Re: iPad Mini for Listening, bluetooth speakers and the Turtleshell, was: Today's iPad event
Hi Rick, Did you get your new speaker dock on target.com? Just curious. I don't yet have anything with a lightning connector. And I will probably end up getting an iPad mini, because the iPod touch fifth-generation is now kind of old in terms of its hardware. But eventually, like when I upgrade my phone next year, I will need a new doc, as my current one has the 30 pin connector.

Anyhow, I highly recommend that you just go to a store like Best Buy or an Apple Store if you have one closeby and just ask the staff to show you some docks. Most stores have several out and on display so if you bring your iPod Touch you can try them right there, see how the iPod fits, how it sounds etc. If this is not an option then just order from the online Apple Store or Amazon, just go with a merchant who offers a good return policy and then be careful when you unpack it so that if you do want to send it back you can put everything back together exactly as it was.

RE: iPad Mini for Listening, bluetooth speakers and the Turtleshell, was: Today's iPad event
Russ, There is plenty of space even with an iPhone in a dock, some docks even have enough space to accommodate a snug fitting case. Anyhow, I highly recommend that you just go to a store like Best Buy or an Apple Store if you have one closeby and just ask the staff to show you some docks. Most stores have several out and on display so if you bring your iPod Touch you can try them right there, see how the iPod fits, how it sounds etc. If this is not an option then just order from the online Apple Store or Amazon, just go with a merchant who offers a good return policy and then be careful when you unpack it so that if you do want to send it back you can put everything back together exactly as it was.

I just keep it plugged in but if I need to go portable with it I have the option. It's bigger than a JamBox but still quite portable and sounds way better than the small JamBox does.

Which bluetooth adapter did your wife get for you and how much? I've been thinking about getting something like this since I have a few 30 pin docks around the house. I've seen some on Amazon but I'm afraid the transport controls on the dock might not work with the adapter plugged in.

It has controls for play/paus, volume up/down, and prev/next and it has the USB charging port. It sounds terrific and will go about 8 hours on a charge if you want to use it as a portable. I just keep it plugged in but if I need to go portable with it I have the option. It's bigger than a JamBox but still quite portable and sounds way better than the small JamBox does.

I would easily get 2 or maybe even 3 days out of my iPhone battery if I used a different device to listen to books when I am at home and of course doing email and browsing would be nicer, too. I could even turn off WiFi on my iPhone most of the time which would save even more battery. However, even if I had an iPad Mini, I would still often use my Outdoor Tech Turtleshell speaker. It has Play/Pause, volume up/down and skip forward/back buttons and a speakerphone so I can answer a call on it. Often if my iPhone battery is low I just plug it in in the bedroom and my 1,100 square foot house (that's the upstairs, basement is the same) has very few spots where I loose reception. I can just be in the living room or the kitchen with my Turtleshell speaker and listen and I can even take it in the shower where I have a rack a bit higher than head height and where it stays mostly dry. The Turtleshell is IPX 6 dust and waterproof so it doesn't matter if it gets damp from steam or even if it gets a few drops of water or a bit of a splash on it. The new Turtleshells which are coming out now use Bluetooth 4.0, here is a brief summary from my sales rep
Re: iPad Mini for Listening, bluetooth speakers and the Turtleshell, was: Today's iPad event
It's the Bluetooth adapter Bose sells for that unit. You pop out the plate like the iPhone jack or an iPod template and put the Bluetooth adapter in it's place. I thought my wife was nuts when she told me the adapter was another hundred bucks. Now I'm delighted she did! Pairing was easy. I just opened my iPhone 5s and opened Bluetooth. Then I pressed the paring button on the adapter and it paired with my phone just like that! --- Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2013! Teenagers; Tired of being harassed by your stupid parents?

I've been thinking about getting something like this since I have a few 30 pin docks around the house. I've seen some on Amazon but I'm afraid the transport controls on the dock might not work with the adapter plugged in.

It comes with a bunch of adaptors you can put in to fit your device but it's still a 32 pin connector. She bought me the Bluetooth adaptor. I'm very glad she did. I pared my iPhone 5s with it yesterday. Now both my iPhone 4 and my 5s both can connect to the sound dock 10. --- Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2013!

In fact if you just go to target.com and search for iPhone 5 speaker dock, you will see a few of them. FYI, another possibility is a Bluetooth speaker that has a USB charging port. This means you can play to the speaker via Bluetooth and charge your phone via the charging USB port. In fact this is what I did to replace my Klipsch iPhone speaker dock which only worked with a 30 pin iDevice. The one I decided on was the SoundFreaq Kick for $99. It has controls for play/paus, volume up/down, and prev/next and it has the USB charging port. It sounds terrific and will go about 8 hours on a charge if you want to use it as a portable.
