Over the last few months there seems to have been a growing trend of portable bluetooth speakers for iPhone and iPad hitting the market, which could be a reaction to the new Apple iPad and other devices increasing in popularity and creating a demand for more universal compatible speaker solutions.
Bluetooth has been around for a long time now, and there have been bluetooth speakers and solutions for allowing you to play music wirelessly from your handheld device, such as from an iPhone or iPad. What seems to have changed is that there are more of these portable iPhone speakers now becoming available in the lead up to peak Christmas shopping season.
