There are many good portable speakers on the market which are compatible. Such as the Emmeline range , or look for Portable Amplifier for iPad, iPad 2, the new iPad on Google. I have come across one but it so cheap , i cannot believe it can be that good , price is $2.99
Minirig, 20 watts and 50 hour battery life. Awesome for guitar.
the Minirig sounds impressive, so tiny. Their website says 15 watts, not 20. still the most power for anything so small.
Anyone selling them in the US?
That would be awesome! Can a device become class compliant via software, though? I thought it was a hardware issue.
I believe it's theoretically possible, as it should be a firmware issue not a hardware issue. Whether a company like Yamaha would invest the time and money on a product that is already a few years old is another question...
(note before you click that amazon link that BT10 is the maker of the speaker)
@BT10, on the off chance you're not a bot, welcome to the forum. Self promotion is ok around here but be clear about where it's coming from please.
@thatsRayor, this weekend I came across news of a device with a firmware upgrade that rendered it class compliant and, so, usable with iOS devices but I can't remember which one. I immediately thought of the THR-10. I certainly hope Yamaha plays nice and passes along a class compliant firmware upgrade. It would make my portable setup so vastly more impressive and useful. I love the THR-10.
The Yamaha THR-10 is supposed to be ridiculously good. I rushed into a portable amp purchase before I knew about the THR-10 and ended up with the Blackstar Core ID 10:

Actually, I don't regret the purchase because the Blackstar is 1/3 the price ($99.99) and is a heck of a lot of versatility in one little package. But the Yamaha lunchbox is so small, and SO highly regarded, I just might own one someday.
For use with headphones, my iPad/iPhone guitar modeling apps are about as good a sound as I can get anywhere. But there are times you want the aural experience of an actual speaker or, provided the speaker is big enough, to feel the actual punch of those low and mid-range frequencies in your chest. They really are two different experiences.
I have yet to find a quality solution for doing a "line out" from the iPad into an external speaker. I have to think that the iPad's 1/4" headphone jack really isn't fully suited to be used as a line out into a speaker, though it does work. I just hear a lot of hissing and excess noise when I do that, and it's a bit disappointing.
My studio monitor is an M-Audio BX5:

But there are even better ones from KRK, Yamaha, etc. Still, for me, the iPad is primarily remaining a tool for playing with headphones and recording, and it excels at both (IMO). If I want to play quickly through a small speaker, use something like the Blackstar or a lunchbox amp. My favorite quick practice solution is still the Vox Amplug series. Limited sounds per device, but man do they sound convincing. You can even used the headphone jack as a line-out into a computer speaker, monitor, etc., and the results are better than you'd think.

For monitors going from an audio interface will always be superior to the built-in headphone jack.
I just remembered: The firmware upgrade was for the Steinberg audio interfaces, the UR line. The upgrade was released in August but I just read about it in the Auria forum. Nice looking interfaces, too.
It's wired, but for the price, it's pretty tough to beat. It also includes a 1/4" i/p for an instument. It also includes USB audio, but I don't think it will work on an iOS device (I never tried it.)

Tough to beat price, for sure!
