You're probably wondering: What the hell is this thing? A rug? A chair? A dismembered Tickle-me-Elmo?

Hands On: Jawbone’s Brand New Portable Bluetooth Jambox

Jawbone, the makers of the famed Bluetooth headset of the same name, have just unveiled its newest product: the $199 Jawbone Jambox, a portable Bluetooth speaker and speaker phone.
