Last week we checked out the New York International Gift Fair. Today we're looking at Sonoro's line of desktop radios and stereos. This TK-sized stereos feature sonoro's 360-degree Sound Technology that combines both left and right channels and pumps them out of a single three-inch speaker at the top of the box. We heard these in the loud halls of Javits during the fair and it was pretty impressive. There are currently two models with two more expected in May...
