ipad Air dock/speaker options

LoveKitten — Sat, 05 Jul 2014 17:36:33 GMT

I am hoping for info on a docking station for an ipad Air with speaker.

When I stepped up to an ipad Air I did forsee this as a challenge

So far I have found one Sony possibility.

I own several Bose blue tooth speakers so I am covered there.

I have been searching online and at BestBuy.

Am I missing the obvious?

Also, anyone else who owned previous generations of ipads and now has an ipad Air notice any difference with reception? My ipad Air is crazy good at home or outside, but inside my work place it has it moments....where my other generations functioned pretty flawlessly on wifi or cellular.

Thank you so much!

You should call Apple, and talk to them about connection problems on your current iPad Air.If you have an Apple store in your area stop in.

Hi nutmeg3 Yes, I am in process with Apple. That is why I asked the question because they indicated that I may be stuck. I spoke to someone else who said even though each generation should be better than the last that the antennae may have been compromised in the making of the air? I truly do not know but my previous iPad performed without difficulty in my work place. The new iPad Air will not connect to wifi guest or cellular in the exact same work space. Thus, it has defeated my purpose in having the iPad. I have requested a new previous generation if this is exclusive to the design of the air. We will see. I have been a huge apple customer and am planning and Mac air purpose for my son soon. I so hope they won't leave me hanging. Thank you for your response. LK

I don't know about the quality of the speakers for this, but I saw in the Costco monthly coupon mailer (valid 7/10-8/3) that they have the iHome dock for $15 off. Will be $64.99 with the discounted price.

If you're not a Costco member, maybe you can find this on Amazon, or other related site.
