As Amy moved in a few month back I inherited her Bose play station.

This radio is a platform for iPad and active speaker. Since we have two home we now own two of those crazy machine.

I need to admit that I never was a big Apple fan.  I do not like Mac, I never owed iPhone. Amy made an effort to make me to like iPads. I do not have as much hate to Apple as I use to have but I still very much discard that stupid iTunes infrastructure and the whole that company who target products explicitly for head banging teenagers. The Bose SoundDock kind of along those lines, no surprise that it works with iPhone.

I truly have a love hate relationship with that thing. It is superbly comfortable.  We can take it for long trip and have a lot of music in our way. It is light and surprisingly dynamic. It has surprisingly low mechanical distortions at higher volume and it does deliver big and very powerful sound. The problem with this thing is that I do not recognize the music that is being played but that Boss radio. It does the right sequence of notes but something is very wrong with that sound. I can’t figure out what it is but it is superbly amusical.
