portable ipod speakers?

The JBL "on stage" is a really portable unit. (if shes anything like my wife, it would fit in her purse) Both of my kids have one, and my wife has the bigger "Time Machine" in our bathroom. Don't let the size fool you, they sound amazingly good for what they are. I've never tried the smaller "micro" line. The mark II and newer have a remote also. Easy to find on ebay. I don't think you can beat them for the money.

There was a write-up for a Sharp unit in Stereophile recently. It got high marks and was very portable. I've used my Logitech Squeezebox Radio for motorcycle trips and it worked out great. It has the added feature of wifi internet radio if you find yourself in a 'hot spot'. The Radio has only one speaker but very good fidelity for the size and it has a remote and battery power (plays for about 6 hours on battery) available.

Update.....going to wait a few more paychecks to recover from Christmas!!! Plus my son's bday is coming. I think I'm leaning towards the JBL though. I'll let ya know.
