Altec Lansing’s InMotion Classic iPod/iPhone dock |
Look, a new ipod/iPhone dock in honor of Apple’s big event today. Altec Lansing has updated its InMotion line of iPod / iPhone docks with the Classic. It ups the sexy with sleeker lines and adds a handle, while going for the same $149.
It also features an auxiliary input, FM tuner and rechargeable battery, along with a remote and a “cubby hole” for storage. The price is a tad steep, but maybe the sound will make up for it.


There are more iPod docks on the market than you can shake a stick at. Not sure why you would do such a thing, but it’s true. But Elonex has something new in iPod docks. Something actually innovative. The iGAME dock may not be sexy, but it can handle music, videos, podcasts and video podcasts in the usual way. But what sets it apart is that it’s primarily a game console, designed to use Apple’s newest players. And yes, it owes much to the Wii.
The first thing you may notice about the SRS-GD50iP is the oversized subwoofer. Which makes the whole setup look a bit odd. Despite that, Sony is all about convergence here, with the speakers able to serve as a 2.1 PC set via USB. They can also use the same connection to sync up and charge your Apple device if you like.
We’re used to seeing alarm clocks, digital photo frames, and iPod/iPhone docks that are boring and simple. But lately manufacturers have been delivering some more elegant products. Like the upcoming ICF-CL75iP, which features a crisp 7 inch color WVGA (800 x 480) LCD, 1GB of built-in storage, and a retractable iPod/iPhone dock.
Altec Lansing has released the MIX IMT800 for the iPod and iPhone. It’s designed to resemble a retro boombox and features a built-in Universal Dock, horn-loaded silk dome tweeters, two mid range drivers, a 5.25” side-firing subwoofer, 5.25” tuned passive radiator and integrated digital FM radio.
Looking for a reusable bag so that you can be environmentally helpful? These wooden iPod speaker bags from Japanese artist Yoshihiko Satoh are perfect. They function as actual bags and play music from your iPod while they carry your goods to and fro.
Sirius XM’s SkyDock isn’t super sexy. It isn’t elegant. It is what it is, a standalone satellite radio receiver with an iPod connector that will let you listen to space radio on your iPhone or iPod Touch. And that’s fine with us because it’s the only way to do so.
One of the things that I never liked about my iPod and the iPhone was that you always had to carry that Apple charge and sync cable with you. I would like to be able to take a plain USB cable with me that would allow me to charge several of my gadgets with one cable.
Here’s an interesting rackmountable CD player. Assuming that you are still spinning CDs. It’s Tascam’s CD-200i. This rackmountable CD player will play all of your audio CDs, MP3 CDs and WAV file CDs, but what makes it interesting is that it also features a docking station for your iPod.
Revo has a new radio dock, the IKON, with DAB+ radio and Internet radio. It also functions as an iPhone/iPod dock and features media sharing capability from both Macs and PCs over a local Ethernet or Wi-Fi network. What really sets it apart is the 3.5″ touchscreen display, which offers a much better interface and will show off the usual info like album art and song data.
Sony has a new ALTUS audio product range for the iPod/iPhone. The “premium” ALT-SA31iR multi-room iPod package is comprised of an iPod / iPhone docking station and a pair of wireless speakers, along with an AM / FM tuner and an LCD-equipped S-AIR remote commander.
When I hear the name Logitech, I immediately think of mice and keyboards. That’s not all the company is about though. Logitech also makes all sorts of other gear from remote controls to speakers for computers and headphones.
Today I am going to look at a cool new FM transmitter for the iPhone and other iPods from Belkin called the TuneBase FM with Hands-Free. The device is actually several devices rolled into one so if you need a holder for your phone or iPod, a charger for dockable iPods, a hands free kit, and an FM transmitter this is the device for you. Read on for all the details.
If you have several iPhones or iPods, you’ll want to get your hands on the Parasync docking station, which can sync up to 20 iPhones or iPods at the same time. That’s Apple overkill folks.
