This is one of the coolest little gadgets I’ve seen in a long time and it doesn’t take any electricity, wiring, or anything to work.

It’s a horn.

That’s right, a horn.  Ancient technology, right?  Channeling and amplifying sound with nothing more than a shaped chamber.  It’s so beautiful an idea they actually made it translucent so that you could see the internal workings for yourself.  Pop your uber-high tech iPhone into this ancient-tech AirCurve acoustic amplifying horn and gain a full 10 decibels from the existing speaker at the bottom of the device, channeled artfully in a curve and out through the trumpet-like opening at the front.

Kudos to Griffin for coming up with something so foolproof that you can’t possibly screw it up without, say, running it over with your car.  And kudos to Griffin for it to actually work and sound good.

It comes with two different soft form-fitting cradles and will accept your existing charge/sync plug through a artful hole in the bottom.

This is one of the grooviest gizmos I’ve seen so far this year.  Here is something that applies the KISS principal perfectly.
