The good: The JBL OnBeat Air features Apple AirPlay wireless streaming in a fairly compact iPhone/iPad audio dock that swivels, holding the device in portrait or landscape position. It offers decent-enough sound for its size and has a pass-through USB connection for computers so you can sync a docked iPod, iPhone, or iPad with iTunes on your computer.
The bad: The iPad can't be rotated to landscape mode when docked, and the speaker sounds a bit thin.
The bottom line: The JBL OnBeat Air is a decent (though not great) compact speaker dock for iOS devices that's currently one of the more affordable AirPlay speakers on the market.
