The Giz Wiz Video of the Week. It's a smart phone stand. It's a speaker system. It's both!

I’ve reviewed a lot of smart phone holders, and lot of smart phone Bluetooth speakers. But the Boomerang Mini is the first combo Bluetooth Speaker/Smart Phone holder I’ve reviewed. It measures 5.91 x 6.12 x 1.49-inches and has 4 watts of output power. In addition to Bluetooth it has built-in NFC technology for fast pairing. It also has a line-in input for playback from devices that don’t have integrated Bluetooth. The Boomerang Mini folds for storage or carrying. Unpacked it resembles a pair of headphones, but it’s not for wearing over the ears. It seems strange, but in addition to holding your smart phone at various angles and providing excellent sound for its size, the Boomerang Mini can be worn around the neck. After wearing it that way I found I like the idea. You can carry your music with you and listen to it, but still hear the phone, the bell and other sounds in the room because nothing is covering your ears. But wait, there’s more! The Boomerang Mini also features an integrated microphone so it also functions as a speakerphone. On a full charge the folks at Favi Entertainment say you’ll up to ten hours of playback. The Boomerang mini is $59.99. There’s a larger version for tablets, that I haven't heard or seen in person. That's the Boomerang, which retails for $79.99.
