Bluetooth Music Players (Jawbone - Jambox)
Does anyone have any experience with the JAWBONE Jambox? the smaller one? I am looking for something for my wife to listen to in the bathroom when she gets ready or takes a bath. I want her to be able to use her iPhone with it as well. I have heard the Larger Jambox and was seriously impressed. Just didn't know about the smaller one, every review is pointing to it and one other similarly priced brand.
I would like something that can be powered by battery, small to fit on a little shelf hung on the wall, and can be carried around.

I think Jambox has a rechargable batt-ray. I got 2 for my girls for X-mas. It's their "big" present this year. The little one, BTW. I've heard it in stores. Sounds fine. Jawbone makes good stuff, so I bit.

I've had mine for about a year. I'm guessing it's the small one (I didn't know there were two sizes). I bought it mainly for my reloading bench. I can listen to tunes and if a call comes in on my I phone, it works as a speakerphone too. Sound quality is great for it's size.
It travels well, easy to pack. Good for some music in boring hotel rooms.
I've also got a police scanner app. that I like using the Jambox with.

It's perfect for that use, and a surprising number of others. We like ours a lot.

I have the jambox which is the small one. I picked it up new from craigslist for $125. That is a fair price. Anything more is too much. It sounds great has decent battery life and is a perfect size. The larger one is too big. It is plenty loud for your purpose. I highly recommend it

i've had the small one since august, i use it at work all the time plugged into my laptop in lieu of real speakers.
i also use it at home while working on hobby stuff and when flying r/c stuff in the shop at work.
i've run it at high volume for 2 hours streaming bluetooth audio from my phone and the battery still reports at almost full. overall, it's a pretty fun little device that sounds pretty good. just make sure not to turn it up too too loud, it's amp will blow out the speakers if you don't watch it.
one caveat, if the music has a lot of bass and volume is up, the little speaker will walk around the surface it's on and if there's no lip on the shelf you want to put it on, it may end up on the floor.

I have this one. Don't know if it's the large or small version.
I bought it when they first were available on-line...Nov 2010, I think. Works well, but I'm not sure the battery is Lithium, so I let mine get pretty low before charging to prevent memory.
