I just bought this thing from Amazon for $139 U.S. and change.  It is

search in electronics for Jawbone Jambox black diamond bulk packaging.

If you'll go to:

you'll find the demo for download. Just so you know, this page takes 
about a

minute to load up, for some reason. The audio demo is about ten minutes
long, and as we've been discussing on this subject, he doesn't go through
the updating process on the web site, thus our recent discussion of that

Yep okay, we know that smile, perhaps to be fair Robert hasn't ever seen a 
cube or forgotten what a cube looks like but regardless of that Robert's done 
an excellent job with his demo.

 There's one thing I disagree with Robert in his audio review and that is his 
 description of the device being Cubed, its a rectangle prism.

 Sounds interesting.
 
 I'm trying to get an idea of size for myself.  Would this be something you
 could actually carry along with you or not?  Say for example with a netbook?
 
 I wouldn't listen to music on this but for the size for something like
 speech reproduction the sound is very good indeed.

OK, well if you could let us know when you do get to that, if you do, as 
maybe some units, purchased from various sellers around the world, might not 
be selling the unit with the latest upgrades in. If I had the unit, I would

I take your point about bluetooth devices but you certainly do not need a

2011-11-13 Thread Gary King

Dain,
Did your JamBox come with the Live Audio update installed?  The one I 
ordered from AMAZON.COM didn't.  The first thing I tried after starting 
music on my iPod Touch was to hold both volume buttons down to start Live 
Audio Mode, but nothing happened.


I then went to the web site and installed the JawBone Updater.  This program 
opens the update page, and I found that the free NVDA screen reader seemed 
to work a little better than either JFW or Window-Eyes on this page.  After 
updating, Live Audio was impressive for its ability to spread the stereo 
effect from such a small speaker.  Of course, for Live Audio to work 
properly, you must sit directly in front of the speaker at the optimum 
distance.

I'm sure there's information on the JamBox update page that tells how to

Live Audio Mode only works when connected via Bluetooth.  If the update is 
installed, the speech in the JamBox announces Live Audio when you hold both

Thanks for that, I had the link but couldn't get it to work at the time, this 
was 3 weeks ago and it may have been you who sent it to me.

In the meantime? I can only speak from my experience so it will be most 
interesting to hear how another has got on with this.

With my iPhone, the Jambox switches modes depending on what you're doing, when 
playing music it switches to stereo mode, when using the speakerphone it 
switches to voice mode, you can hear the difference quite certainly.

Who told you to hold both volume controls down? I've never heard of 
this before.


I'm not saying your wrong.

Up till now I've controlled my iPod from the unit itself.

ability to spread the stereo effect from such a small speaker.  Of 
course, for Live Audio to work properly, you must sit directly in 
front of the speaker at the optimum distance.

Okay well a couple of points I'd like to comment on.

I know various people around the world who have them and who have 
tested the update software.


Yep, it would appear to be a challenge for a blind person to use it 
would seem, the people I know have sight so they've used it and all 
report that no updates are available at this time.


I take your point about bluetooth devices but you certainly do not 
need a bluetooth device on hand to use one of these things, as I 
said they have a line-in socket thus make a truly marvelous 
portable speaker system, I plug a very nice Denon tuner into mine 
for example.

until I get a bluetooth device yet, which is a bit down the road 
for me.

Thanks a lot.

Re: Jawbone Jambox portable bluetooth speaker

2011-11-13 Thread Dane Trethowan
Okay, here's the situation.

The Live audio update Robert discusses in his podcast is not a critical 
firmware update, that is to say Jambox will function quite nicely with or 
without it.

I was aware of the Live Audio add-on and I will download it perhaps as soon 
as I get my head around the Updater utility, as Robert says its not the easiest 
thing to use when using a Screen Reader smile.

The procedure Robert goes through doesn't switch between stereo and normal 
mode, rather it switches the Live Audio component on or off.

Live Audio is similar to say a 3D Affect on a hi-fi system, on Squeezebox 
Boom etc so its nice and handy sometimes.

 Dain,
 I'm sure there's information on the JamBox update page that tells how to 
 invoke Live Audio Mode, but I first heard about it by listening to Robert 
 Carter's review at
 
 http://robertcarter.posterous.com/
 
 Live Audio Mode only works when connected via Bluetooth.  If the update is 
 installed, the speech in the JamBox announces Live Audio when you hold both 
 volume controls down for a couple of seconds,, and you will hear the stereo 
 effect expand.

In Robert Carter's review, he makes a point of demonstrating the difference
between normal mode and live or stereo mode.

2011-11-13 Thread Matthew Bullis

If you'll go to:
http://robertcarter.posterous.com/
you'll find the demo for download. Just so you know, this page takes about a 
minute to load up, for some reason. The audio demo is about ten minutes 
long, and as we've been discussing on this subject, he doesn't go through 
the updating process on the web site, thus our recent discussion of that 
aspect of owning this unit.

Sounds interesting.

I'm trying to get an idea of size for myself.  Would this be something you
could actually carry along with you or not?  Say for example with a netbook?

I wouldn't listen to music on this but for the size for something like
speech reproduction the sound is very good indeed.
