 CAUTION--DOES NOT FIT IPOD TOUCH!! October 7, 2008

I'm sure this is a great product. I'm sure it has nice sound, and the rechargeable aspect sure sounded nice when I purchased it. However, the description clearly states that "dock Connector welcomes all iPod models with dock connector." This is untrue--the space provided for the iPod to rest in is too narrow for the iPod touch, and there is no way of adjusting the width, just the depth of the iPod compartment. Very disappointing.
Rechargeable, portable, and sounds good too! August 12, 2008
I shopped for a long time for the "right" iPod speakers. I had previously owned a portable set and I knew that I wanted them to be rechargeable this time, since the old speakers only lasted about four hours on a set of batteries. The battery life is much better than my previous speakers and the charger for the speakers is a usb charger. This is a nice feature because you can also plug your iPod into this charger and charge it directly. So you are basically getting an iPod charger for free.
The new speakers also had to have a remote, which the Journi does. The remote is also really responsive. It does not have to be pointed directly at the speakers to recieve commands. The remote attaches magnetically and the stand folds around the entire unit for travel, including the remote. The stand is also held in place by magnets when folded up, which keeps it from opening by accident. There is an adjustable piece of rubberized plastic behind the iPod that can be made to fit different depths for different iPods and give them support while in the dock. Even though the included legal documentation advises against it, I often travel with my iPod stored in the dock because it fits so snugly and securely. The fit and finish of these speakers when folded for travel is amazing.
These speakers also sound very good for their size and they are capable of getting very loud unlike some other portable speakers I tried. It was hard to find a set of speakers that is compatible with both the older and newer iPods. I own three different iPods (first gen Nano, 40GB iPod photo, and Touch) and they all work well in the Journi dock.
I only have two minor complaints. I own the small Griffin iClear case for my iPod touch and I must remove my Touch from the case or else it won't fit in the dock (snug fit). Due to this fact, I stopped using the Griffin case (too hard to remove). I bought a leather case instead that is easier to take the iPod in/out of. I wonder if they realize that their own products don't work well together. I guess this is a sacrifice for the snug fit. My other complaint is that the stand does not have a more secure attachment at the bottom of the speakers when they are unfolded for playing. I have never had a problem with this failing while stationary, but if you pick the speakers up and move them you will have to reattach the stand every time. Since the rest of the engineering on this product seemed incredible, this flaw miffed me because it seems extremely easy to fix.
Griffin Portable Speaker System for iPod June 25, 2008
I was amazed at how quickly this item arrived! I am very happy with it. It will be perfect for traveling since it folds up into a neat package, remote,iPod and all. The sound is great (so far I've only used it in a small 12' x 12' room)and I would expect it would be great in a larger area, too.It looks great, too. The only problem was that my cable TV remote turned it on! So I have to fold it up if I watch TV. I was very pleased with the seller.
Portable IPOD power and sound April 5, 2008

The Griffin Journi is pretty decent value for money. You will likely need to adjust the equalizer on your IPOD to reduce bass, then you have good sound quality for this very portable unit. Plug into AC or USB for power and once fully charge, you are good for hours of sound. You can operate the unit on AC as well...Indeed there are much better sounding units out there, like the BOSE sound dock, but they lack the portability of this unit and are considerably more expensive. So if you want a decent portable unit, this would be my 1st choice.
