I purchased this speaker hoping to pair it up with my HP laptop with Bluetooth. They paired up just fine, but it cannot stream my PC speaker audio to the unit. Maybe I'm missing something... but I've tried a lot of things and it just won't work. I kept the speaker anyway, because it has an AUX-IN jack, which I plugged into my laptop's headphone jack, so it worked out in the end. I'm still upset that it doesn't work with my laptop audio, however, it WILL work with my LG Voyager cell phone, so I can still stream music from my cell phone. Another thing I like about this unit is that it can also be powered using 3 AA batteries. This is a good idea for when the power goes out in an emergency, because you can plug it into a handheld FM radio or an MP3 player and hear the radio to hear if there's emergency information being broadcast. I don't know if the iPod has Bluetooth (I'm a proud Creative ZEN user) but I'll safely assume that if it does, this unit wouldn't have any problems pairing up with a Bluetooth-enabled iPod. But I'm not 100% sure. PROS: - Nice size and color - Works with cell phones - Battery OR AC powered - Great sound - Very portable CONS: - Will not work with PC's - You have to hold down the power button for a few moments before it will power on or off, instead of instantly - No remote control
