THE GOOD
Relatively compact and portable iPod speaker with a detachable replaceable lithium-ion rechargeable battery that powers the speaker and iPod; includes auxiliary input and remote control; 30-day risk-free trial.

THE BAD
Expensive; no bass/treble controls; no clock or AM/FM radio; only three hours of battery life at full volume.

THE BOTTOM LINE
The Bose SoundDock Portable is a really good iPod speaker, but it should cost less than $400.
