has anyone tried the ihome bicycle speaker?

So FINNALLY I got an Ipod for the godforsaken thing. It's pretty cool, works well and everything, but honestly the volume is not where I would like it to be. It would be fine on a quiet country road but I'm riding around in a very urban area and the traffic kind of drowns it out. It's loud enough I guess, and the handlebar remote is just awesome

The noise pollution thing - well, I live in a city. It's no different then the cars driving by with open windows and their music on. Or the cars always honking their horns. Or the crackheads screaming at the top of their lungs. Or the bars. Or the sirens... In fact it's much nicer then all of those things. If only it were loud enough to drown OUT the noise pollution...

We have a Japanese bicycle speaker the Otomo. http://www.crops-sports.com/en/crops/accessories/#105 (at the bottom of the page).
It's a 2GB waterproof and shockproof MP3 player that you can clip onto your handlebars. Awesome sound! We can hear it very well on the tandem or single bikes except when going 50km plus speed wise. Also you can use it with headphones off the bike or as a beach/BBQ music player. 9 hours run time.
Nice and small and doesn't take up a bottle cage!
