Gromit has a great little set. Very portable!!! I don't recall the brand, but hopefully she'll see this and post!

"I have portable speakers for my iTouch......would the iPhone dock just like the iTouch?"

You're asking me I have no clue - I only just have figured out how to take a photo and make a call

They just need to be small enough that I can throw them in the bag and then use the iPod feature on the iPhone when on the boat

I remember the thread on protable speakers but for some reason I couldn't find the thread but I'll go look again

Thanks guy's - I'll take all suggestions

Hi Pia,

I ordered the speakers that Gromit recommended a while ago, and used them while on STJ earlier this month. They worked great for what we were looking for. They're really small, travel well, and pumped out a surprising amount of sound.

I think I ended up buying them off of Amazon though. They were a bit cheaper there.

Good luck!

We take this one with us to STJ. It is plenty loud, has good bass and even has a remote that works across the pool area.

I should have read the post more carefully...you were asking about speakers for your iphone, not ipod. My bad.

But, the JBL speakers that I showed you does have a jack in the back to input a cord from your iphone.

I've used that one before, Pete. It is a GREAT speaker. I think they make one that is battery operated for complete portability, as well as the wired one that I used. I would certainly cast my vote for that one! Also, I assume that the iPhone will dock as well as the iPod?

Pia- I have one like Pete posted and it does blast pretty loud and also runs on batteries! Would you like me to send it down for a "test?" I could pick it up in just a few weeks. I don't use it daily or anything so I wouldn't miss it.

Let me know!

Pia wrote:Thanks Lovermont, they are the ones I remember from the other thread - again a dumb question (but keep in mind who is asking ) do you just plug them into your iPhone and if so do the cables come with them or do you have to buy them seperate - also do they run on batteries and if so how long do they last.

Pete - does that work with an iPhone and not just an iPod ??

Thanks again - much appreciated.

The speakers come with all the cords. The plug is the type that plugs into the headphone jack on your iPhone. There's also a USB plug to recharge the built-in batteries. (But the batteries never ran out while I used it; I re-charged it periodically with one of the adapters that came with my iPhone.)
No silly questions here... I get really confused about this stuff and usually defer to my husband when it comes to technology.
