I have an older Philips "Fidelio". It is rounded on the back with a kickstand and has a 30-pin connector in front the phone/touch stands on. I purchased the pin-to-Lightening adapter, and it worksjust as well.
You can find this on Amazon for $59. It has an internal rechargeable battery, base boost and auxillary port. The Amazon link is below. I highly recommend this for the portability, features and sound, not to mention price. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003SX0NG2/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UT F8&psc=1 Eric -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Rick Alfaro Sent: Saturday, October 26, 2013 11:56 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: iPad Mini for Listening, bluetooth speakers and the Turtleshell, was: Today's iPad event Rus, sorry, I don't get your point.
