Description: The miniMove is a very handy and portable iPod speaker system and FM radio, which lets you take your iPod with you wherever you go.

The system has very simple buttons to control your music – for example, if you hold down the fast forward button while listening to the radio, the miniMove can automatically find the clearest station in your area. It was very easy to connect an iPod, and press the source button to change from the radio to your iPod. The device comes with a clicker remote control that lets you change the radio station or the volume, as well as change the source from the radio to the iPod.

The miniMove includes a power device, or you can insert batteries to make it even more portable.

My only complaint with the miniMove is the brightness of the screen, as it only has one very bright light level. It would be nice to have a lower setting to choose from.
