Bose iPod Dock Goes Portable

by Terrence O'Brien on August 31, 2007 at 04:23 PM

New Bose SoundDock PortableWe all know Bose makes some fantastic sounding, and fantastically expensive speakers. Since its introduction in 2004, the company's iPod dock has pretty much become the standard for those who care more about sound and less about their wallets. Now, a portable version has been introduced.

The new $399 SoundDock Portable has a rechargeable lithium ion battery (like the kind laptops have) that allows you to carry it outside and away from an outlet. According to this USA Today hands-on review, the portable's sound is just as good as its wall-dependent companion, and battery life is fairly impressive. It is important to note though, that using the built-in equalizer or turning up the volume will result in seriously reduced battery life. While Bose claims the dock can run for up to 10 hours on a charge at "moderate" volumes, that quickly drops to three hours at full blast. Also nice is the fact that it works with iPhone. Though, who knows if it'll work with the new iPods we suspect will be announced on Tuesday (fingers crossed)?
