It's 20 pounds. Pick it up, carry it outdoors and plug into an outdoor outlet. But if by "portable" you mean battery operated walk around, no.

Hi! I have one. It's not a sound machine, it's a speaker. You can get a nature sounds/white noise app on your iphone and play it through that! I love mine

In the spring (hopefully by the end of March) Bose is coming out with a SoundTouch compatible amp called the SA-4. This amp will create another Soundtouch zone and power your favorite speakers including outdoor 251's, Acoustimas 5(cubes) or 301s. http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/wifi_music_systems/soundtouch_stereo/soundtouch_sa4/index.jspSource: I work for Bose

I use it outside--it works for me. But it is not at all like a loudspeaker. It wouldn't work very well though for a party. Yes, you can keep the speaker plugged in if you want to.

Yes, I have taken mine to the pool and the beach. I just set it on my cooler at the beach out of the sun. The sound is very clear and loud enough to hear. As with any electronic device just use common sense, and the Sharkk Bluetooth 4.0 BoomBox will server you well. I hope this answered you question.

Really don't think that is practical unless you can hook you iPod to your stereo and drive them from that. Better for that would be these speakers...which you can connect thru blue tooth from you iPod, iPhone, tablet etc. ION Planter Speaker Wireless Outdoor Speaker with Weather-Resistant Design and Integrated Drainage - Speakers - Retail Packaging - Clay

According to manufacturers info that came with mine, yes you can. It has a standared jack so I assume a outdoor speaker would work just fine.

its sounds pretty good outside too. put it on the floor to increase bass-response and raise treble a bit (more treble on ipod EQ) to counteract the somewhat directional treble response. i had it turned up to the max, although at these levels it starts to distort slightly and the sound becomes a bit compressed, but you can still hear it from some hundred meters away and you won't notice distortion if you don't stand very close to it. i even had it cranked up on a beach and everyone was turning around where the sound was coming from, as they couldn't see it as small as it is. i also have an altec lansing imt800 which has more bass and an overall fuller sound, but near maximum level both sound similar (the altec reduces bass at higher volume) and the sounddock is even slightly louder. as the sounddock portable is really small i think it is the perfect party-machine even for outside. at normal listening levels you can expect about 10-12 hours of playing time from one charge. at maximum volume it will play for 2-4 hours.

Absolutely can. That is what I have - the original Bose Sound Dock - Cable Jive fits onto the port instead of putting your IPod on there. You connect to your IPhone via bluetooth (at least that's how I connect to my IPad and/or Android phone. Very easy - sound is AWESOME. Cable Jive turned my old Bose Sound Dock into a way more versatile device for a very low cost! HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

Unless it is an old unit someone is selling, both the bluetooth module and remote will be in the box. An iPod can also be placed directly into the same slot on the front of the SoundDock 10 unit. I also purchased a Lightning-to-30 pin adaptor separately with an attached 0.5m cable to fit in that same slot when using a iPhone 5 since it apparently won't work otherwise. It was about $15 from one of the Amazon vendors. I haven't used the adaptor since I don't have an iPhone but it's nice to have if a friend wants to play their music on your Bose.

This dock should work for that. It will play through an aux input, and even includes a cable for it.

You would find it better to connect speakers directly to your player. For an outdoor setting you will need some strong sound amplification.

Haven't tried it on a Bose 30 pin sounddock. I may be able to try it on saturday but for now on a Sony ICF-C1iP it doesn't, as the Old Ipod touch model worked perfect.

I agree with the response about connections. This product did not fit my SoundDock. I solved the problem by purchasing the correct power supply directly from Bose.

It should work well outside with a movie if it's not a quite movie or your not in a loud area, and it's fairly close to you. I actually used mine outside this past weekend (it was music from and iphone), it sounded great. I even used it near a airport and it still sounded pretty good. I've also found the louder the device it's connected to the louder it will be.If you have the option try dual speakers set might be even better (I have yet to try this though but it couldn't hurt)

It has to be hooked up to another system, speaker, or headphones. It has no onboard speaker(s) (since it is a deck and decks do not, by definition, have their own speakers).

Yes, though I wouldn't say the Bose speakers are portable. I have several laptops which I use on my desk in my home office. The Bose speakers are nice companions to my work and my appetite for music, games, ... etc.
