New product, for the unwashed masses?

    I bought one of these for bird hunting this year. Demo'ed several portables at Fry's, this lil' baby with the good size coaxial speakers and the wood front put out some good tonal quality no distortion with 100% cranked up, streaming FLAC from Samsung Android mini tablet.

    Everyone was pretty impressed. Anyone that wanted to stream their own tunes just paired up and let 'er rip...fun lil' box

    I have the Big Jawbone and it's awesome. We've used it for picnics, birthday parties, and bonfires. I'm not in love with the sound quality but it can crank for it's size and that's exactly what I was looking for. It syncs to anybody's phone or computer in an instant through bluetooth so if someone's music library gets boring, we can switch to someone else's. I'm betting the mini Jambox is just as great of a product.
