Digital Trends – An Australian design team decided to embark on the journey of creating Tembo Trunks while they were traveling in Africa with no way to amplify the music from their iPods without a modern speaker dock. After creating a series of makeshift amplifiers themselves, they went in search of a durable, portable way to play music without the fuss and electronics of a fancy speaker dock. If youâre in any situation where a heavy, fragile, electronic speaker dock for your iPod is more trouble than its worth, Tembo Trunks ($39) might be worth checking out.
