Bluetooth speakers - like headsets - can be pretty inexpensive these days, and so manufacturers need to offer something significantly more interesting if they want to charge a premium.

Travel speakers are lot like Bluetooth headsets: Just a smaller, less-satisfying approximation of the real thing. So leave it to Jawbone to design a pocket-sized Bluetooth boombox that actually kinda rocks.

Pocket-lint would have to admit to being a little suspicious of the Jawbone Jambox when the postie came knocking on the door, device in hand.
