Will this speaker deliver Airplay from an Apple 4-S phone without a cord attached? Will Airplay work with an I-Pad 4 without a cord, &amp; how far away?

Yes, my wife's iPhone 4S works fine with AirPlay wirelessly. iPad is the same. Because AirPlay is based on WiFi, then the distance is dictated by how far your WiFi signal can go. As long as your iPhone is within WiFi distance, and the LG speaker is also within WiFi distance, then you are good to go! Theoretically, you could stand 300 feet away from your WiFi base station in an open field, and put the LG speaker 300 feet away in the opposite direction, for a total of 600 feet away. But realistically, inside a typical house with walls in the way, expect 50-75 feet at most. That's just how WiFi works.

yes, it works with 4S. when you put your phone on the dock it automatically asks you to download the JBL app which is free and then you're all set. I also use it with an apple shuffle. I don't know what the mini I pads are. I haven't figured out the wireless feature yet, but i'm sure if I read the instructions it will be easy.

I just plug mine into an AC outlet with the cord that was packaged with the speaker and the AC plug from my iPad. It works great!

IF iPod has a speaker it will work. No corded needed. Works off of vibrations

firstly, this is an excellent product! as to charging, any usb outlet will work for charging. but no apple charging cable will interface with the speaker. hope this helps.

I also have an iPhone 4. Here is how it worked for me. I just turned on the speaker, then went to settings and bluetooth on my iPhone. Once the device showed up as BT-150, I tapped it and it connected. Of course you have to be within 30 feet or so from the speaker.

Yes, does work with airplay...Speakers have great sound but not as loud as should be for a speaker for this price

You can sync to two speakers if you're using iTunes and AirPlay in OSX. The capability doesn't seem to be there for iOS: it's one AirPlay device at a time. There are applications for OSX that claim to allow you to sync your system audio to multiple AirPlay speakers (might get you around the iTunes limitation). There is something called "Party Streaming" that Sony mentions on the box. They say it requires Sony HomeShare Products and I don't know what that implies.

It will work with the device, but iDevices do not support aptX and the quality will suffer. Only macbook airs and pros support aptX. It will work fine through the iTouch, actually I'd expect it to have a more solid connection considering the lower bitrate without aptX but with aptX the device is very sensitive and loses connection and jutters the sound very easily. I'm going back to airplay for now.also edit: my issues i believe stem from living in a large apartment building with a ton of signal flying around, in a more rural setting it may perform much more solidly.

Bluetooth is different from Airplay and it is inferior in single strength and sound quality among many other things. This has Airplay built in and it works great.

It is not airplay compatible. It uses proprietary software to communicate via wifi.

Only an iPad and nothing else? No. You'll need an amplifier connected to the speakers. Connect to the amp via a cord (just like an iPod) or wirelessly (via something like Sonos-still needs to be wired to the speakers). Or go via a bluetooth enabled amp (again needs to be wired to the speakers). I connect my iPad via Airplay linked to an Apple TV that is plugged into an amp that is connected to these speakers. Good luck!

Hi Sylvia: you can plug in an iPod with a special cord. No cords are included. It is a very nice sounding speaker...no complaints.

Only works with AirPlay which streams off of ITunes. I added the AirPlay App to both my MacBook Pro and my Dell Mini, and switched my extensive music collection from RealPlayer to ITunes. A large job....but well worth it. My JBL Soundfly works flawlessly in my bathroom in the morning, and in my living room in the evening paired with a Bose Wave radio for exquisite sound!

Any product you see claiming to have Airplay would have it built-in, not requiring purchase of an Apple product. If it didn't it's blatant false advertising. This is a great receiver.

Sorry I do not have an I Phone; however, I have had no problem whatsoever in connecting the speaker to my Samsung Phone 4 G Galaxy S III, I Touch, I pad, HTC 3G and Verizon LG.
