I will soon be getting a speaker called the UE Boom! I'm super excited about it! I tested a lot of speakers in an Apple store, (I know, not exactly the best environment to be doing that sort of thing in(, and that one sounded the best to me. Best of all, like it's little brother, the UE Mini Boom, with the help of an app, UE Boom or UE Mini Boom, respectively, with too speakers, you can have stereo sound! This is something I really wanted, and without having to use a non-portable docking station, which, I might add, itn't compatible with other platform.
The UE Boom's retail price is 200 U.S. dollars, while the Ue Mini Boom retails for 100 U.S. dollars. You can often find them for lower prices, though. They come in a Myriad of colors, as well. Personally, I think the sound of the Boom sounds better than the sound of the Mini Boom. I'm not sure if the iOS apps are universal, however. I'll have to check on that.
