Intro
Day-tripper John Hill takes an iMainGo on a journey of discovery. Join him as he goes earphones off and hands on with this much-hyped combined portable case and sound system for iPods.
You know what it's like. You're out with a few friends enjoying a picnic at some remote beauty spot in Tuscany. You've had a little vino and are getting well chilled out. Then someone says they feel like dancing.
Trouble is, while everyone's got their iPods, there's not a single shared track between the lot of you.
So what do you do?
Well, what you definitely don't do is get out your didgeridoo and play a medley from Abba, The Early Years. Repeated blows to the back of the head with a picnic hamper will ruin your afternoon.
Much safer to use a portable active speaker system. But how effective are these gadgets?
As as we promised, we've now got in for review one such product, the £59 iMainGo from Portable Sound Laboratories, having been challenged to see how it performs after casting doubts over the big claims being made for it.
