Logitech UE Boom gets "Double-Up" update

Having previously reviewed this speaker in great lengths, even going so far as taking it on a back-packing expedition to Nicaragua last summer, I can personally attest to how good this bad boy actually is. Guess what? The good just got a whole lot better. Starting today, once you sync two UE BOOMs together for the first time, they will remember each other and automatically Double Up the next time both speakers are powered on. You can take advantage of this update by simply downloading the latest iOS or Android UE BOOM app and updating your UE BOOM through a few simple plug and play steps.
