Greetings, One final word about the Logitech MM28 portable speaker for $13.99. I received mine today and I am impressed! The cord is actually 12 inches long to the base of the pin on the plug and it sounds great on both my MP3 player and the wife's Bookport. It is a single speaker with a driver on each end of the 11.25 inch long by 3.375 inch wide case, so it does play stereo very nicely. There is a recessed channel in the back that keeps the cord stowed neatly when not in use. It does come with an AC power adapter that plugs in to the back center and a battery compartment cover for 4 A A cells on the bottom right back as you face it. The cover flips down from the front of the unit to uncover the speaker element and continues to fold under to the back to act as a stable base. I ordered another one for my wife and four more for gifts, so I am satisfied that it is a very good buy for an external Bookport speaker, MP3/multimedia player or any other low power, compact application. Thanks again to Gary King for mentioning this deal.

Today, CompUSA sells it for $64.99. If Buy.com runs out you can get it at Amazon.com for $16.29 I ordered one immediately!

This is one of their deals of the week, so I don't know how long it will last or how many they have in stock. I read through several of the customer reviews, and the main complaint was the 3 inch cord for connection to your favorite player. The battery life is advertised as 45 hours with 4 AA batteries, but you can also use an adapter. I ordered one, figuring that I couldn't go wrong for the price. Gary King mailto:w4wkz@xxxxxxxx
