Ive done alot of reading around here and other places and I havent heard any word of it. With that nice flash clock along with the built in alarm this could be very usefull.

This is what I use with my S9 while in the garage/bedroom/etc...

Dang, I cant afford that thing right now lol. All I would need is some kind of stand to hold the S9 in a horizontal position on top of it and put it right on the nightstand.
Oh, problem with this is I want a proper dock so that it powers the S9 overnight so I can use it as an alarm in the morning and keep the screen with the clock lit up. With no way to power the player it would be dead by morning or close to it. Oh well, this isnt my biggest priority though but would be nice.

I am looking at getting a Parrot Boombox (http://www.parrotshopping.com/us/p_parrot_item.aspx?i=146443).

This is the best I have been able to find (keeping in mind that "some" audio quality is lost over the bluetooth connection).

those speakers looks NICE O_O
but that price looks even nicer.
so it's like.. hmm get the S9 and don't get the speakers, or get the speakers and dont get the S9
lol hmm not too tough of a decision ^^
is there any other good portable bluetooth speakers out there? hopefully cheaper?
I made a dock quickly out of Lego. heh.
The dock is made out of 10 parts I think, simple enough to make, it even includes a jack for line out/pairing with some cheap speakers as I have.

What I would like to see is some kind of adapter to let the s9 sit into an ipod dock. Will probably never happen though.
Here are 2 great accessories for the S9. Photos are included in the link below:
1. Altec Lansing InMotion “Soundblade” Bluetooth Speaker System.
2. Eforcity USB Travel Charger Adapter (Wait till you see the price).

I use the Altec Lansing Soundblade at work. It is A2DP Bluetooth compatible. I have other Altec Lansing products, and they have all been stellar performers, so I took the plunge. I am amazed at how simple the setup was. It took me about a minute to read the instructions and another minute to establish a connection... no wires. The speaker has good volume and sounds good at either extreme. There is good bass even at low volume. S9 users have a unique advantage because we can use its built-in equalizer, to shape the frequencies to suit our individual tastes. I programmed one of the equalizer’s user settings specifically for the Soundblade. The buttons on top of the Soundblade allow me to adjust the volume, pause, play, and skip songs without reaching into my pocket for the MP3 player. The Soundblade is thin (1 inch thick) and stands vertically with the aid of a pop-out stand, which takes up very little space on my office desk. The craftsmanship is excellent. The dark gray grille finish is perfect, although I'll admit I don't really care for the black shiny plastic on the sides and back. You guessed it... fingerprints. Bottom line - if the Soundblade were to break or get stolen, I'd buy another without hesitation. It's an awesome product.
The Eforcity USB Travel Charger Adapter cost me 17 cents, plus $2.98 Shipping. I purchased 2 of them and an extra cable so I can charge the S9 from work or home. As soon as you plug it in, you’ll see a moving graphic on the S9’s display (see photo) of an orange battery. When the charge is complete, it displays a “Battery Full” message. A full charge occurs in about 3 hours, and the S9 does not get hot. I can barely detect any warmth at all (just barely). I went to the Amazon.com site again and saw that this item is now selling for .49 cents. Incredible price. There are multiple vendors and some sell this for much more. I purchased it from BargainCell.
Here is one by Phillips that you could add to your considerations. It gets equivalent user ratings to the Parrot DS3120, which is to say the upper side of middle.
Amazon.com: Philips BTM630 Bluetooth Wireless Micro Hi-Fi System with iPod Docking Station: Electronics
It has all the options of the Parrot, which is what made it interesting for me. I was trying to get my posting privileges in place by yesterday when it was on woot.com for $99, but ended up being a day late & a dollar short on that one. If some of you have a lot of woot savvy you may be able to still get that deal out of them. For that price I had to pull the trigger & give it a try. I think it's around $177 on Amazon right now.
