Accessories for portable devices like the iPad are worth any good if they don’t hinder the portability of the gadget itself. Oh, and look good doing their part. We’ll say the Zooka fits the bill pretty nice. It can connect to the device by means of a 3.5mm jack or via Bluetooth. The speaker is a slim-line tube with a rechargeable battery with speakers on either end. The speakers are on Kickstarter and very close to their funding goal.

Essentially, these “radios” have vintage aesthetics but modern technology. They are compatible with any device that has a 3.5 mm audio jack.
