iBoom. uBoom. weBoom

		So as you know from previous posts (kaBoom. kaBoom. iBoom.) I sent back the Sirrius satellite radio I bought (it sucked) and bought an iBoom from DLO (i.e. Digital Lifestyle Outfitters). A pretty decent store. They were back ordered, but I did get the iBoom about when they said I would get it.
My first impressions: Wow this thing is not as big as I thought. I guess I was thinking old school boom box like I had when I was in high school. OK - small size, big sound. Sounds better than I expected from such a small box Hmm... I paid how much for this. Then I did a quick search on the Apple Store and saw that a lot of the speaker systems for iPod are even more expensive. So I feel a little less ripped off. The bag... no instructions and lots of parts. It has yet to be on the iBoom, but I think it will be easy to zip on. Volume control is not that great. Its hard to get it to a low volume. It kind of cranks from 0 to 5 real fast, then you've have 5-11... (using imaginary settings, there's no numeric dial on the iBoom's volume switch - how ever I am sure it goes to 11!!!) Charge-N-Play! Cool. In AC mode (i.e. no batteries that is) it charges while it plays. My iPod has never said 'charged' more this week Radio is weak - quite a bit of static. However I didn't realize it even had a radio when I bought it so the radio was an extra feature. My recommendation: Buy It! if you are in the market for portable ampliflication for your iPod. I'll be enjoying mine out on the deck when it warms up!
