I'm not sure if the Logitech Mini Boombox will do it or not.. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846 $80 + $30 Amazon MP3 credit.

edit: must be sold by Amazon which takes 1-3 weeks to ship now.

Yea that Logitech one would be exactly what you're looking for. Check out this article for why bluetooth is better than airplay. http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105...-speakers-are-ditching-airplay-for-bluetooth/

A $60 computer speaker + $40 BlackBerry Music Gate (bluetooth music receiver)

Checkout creative d100. I use it with my iPhone out by the pool. Works great

Just got mine today. Incredible sound from such a small package. Very loud and excellent bass. Best mini speaker by far. I use Amazon Prime so it came the next day.

Second to this would be Foxl.

I would recommend going with AirPlay rather than Bluetooth. Unless you already leave Bluetooth on all the time on your phone, BT speakers will require you to turn on/off BT to use it or leave it on permanently, which will eat through your battery.

Of course, this is all assuming you leave wifi on all the time already...

I've never had luck with any brand of wireless speakers. I always get some type of interference wether it be from the microwave, cell phone, or something else that gives off waves.
