Call it shameless marketing, call it insipid design, call it what you will, but MiniSpeakers is jumping onto the World Cup bandwagon by releasing portable speakers aimed at people who support the Three Lions, England. The K1000 speakers boast two watts of sonic power and provide 22 hours of playback on three AAA batteries. When folded like a clamshell, the speakers proudly display St. George s Cross and the word England across its face. While not earth-shattering, the speakers do have a sort of appeal certain to make Wayne Rooney wannabees all across Albion plop down $43.
