Panasonic Develops 1.5mm Thin Speaker!

Panasonic has just chopped off a chunk of their then-thinnest (2.5mm) speaker to make way for a new version that's no more than 1.5mm thin. The new Panasonic Electronic Device (spot-on, isn't it?) or PED is not only 40% smaller than their older design, but it also outputs the same quality of sound.


The main application for such a small speaker is obviously the mobile phone (and hopefully not more of those boom-box style MP3 players), but there's no word on which mobile phone brand we're likely to see this in first. The mass production of the new PED begins in May 2007.
