. The idea is just a neat concept now,
but tomorrow Cocksedge will be making vinyl speakers for a
handful of lucky blokes at a space called Concrete as part of
the London Design Festival.  I love that you an still see the
grooves that once reproduced beautiful sound. It's about time
somebody found a use for those milk crates full of dusty records
I've been lugging around for years.
