Abstract: A speaker comprises a housing that defines an internal cavity and includes a front panel, a first side, a second side, and a third side. The speaker also includes a controller, an actuator, and a sound generating member that are disposed within the internal cavity. The controller is in communication with the actuator, and the actuator is configured for causing the sound generating member to vibrate, and thereby generate sound waves, as instructed by the controller. The front panel is configured to transmit the sound waves. The speaker has a center of mass that is affected by a position of the controller and the actuator, and the controller and the actuator are arranged and positioned so that the center of mass of the speaker is positioned along an axis that extends from, and is perpendicular to, the first side.

Abstract: A charger device for use with a handheld communication device, the charger device comprises a cable, a connector element and a support element affixed to the connector element. The connector element includes a connector for engagement with a port of the handheld communication device. The support element is configured to support the handheld communication device in either one of a portrait orientation and a landscape orientation, when the connector is engaged with the port of the handheld communication device.

Abstract: A speaker comprises a housing that defines an internal cavity within which a sound generating member is disposed. The housing includes a front panel and a rear panel and defines a base. The rear panel includes a kickstand configured to extend from the rear panel in a deployed position and, together with the base, to support the speaker housing in an upright, leaning orientation. The speaker comprises an electrical connector disposed between the kickstand and the rear panel. The electrical connector is configured for coupling an external source of electrical power to the speaker. Front panels of first and second speakers define front surfaces configured to facilitate positioning of the first speaker and the second speaker in a face-to-face mating arrangement. Each of the first speaker and the second speaker comprises magnetic elements disposed for retaining the first speaker and the second speaker in the face-to-face mating arrangement.
