Parrot by Philippe Starck have unveiled 'Zikmu', which is a set of 2.5 feet tall wireless speakers. The speakers incorporate an iPod/iPhone dock together with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth; the latter is used both to stream audio from mobile devices such as cellphones using A2DP, and to connect the two speaker columns themselves together. The speaker uses NXT flat panel technology, rather than traditional speaker cones, and as such does not create a centre for the music; it lets the music flow 360 degrees around a room. As well as playing music locally from your PMP, they can also stream it across a Wi-Fi network.

The Parrot by Starck Zikmu 360 degree wireless speakers will be on sale from spring 2009, costing around $1,500.
