Panasonic has unveiled their latest iPod docks from their D-Dock series. Dubbed the Panasonic SC-HC4 and HC3, these slim iPod docking stations pack in a digital amplifier delivering 20Watts × 2 channels output, an AM/ FM tuner, CD player and a SD card slot.
The speakers are made from high quality Bamboo fiber to make them lightweight and capable of delivering deep sound. The Panasonic SC-HC4 will be available in silver, pink and black for 40,000 Yen (or $450) and the Panasonic SC-HC3 will be available in silver for 35,000 Yen (or $400).
The Panasonic SC-HC4 model can rip CDs into SD or SDHC cards at speeds up to 8x.

Looks like an interesting option. I wonder what the sound quality is like. I have a Fatman iTube Carbon edition to power my iPod and it sounds amazing and is worth checking out. There are a number of tube amplifiers with iPod docks reviewed here if anyone is interested:
