It's nothing like a speaker. But it's a device I use to hold my iPod in my car. It has 8 legs, 4 of which you can wrap around your iPod, and the other 4 you can wrap around your car's dashboard, or on your bike, or even on your treadmill. It holds the gadget for you. And because of this, I really don't need a speaker anymore. Very handy. And cheap, too, at 20 dollars.
