I won an iPod Touch at my work's annual Christmas party last night (a month late, though...)

Looking to get a set of speakers for it so I can use it at the office, any suggestions on a good set for cheap?

grab some of these from Sony for $25 at target, they're surprisingly loud and have clear sound. they run off you ipod's battery as well so no need for outlet or batteries. they come in black, blue, green.

Thanks guys,
Cool ideas. I work at an engineering firm, so the cups would be pretty cool to have around the office, honestly. I'm looking more for a speaker system than the boombox, lack of room in my office and plus, like you said, no need for an outlet or batteries.

I found an acoustic amplifier made by Griffin for the iPhone, dude in the office has it, not sure if it works for the touch, going to try tomorrow. It's on the cheap side as well and looks pretty good as well.

I have altec lancing im3c, they worked great til I got a 2g and now it won't charge because the 2g is made up differently. I'd sell it to you if you want.

lol, that's pretty cool. I should try that with those shitty OEM buds.

were you referring to the speakers i posted as the boombox? if so, they're actually small enough to fit in your hand/pocket if you wanted something that small.
