Rovio sounds out new deal with Gear4 for Angry Birds speakers
Plush toys and t-shirts already on the shop shelves, Rovio has decided to take its 200 million selling series into entirely new territory.

The developer has announced it is to roll out a fresh line of Angry Birds branded produce, this time in the form of speakers.

The new range, produced by accessory specialist Gear4, has been officially licensed by the Finnish firm, and suggest the company believes the franchise is suitable for almost any form of merchandise thinkable.

Aside from their obvious physical appeal, however, the speakers do come with practical benefits.

Each one of the three on offer – Red bird, black bird and helmet pig on board - is designed to fit iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, with both 3.5mm jack sockets and iOS docking stations on offer.

Specific retailers set to carry the range haven't been confirmed, but the line will officially launch this September, with prices ranging between £50 and £70.
