how long does the charge last?

The manufacturer (Cambridge) rates the Angle 3 at 7 hours compared to 15-20 hours for the Angle 2 and a mere 5 hours for the OontZ Curve. Having owned all three, I can't dispute those figures. I'm unhappy with Cambridge's sudden decision (after a mere 2-3 months) to replace the Angle 2 with the Angle 3. They're sufficiently unlike one another to be concurrently carried rather than obsolesced. The 2 is the larger speaker (actually bigger than the UE Mini Boom) with the extra size accounting for the extra long life of the battery. The 3 is slightly lighter and more compact, bringing it closer--in size and battery life--to the company's exceedingly popular OontZ Curve. The 3 also has a tighter seal for greater resistance to water. But all 3 speakers sound like slightly above-average $30 speakers to the trained ear. If you listen to instrumental music (jazz, classical) and not simply "pop vocals", I'd strongly recommend investing in the higher-quality Oontz Angle speaker (at 3-4 times the cost) unless you can afford the rightly acclaimed Bose Mini Bluetooth (6-7 X the cost). In the $25-30 price range, I prefer the Oontz Curve for its visible, user-friendly controls. Neither the Angle 2 or 3 sounds any better in processing bass frequencies in a richly textured environment (horns, piano, drums and bass--which goes largely unheard in any of these 3 speakers). P.S. I notice that sellers are trying to get $10 for the now discontinued Angle 2 speakers. At that price I can live with 1/3rd the battery life (water-proofing is a non-factor, since I take my rubber ducky with me during bath times).

does it have a skip forward/ skip backward option?

It does, but it is difficult to use or see. Instead, I use a Fintie Bluetooth Wireless Multimedia Remote control which I have on a lanyard so that I can change the volume or skip forward or go backward anywhere I am in the house.

Can the speaker be used while connected to a power/recharging source?

HI, Yes, the OontZ Angle 3 speaker can play while it is being charged. You can keep it plugged into a charging source and play, the speaker will not over charge.

What's the difference between the angle plus and the angle 3? why are the reviews on this angle3 page all for the plus?

In the past, I have found that reviews on Amazon are often bunched together for different, tho similar, models of the same product ... particularly electronics. The manufacturer's web site doesn't even list a Angle 3, so I would guess its a brand new model ... maybe there aren't enough (or any) reviews to show them separate from reviews of the Plus. As for the differences ... good question. Based on info from the description on Amazon, the only difference is what DAVLIN described in his answer to your question, though Amazon states a battery run time of 7 hours, not 10, presumably because of the greater power draw (to allow for greater volume). I would add that, even tho I have not heard the Angle 3 and assuming that its quality equals that of the Plus, they are both nice speakers for their size.
