I'm interested in the new Sharper Image iSplash Rugged Spashproof Stereo Speaker System with AM/FM Digital Tuner. This is the model SI327WHT or SI327POD that is designed like a boombox with a carry handle, NOT the wireless one with a hook for shower use. Any opinions appreciated.
I'm also considering the Sony ZS-H10CP boombox. That one has CD/MP3 capability, but no iPod integration except for an aux input. Others include the Tivoli iPal, Songbook, TEAC R2 Premium, GPX iLive IBCD3816DT and any other relatively small boombox/portable speakers. At minimum, they need to have battery and AC power, an AM/FM tuner and some way to play music from an iPod. Integration and charging for the iPod are a bonus, as are radio presets and a splash/sandproof design. A CD player isn't necessary, but is acceptable. Any boom boxes near 2 feet long or 10 pounds are probably too big. I'm looking to spend less than $150 if possible, so the Tivoli iSongbook is not really a consideration.
I've read a number about the iPal that came up on a search already, but no one seems to have anything on the Sharper Image, Sony or TEAC models.
Thanks,
Darren
