Are there any 3rd party accessories to address the need for a capable speakerphone for the iPhone?
I think Apple's problem on version 1 of hardware is the speaker(s) being so close to the microphone that feedback would occur if louder. As mentioned previously by others, the speaker is a lot softer on a phone call than on playing music.
The only product I just noticed is Cy-Fi, a speaker for bicycling with a transmitter and receiver/speaker. It's not exactly small enough for the pocket, but for those of us with backpacks, briefcases, beltpacks or purse/pocketbooks it could be carried around.
I'm not confident it will work in phone mode though, probably just in iPod music mode. The only device I've seen work in both music and phone mode is the Apple earbuds that ship with the iPhone.
HELP?
