I had a broken first generation iPod lying around and wanted to do something with it other than let it collect dust. Since iPods have become a staple of music, I decided I would turn it into a portable speaker.
As I thought about it more, I realized an iPod would make a perfect speaker. The headphone jack could be the audio input, the hold switch could be the power switch, and the scroll wheel is the perfect size and shape for a speaker.
