I hope you realize woot is selling a 2-pack, but amazon is selling just one.

I don't have two... I have one iPhone, one Android Phone and one Blackberry...

Oh wait... Damn it, I do have an iPod too, but it sits in my car, connected forever to it.

Maybe one for me and one for the girlfriend.

Instead of jumping at the chance to be right; why don't we post about the quality of the speakers.

iHome has a neat little powered speaker that costs less than this and also holds an iPad in either portrait or landscape. I got it as a gift and really like it. It's stable on the iPad vertically also.

You only get one of them but that's all I need at any given time.

Well, I'll tell you this the reviews on Amazon are 4-stars and they're $33.99 each there! So this is a STEAL :-)

But the description gave us all the information anyone would ever need about the quality. :D

And it seems to quite accurate. Its hard to come across good reviews of this sucker. Perhaps some at Amazon...

The iPhone / iPod Touch app seems amazing and makes this all the more better!!! One for home one for the office... really good for my "Power Naps" at the office! :-)

I know that I can hook my Sansa Fuse up to the AUX port, but iPods/iPhones get all of the love recharging while connected. Does anyone know of a device like this that will recharge my little MP3 buddy while it sits on a speaker like this one can?

It sure will. As long as you drill some holes in your Sansa, connect a red and black wire to the power contact terminals, ensure appropriate voltage and connect the other ends to a power supply.

I mean, it will sit on your speaker while it charges, but the speaker won't be the one charging it...lol :-P

I was looking for something more challenging to set up, but I guess this will do. Thanks!

Oh good, my sarcasm button is still working!

Don't know about this particular speaker, but I do know Altec Lansing makes quality stuff! I own a AL setup for my ipod, and its great!

I disagree with kukreja's heavy modding requirement. You can probably manage it with something like this adapter: http://cablejive.com/universal_dock_adapter.html

..but since its discontinued it might be hard to find one.

Well I actually needed one for my wife's iPhone so good enough price for me.

I assume it won't charge my iPad, unless I use a dock extension cable / unit? Any suggestions?

I recently bought one of these, so far my reaction has been "meh". I've owned other items for similar purposes and I am not that impressed with this one. Not that its terrible, but for the price I payed ($60 for one) I expected better. Every time I dock on it, it gives me a pop-up to install their app (which you don't need to use). It isn't terrible sound but I have a small town-home and use it in my small kitchen so it does the job.

Price isn't bad though for two

Ever since I bought the Altec Lansing Expressionist Plus 2.1 Speaker System off woot last year I have been in love with their products. I am definitely down for this! I do wish that this would have buttons, volume knobs, or an output jack.... I think woot needs to makes us a deal on the Altec Lansing Mix, its got side firing subs... boss.

I'm considering these as a gift but don't know much about the iTouch, which is what the potential user has. Could the iTouch be moved from one of these to the other during playback without needing any restarting? Or are new keypresses needed every time the unit docks up?

It does not list this as compatible with 4th generation ipod touch.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Since there's nothing to the top off this you could rig a pretty sweet mount and use a dock extender.

Looked it up on youtube and found this underwhelming video review.

I got one of these from Amazon Vine over a year ago and I still use it. Even if I'm not planning on listening to music, it is just too easy to dock the iphone. It has a really small profile, but the sound is good.

Underwhelming because he didn't like it, or because the review is almost 9 minutes long and he never actually plays audio from the speaker?

This would actually work great for those house roamers that like a constant soundtrack of their life. Just pop out the iPod from one and put it in the speaker in the other room when it comes time for a room switch. I definitely had a couple girlfriends that would've loved a set-up like that.

Baby, I'm like being pregnant...sooner or later I'm going to show.

Surely this is compatible with the 4th gen iPod touch?

Underwhelming because the Arthur can't even speak english.... my god, please tell me he's not earning money through youtube and that manufacturers aren't actually sending him free products!!! I must kill myself if the answers to those questions are true!

I love how woot automatically changes any "bad" word to something different. I typed in m-o-r-o-n and it changed it to Arthur. LOL, I'd be offended if my name was Arthur. lol =)

AC only. Deal killer. Why make tiny speakers that can only stay in the house?
