I have a pair of Apple speakers attached to my G4 Quicksilver.  They 
work great although one walked right off the top of my bookshelf and 
nearly hit me in the head when I was playing Placebo's Meds album one 
time.  So I put it on one of those rubber jar opener thingies and it 
hasn't moved since.  These are the round, soft-ball sized, lexan 
speakers.  I don't know what kind Apple has now, if any, but these are 
great *for the price*.

We have three other sets of small-type speakers for our iPods:  Altec 
Lansing, Logitech, and Polk. They ranged in price from about $90 to $130 
IIRC.  I'd recommend the Altec and Logitech only for talk, however, with 
the Logitech being the better of the two models I have.  The Polk is the 
best of the three and the smallest.  My husband uses them for travel 
with his iPod (in hotels).  The sound quality is absolutely awesome for 
such small speakers.  He listens primarily to classical.  So you might 
want to have a look at Polk to see if they might have anything in your 
price range.  When I finally decide to replace my large old JBL LX-55s, 
I'm going to look at Polk.  I think I got the little ones at Crutchfield.

Be sure to let us know what you finally get and how the sound quality is.
