We have covered SpongeBob Squarepants products before on Coolest Gadgets, and I thought my favorite was the rectal thermometer until I saw the SpongeBob Speakers.

These SpongeBob Speakers from Npower is a way to play your music with the one who lives in a pineapple under the sea. The big buggy eyes that you see there are speakers, which can roll along to the music.

And when I say roll along, I don’t mean that the pupils move to the beat of the music. I mean that when you lay them on a flat surface, these globes will move to and fro. I’ve included a YouTube video so you can watch this in action after the jump. As you can see, the SpongeBob Speakers have a Sponge dock on the top in order to hold whatever MP3 player you care to plug into it.

While laptops are great devices to tote around, sometimes we do wish they can be as comfortable to use as an actual desktop. Desktop replacement models aren’t exactly the most portable devices, which is why the Laptop Cool Table from Arbella works great if you want more comfort when working on your laptop, no matter where you are.

The Laptop Cool table was developed to make the laptop more comfortable to use. The table instantly turns your laptop in to a portable desktop by raising your computer with quick adjusting legs to a comfortable level. Lifting the laptop up relieves your sore wrists and back and also keeps the hot battery from burning your legs. Built in USB fans help cool your laptop and prolong its life. Lightweight and compact design allows it to go from the boardroom to the dorm room and anywhere else you roam.

There is no word on pricing though, so you’ll have to contact them to find out.

Press Release

Microsoft’s Zune is not exactly the iPod killer as intended, and the device has been languishing in terms of sales for quite some time already since its release. Well, guess Microsoft isn’t going to kill the device anytime soon but they hope to boost its sales figures by slashing prices on the flash-based models. The 4GB Zune will now retail for $99 after getting a $30 discount, while Zune 8GB players get a $10 cut (what a miser!) and the 16GB player gets a $20 discount to $179. These price cuts will take effect from tomorrow onwards for Americans, while those living in Canada will have to wait until Friday. Will these new prices move you to get a Zune?
