I've got an iPhone too, and it has been frustrating to find audio accessories that work with it. They all work with the iTouch, but apparently the iPhones have a slightly different audio jack requirement. I was at my computer when I read your post, and I liked the look of those speakers too ... but I kept seeing that that worked with iPods and iTouch, but no mention of the iPhone. So, I called them and just asked point blank. And, that's when I got the bad news. They don't seem to realize that there is a HUGE market ... completely untapped -- for this stuff. And, all they would need to do is fit a different jack onto the speakers. An example of being seriously obtuse if you ask me. No problem, Rufus, my dear doggie.

Those were pretty cool speakers. I guess I will just use it with my iPod Touch... that vision Steve Jobs had with the iPhone being a Phone, an iPod, an internet appliance is turning into a crap dream. Why is it cool stuff is almost always one feature away from useful? @Ricky Well, poop! Those were pretty cool speakers.

The company does not make any speakers that work with iPhones and (sadly) has no plans to do so. I did a little research, just for giggles.
