Jawbone Preps Jambox Smartphone Apps?

The latest Jawbone Insiders survey appears to foreshadow a Jambox smartphone app:

Imagine if there was an app for your smartphone that added features and controls for your Jambox…

Jawbone is floating all sorts of features from the proposed app including audible sports scores, firmware update notifications, reading of text messages, and email & Facebook notifications. Given Apple’s iOS lockdown, some of this functionality doesn’t seem as likely on the iPad or iPhone as it would on Android devices.

Of course, the Jambox is a compact and stylish Bluetooth accessory that already connects to one’s handset (or other devices) as both an audio speaker or speakerphone. Pricing seems a bit steep, retailing for $200, which is why I opted for a $130 refurb. I’ve been relatively pleased with its performance, but don’t always remember to plug it in for charging — and would appreciate any Jambox 2 include a dock of some sort as iHome provides with the iW1. And it’s one reason why I voted for the potential smartphone app to include a battery indicator.
