Buyers can choose from one of three different speakers with the capability. The smallest,
SoundTouch Portable, is $399.95 and features a rechargeable battery.
SoundTouch 20 goes for the same price and is made for medium-sized rooms.

Bose is also offering a Wave system and various other speakers/amplifiers with the SoundTouch capability.
