Hi all, thanks for all the answers. I've decided on one of the suggestions - the Altec Lansing Orbit. I'm reasonably satisfied. Its very portable - slightly bigger than what will fit in a normal-sized pocket. It runs on three AAA-batteries. Soundwise, its much better than the iPhone's builtin

Buy a Squeezebox Radio and a battery if you can get your hands on it. The Radio can be used as an active speaker. There's even a cable bundled, so you can connect your iPhone to it. -- Soulkeeper Soulkeeper's Profile:
