What is the range of the bluetooth?

I've never tested the max range but I had my phone on a bed side table, and across the room on a dresser was the jambox, so I'd say around 10 feet at least.

Does it come with a charger

Comes with a 110V wall charger.

Anyone used this in a car? I don't expect the best, but don't want to put a new stereo in my car.

You wouldn't even be able to hear it over the road noise. It is rated at 85db at 0.5 meters. The noise rating in my car (a 2002 Mercedes) is 77 db at 75 MPH. If the window is even slightly rolled down that number is going to skyrocket. Also less expensive cars are going to have a higher db rating to begin with. So like I said you won't even hear the Jambox over the road noise. It would also need to somehow be securely mounted or it would become a flying projectile in the event of an accident. Take the $150 the Jambox costs and put it toward the weakest component in your car stereo. If you have OK speakers but a crap head unit then replace the head unit first, $150 can actually get you a decent one. If you have a head unit with decent power but it distorts a lot then start by replacing your speakers, $150 will go a long way towards some decent car speakers. One piece at a time you can put together an amazing system. I spent under $1000 total on my cars entite system and it turns heads from a block away. Don't buy a Jambox for a car you'd only even hear it when you we're parked with the car off. Jambox is for a small room in a house, or when camping, hiking, or in a hotel room; it would be basically worthless in a car going down the freeway.

Skype calls: Would i avoid occasional static and dropped voices if I had the jambox physically connected to the retina macbook pro or via Bluetooth?

Hello Ms. Duluth, Not necessarily, the speaker is just an add on to the connection. It's the connection itself that causes the static, all the speaker would do would be to enhance the connection it's set up to, via Bluetooth. Hope this helps.
