Parrot has unveiled its new “Zikmu†the Parrot by Philippe Starck wireless speakers for iPod and iPhone. One of the 2.5-foot high freestanding columns has an iPod dock that will charge compatible Apple devices, including the original and iPhone 3G, and use it as the source for audio files. This main tower then sends the audio files to its near twin over Bluetooth, which is also used to play tracks from other compatible and paired cellphones or personal media players
In addition, they offer an integrated iPod and iPhone Dock, and can accept streaming audio over Wi-Fi or an A2DP Bluetooth connection. All that comes at an expectedly premium price, however, with the speakers set to run $1,500 when they’re released sometime in the spring.
