>> Hi, I'm [Inaudible] Francis, associate editor for cnet.com. And I'm here with the Logitech [Inaudible]. And no, it's not just a case. Because actually it is a set of portable speakers from Logitech. And of course they are made for iPod. [Inaudible] has these handy flip-out legs which fold neatly for compact storage. You have the built-in iPod dock here, some basic playback controls across the top, and here you have an iPod. It fits quite nicely. They do include several iPod dock adapters for fitting the various iPods, but not the latest iPod. So if you have a Classic or a new Nano, you're going to have to use the adaptor that came with it. It's a nice looking speaker but not the smallest or most compact travel speaker that I've seen. The good part about that is this can actually deliver some bass, as opposed to the really small ones which won't really go far on the low end. A couple of things I'd like to point out. There is this clamshell carrying case that comes with it. And a thing that I thought was really neat and worth showing with at power adaptor actually folds in, and not only that it has this built in kind of appendage for wrapping the cable and storing it while in transport. And once you have that cable all wrapped up it will actually fit quite nicely in here, and you can store it all in the case and take it with you to go. Then of course you have the lovely remote, which they have improved upon by adding this second control pad here, which actually let's you step in and out of the iPod's menu. This is a handy feature that we're just starting to see come about in a lot of the newer remotes for speakers. Which is good, because you don't actually have to go up to the iPod to back out of the menus. You can do that while you're sitting in the comfort of your couch. So great speaker, $150. Quite a deal for a speaker that sounds this good. And we think it's set to do just as well as the MM 50 has. I'm [Inaudible] Francis, and this is the Logitech [Inaudible] -- ^M00:01:43 [ Music ]

Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere (black) Review
The good: The Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere offers an understated, travel-friendly design that's compatible with both iPods and other MP3 players (via auxiliary line-in). The speaker sounds great; has a built-in, rechargeable battery; and comes with a travel case and an innovative wall charger. The included remote lets you navigate the iPod's menus.
The bad: The remote's range isn't very good, and the Pure-Fi Anywhere isn't as compact as many portable speaker options.
The bottom line: It may not be the most compact portable speaker on the block, but the Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere offers useful extras and great sound for an affordable price.
