If it still cost $400.00 and was a laptop... Wouldn't that be great? (Grin)
I have a cellphone right now that is about half the size of a remote, about a quarter the size of my BP and thinner than the BP. It has a speakerphone in it. The audio quality isn't high fidelity by any means, but it's quite listenable in a pinch. I personally don't care if the BP has a speaker or not, as long as its current compactness is not compromised. But those who dismiss the notion immediately as something that will automatically increase the size of teh unit are not necessarily correct. But as I've found out, some people just see the word "change" and immediately hit the panic button: Bruce wants to change the BP into a laptop is what I heard, which is ridiculous.

One question to consider on if the bookport should have a speaker is, how much quality of sound could it really produce. One of the bookport's strengths is it's small size, would the unit have to be larger to fit in a speaker that could provide any level of useful sound. I don't know, but think some of us may be surprised with the answers.

Hello,
Radio shack is certainly an option, I have travel speakers which I have in a case with the unit. Otto

If they include a speaker in Bookport, it will have to be bigger. One reasonable solution I've heard is to go to an electronics store like Radioshack and find a portable speaker that includes a compartment in which the bookport can be stored. That allows you to listen to it without using ear buds or a head set. I have a bookport on the way. And that's one of the first things I'm going to get. Of course, I'll also get a 2-gig flash card.
