Kensington Computer Products Group, a leading computer and iPod accessory company, today announced that it has expanded its award-winning line of iPod accessories with the immediate availability of two new speakers. The FX 300 Speaker To Go is a lightweight portable speaker designed for all MP3 and iPod music players, including the newly announced iPod nano and video. With a retail price of $29.99, the FX 300 Speaker To Go makes a sound gift for the holidays. The SX 3000R Speakers with FM Radio for iPod combines best in class speaker technology from NXT™ and a stunning industrial design that complements any iPod.

"Kensington continues to offer iPod enthusiasts the accessories that allow them to get the most out of the digital music experience," said Giovanni Sena, Kensington Senior Product Manager for iPod accessories. "Our new speakers offer great sound while taking up less space."

With the growing popularity of MP3 players, the FX 300 Speaker To Go and SX 3000R Speakers with FM Radio for iPod promise to be a hit this holiday season.

With these trends in mind, Kensington is once again at the forefront of the consumer needs with a complete line of iPod® and MP3 accessories.
