FOSDEM report?

[God Ginrai]

If you put the speakers on the side and use both hands to hold the device, your hands form a kind of shell that points the sound towards you. I think it would work quite well.

If anything, my hands would direct the sound away from me when my hands are holding the device.

 How is that possible? When I hold my Pandora, with my index fingers on the shoulder buttons and my thumbs on the dpad and action buttons, the most comfortable position is  to hold the device with my other fingers at the bottom and leave a gap of 5-10 mm at the sides. How do you hold it? With your index fingers on the dpad/buttons and your middle fingers at the shoulder buttons or something?

I hold it as you suggested, except my hands draw closer to the handheld at the bottom, making a trapezoidal shape. (Like this: \ | Pandora | / ) This would point the sound away from me.
