The Jambox wireless portable speaker from Jawbone allows you to stream audio from any Bluetooth enabled device to its stereo speakers that output up to 85 decibels of sound in a very small package. The speaker gets even better thanks to a free 2.0 software update that adds LiveAudio to the mix – Jawbone-speak for playback of three-dimensional binaural recordings.

Description

The Play:3 wireless home speaker is part of the family of wireless audio products from Sonos and represents the least expensive of their audio enclosures. It features 3 speaker drivers and uses your home network (Wi-Fi or ethernet) to steam audio from a Mac or PC using SonosNet - a secure AES-encrypted, peer-to-peer wireless mesh network.

iHome's latest portable speaker, the iW1 has AirPlay support and a rechargeable battery, as well as support for iHome's new apps.
