Posted by Rebecca, aka Thomas EdisonThe other day, Shane and I wanted to listen to some music in the office, but we don't have a stereo. We did have Shane's iPhone, but the music that dribbled out of it without a speaker was barely above a whisper. To see if it would amplify the sound at all, I rolled a loose piece of paper into a cone to create a low-tech megaphone. It wasn't Bose-quality sound, but it was a lot more audible. When Page came in and found us rocking out to our old-fashioned fix, she nearly keeled over laughing. (But secretly thought it was a great idea.)
The one-minute speaker
Here's a trick that works well: drop your iPhone speakers-down into an (empty) glass. It made rooftop cocktails into a lingering, slow-dancing, totally spontaneous evening.

i don't get how that would work, seeing as the external speaker is on the bottom of the phone- did you have dinky speakers plugged into the headphone jack and then amplified from that? :X
