1. A smartphone holding assembly for holding a smartphone in a variety of orientations, said assembly comprising:
a bowl being positionable on a support surface;
a sphere being rotatably disposed in said bowl having said sphere extending upwardly from said bowl;
a mating unit being coupled to said sphere wherein said mating unit is configured to be ratable to a personal electronic device, said mating unit extending outwardly from said sphere wherein said mating unit is configured to position the personal electronic device at an optimal orientation for viewing the personal electronic device;
a pair of speakers, each of said speakers being positioned within said bowl wherein each of said speakers is configured to emit audible sounds outwardly from said bowl, each of said speakers being in wireless communication with the personal electronic device when the personal electronic device is mated to said mating unit wherein said speakers are configured to emit audible sounds received from the personal electronic device;
a communication unit being integrated into said bowl, said communication unit being in electrical communication with each of said speakers, said communication unit broadcasting a pairing signal wherein said communication unit is configured to be wirelessly paired to the personal electronic device for streaming data from the personal electronic device;
wherein said bowl has a bottom wall and an outer wall extending upwardly from a perimeter edge of said bottom wall, said perimeter edge of said bottom wall being continuously arcuate about a center point of said bottom wall such that said bottom wall has a circular shape;
wherein said outer wall has a distal edge with respect to said bottom wall defining an opening in said bowl, said outer wall having a sloped portion and a vertical portion, said sloped portion extending between said bottom wall and said vertical portion, said vertical portion extending between said distal edge and said sloped portion;
wherein said sloped portion slopes inwardly between said bottom wall and said vertical portion such that said bowl has a lowered center of gravity to, inhibit said bowl from tipping over, said vertical portion extending upwardly between said sloped portion and said distal edge;
wherein a threshold between said sloped portion and said vertical portion is positioned closer to said distal edge than said bottom wall;
wherein said outer wall has a lip extending inwardly from an inside surface of said outer wall, said lip being spaced from said distal edge, an outer surface of said sphere resting on said distal edge of said outer wall of said base and a distal edge of said lip on said outer wall of said base; and
wherein said outer wall has a pair of foraminous sections being positioned on opposite sides of said outer wall from each other, each of said speakers being aligned with a respective one of said foraminous sections.
