I've got the Bose Soundlink Mini for my iPhone and I really like it. For such a small speaker the bass is amazingly fulfilling. I have an Azatom Stealth Air speaker in another room and I gave up using the Airplay capability with it because of the inherent lag. Luckily it has Bluetooth as well. As portable speakers neither are hifi but they are good enough to make my iPhone sound good. The Mini however is a fraction of the size and although I'm not overly fond of Bose in general it has just sucha lovely tone with music. I tried using it with my PC as well for non music use in combination with my wireless keyboard but JAWS was unworkable with it. The problem was that the Mini appears to partially power down when there's no sound input resulting in the sound from Eloquence being clipped at the beginning of speech. Pity, I had high hopes of being able to alternate between my iPhone and PC from another room with just the Mini as output.

Overpriced? Well I'm not sure that I agree with that comment either, its a general statement really so I'll try to explain further. With the Soundlink III for example, that product consistently scorse very good reviews and comment yet its not that much more expensive than the Logitech UE Boombox which has a few problems.
