4.0 out of 5 stars Good sound quality, iPhone 3G compatible, September 3, 2008

By	Christian Oliver "coliv77" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've had previous versions of this product and find this one much improved.
- It does work with my iPhone 3G, including the charging.
- Improved sound quality.
- Battery powered (optional)

The only downgrade with respect to past versions is the remote control:
- Less intuitive buttons. Difficult to operate in the dark
- Dependent on Infrared, instead of the old RF. This means you need direct line of sight to the unit for it to work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great sound, excellent design, August 16, 2008

I've owned older versions of the JBL On Stage line and this one has been the best experience yet. The sound produced from this model is great and gets loud enough without distortion to use in any environment. When you first dock an iPod or iPhone with it and begin playing, it starts out on a low volume setting so you have to turn it up each time you dock it but it keeps you from being blasted out like the older models did. I haven't bothered to use this one running on the 6 AA batteries since I've always been somewhere with AC power for it. I've only used this with the original iPhone. There are some changes Apple made to how the 3G iPhones charge that although they will play music through older devices, they'll display an error message when you first connect them. With the original iPhone this speaker worked perfectly, though.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Longer Compatible, October 3, 2008

By	Christopher C. Stanley - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was a great little speaker system until...

I recently updated my iPhone 1st generation to software version 2.1, and this speaker system is no longer compatible. When I plug it in, it now asks me if I want to go into Airplane Mode, and does not charge the phone.

Recommended, as long as you don't update your iPhone software to the latest version!
