Now this is oddly funny
You can rig up iPhone speakers with a whole lot of odd stuff should you need them. It's interesting in a weird way and I may try a few of them to see if it's true. Actually I rarely use my phone as a speaker for music or news, but I know many do. Many of these sound amplifiers are probably sitt...
