Very dangerous, walking around in parachute pants with your homemade SqueezeBoom on your shoulder and trying to hold onto that big sheet of cardboard for break dancing. All joking aside, why would anybody need a portable self contained boom box SB3? You are still chained to the house, office network, or laptop. You cant take it camping or to the beach. I just dont see anybody taking an SB3 boom box to the beach with their $3000 MacBook Pro. Is the boom box going to be AC powered only as I think the Portable SLIMP3 was? If yes, why bother, you might as well have the better powered speakers if AC is available. I just dont get all this about a portable SB3 with built in speakers. I guess Logitech does not either since they dont make one and never have! One, you are chained to a network or laptop because, unlike the iPod, you have no tunes onboard (another reason I do not get all the comparisons to all the iPod accessories). Hello, the iPod is self contained and only needs to be plugged into battery or AC powered speakers when not using headphones. Not true for the SB3. You need AC for the Squeezebox (or a healthy 5 volt battery) as well as a network connection or laptop before you need headphones or speakers. SB3 Boom Box just does not make any sense, at least to me. If you want to be portable, try what I use. I found one of those house cleaning caddies that my speakers fit perfectly into (the kind with the handle in the center with a tray on each side and small boxes on each end of the handle forming a rectangle). Place powered speakers, SB3 with remote and PS into the caddie, then find an AC outlet within the range of your network, play music.
