Modernized Boom Boxes

The iLive Portable Music System Updates an 80s Classic

If you want to rock the 80s look with a modern edge, this iLive Portable Music System is a great compromise.

In the 80s, hip young people used to walk around with boom boxes blaring music, and now this idea has been updated with this iLive Portable Music System, which comes with a Nano dock.

This iLive Portable Music System also comes in a variety of colors to match your outfits such as pink, purple, blue and black.

Implications - If you have a non-Apple MP3 player, the iLive will still play your music through the aux port, but will not be able to charge your device. The iLive also has AM/FM radio if you are in the mood for a change. The style of the iLive almost looks like a purse that you could hang off of your shoulder. If you can hang it comfortablt, it definitely has great portability power.
