Anybody here used a stick-on-any-surface speaker as a portable backing device? Do they work?

I met with the MightyBoomBall recently. The demo videos aren't impressive but it might be adequate regardless. Is there anything better, about as portable and not much more expensive?

I was thinking of using a Korg Kaossilator to generate the signal.

The coolest surface I can think of to use with it would be my wife's 70cm bright purple Pilates exercise ball, but it takes half an hour to inflate it.

Isn't it down to her to do that? I suspect that something plastic and inflated would tend to muffle whatever sound the devices might produce.

The biggest drawback I can see with that pair of gadgets is that the boom ball appears to run on AAA batteries.

A Pilates ball makes a pretty impressive thud when it's fully inflated - it would work as a cajon.
