Japan-based accessory maker Momoyama is offering a range of ceramic mini speakers that come with an iPod cradle and in funny (stylish?) forms. Choose, for example, between a pig, a hippo, an apple or a cute elephant (more versions can be seen here [JP]).

Each fruit-themed speaker of the so-called CERAMICA series costs $45, while the animal-like models cost $52 (Japanese street prices, including the cradle). Momoya plans to start selling the speakers in Japan from the middle of August.
