Portable speaker systems are one of those items which are terribly subjective, there are very good and there are very bad.
As far as a portable solution goes I like my old and faithful Panasonic RXED50 power blaster connected up to an Ipod, computer, Iphone, Digital radio or whatever and - in my opinion - even though this device is getting onto 10 years old there ain't much around to beat it I'm afraid and that proves 2 things. Yep, things are becoming cheaper and unfortunately quality isn't always getting any better and secondly, "you's gets what you's pay's for", the RXED50 from Panasonic is still Panasonic's flagship ghetto blaster but its not the cheapest selling in Australia still for a RRP of $329.00 but its certainly the best portable sound for its size I've heard. I did a review on this item about 2 years ago for blind cool tech, should be still in the archives but if it ain't then I can send it to anyone who is interested, I wrote a review at one time for the pc-audio list as well and I remember some of the list members did some research as to the availability of this unit in the United States, it had to be imported from Canada but I'm sure that some list members did look at or buy some of these units. As for FM transmitters for an Ipod? My Sister got my old Ipod Nano machine and she bought a FM transmitter which plugs into the dock for $5.00 so they're not expensive.
