No offense, but you really have to be kidding!! This is just another tacky toy with flashing lights. It has no design appeal, no dignity, and there's no way it could sound good-- plastic encased, tiny speakers playing compressed files and running on batteries... Its only use would be to titillate tech-heads for a month or so, then it will be thrown in the closet like a child's Christmas toy.
Please tell me you're joking!
