Pocket projectors are the latest “big” small thing. They’re everywhere. Now Beambox has teamed up with MiLi on this latest version. The MiLi Evolution Mini Power Projector works with your iPhone or iPod touch, docking it into the unit which then acts as projector and charger in one device.

The LCOS projector has 10 lumens of brightness for VGA projection of an image from 3 up to 70 inches. Expect it to cost you about $255 when it’s released around the end of July. This is one of the more interesting mini projectors that we’ve seen recently.

I have never been one to have a hard time getting up in the morning. My alarm goes off to music and I am up and about my day. My wife on the other hand could sleep through a tornado and never wake up. Her alarm usually wakes me up and then I have to shake her awake to get her to turn it off.

If you are the sort that needs more than a buzzer or music to wake up, the new iLuv iMM153 alarm clock with bed shaker for iPod may be just what you need. The clock supports all dockable iPods and has a 3.5mm auxiliary jack for the devices that can’t be docked.

Yamaha just released its MusicCAST2 network music system that can wirelessly transmit music to 32 different rooms. At long last, we have something for all of that silence in our mansions. The MusicCAST2 supports various file formats including iTunes AAC, MP3, WMA, FLAC and WAV, and can play back tunes from iPods, Bluetooth devices and other Yamaha accessories with its built-in dock port.

If you prefer, you can even plug in USB flash drives and the MusicCAST2 can also pull audio from sources such as Rhapsody, Internet radio, PC and Macs and NAS devices.

You ask us, this is a pretty cool use of Legos. And if companies don’t want to build robot iPod docks, then damnit, we will make our own. The creator actually built this bot-dock about 2 years ago, and only recently decided that it was time to share it with the internet.

The dock is a cannibalized iPod mini dock, and the robot/base is a mashup of several lego kits. (The AT-AT on the right claw gives it away. That, and the LEGOLAND sticker which came with Lego Soccer.) You can find more pics on flickr.

Put together two iconic classics and you can never go wrong. In this case it’s the iPod and the Atari 2600. The homemade dock puts the iPod connector where the cartridge used to go,(you’re probably using your cartridges as wallets anyway).

How could this be better? With the iPhone of course. With an LCD in the middle so you could play iPhone games properly with controllers. When iPod and Atari 2600’s meet, it’s like geek destiny. It’s a love that will endure forever.

This Akai AISS010 All-in-oneHome theater system has it all. We’re not sure, but there may even be a place that spits out movie tickets, in case you miss the theater.

Some features include: Docks and charges iPod, Compatible with CD/ DVD/CD-R/CD-RW/MP3/WMA/VCD/JPEG/DIVX/MPEG4, AM/FM radio with digital readout, HDMI 1080P, Supports USB and card audio playing, Built-in DVD player, LCD clock display, Composite video, S-video, Y, Cb, Cr video output, Supports all iPods, Digital coaxial & optical audio output, VFD Multi-function display, Automatic age lock and screen protection function, Remote control unit, 2.1 + 1 track power output (double sub-woofer), 4″ x 4 + 5″ x2 bass speaker 40w + 20w*2 (RMS 10% THD).

This clock radio/iPod dock has been in Europe for a while, but looks like Sonoro’s Eklipse iPod dock/CD player/ clock radio has only just gotten official for the US, and even has a price. That price is a shocking $550. The time must be displayed in real gold.

That price gets you 7.5W of power output, an OLED display, remote, and an auxiliary jack along with your iPod dock and slot-load CD. No official word on a release date, but soon you should be able to pre-order.

If you’ve been paying attention, the latest iPod Shuffle doesn’t have any buttons on it, the controls are in the headphones, which is fine if you want to listen to it via the headphones, but what about when you want to listen to it in your car or an iPod dock? Never fear Shuffle owners, Scosche has the answer with the Scosche tapStick iPod Shuffle case.

The Scosche tapStick fits snuggly over your iPod Shuffle and adds controls to the front. Three buttons that have the same functions as the iPod Shuffle headphones. It comes with a 3 foot aux cable. Don’t let Apple take away your precious buttons. Buttons are your god-given right. If you want buttons, you can have buttons. Stick it to the man and order one today.

JVC just revealed their UX-LP5 today. This sound system is a Hi-Fi that features an iPod dock that can flip down whenever you need it. The device has a video output, so you can watch videos stored on your iPod on a nearby connected television. There’s also an audio input on the front for easy connectivity.

Some other features include a total power output of 70 watts, AM/FM tuner, CD player, a USB port, MP3 and WMA compatibility. And it’s pretty sleek looking too. So, if you’re in the market for a Hi-Fi that can play your MP3s, you can get the JVC UX-LP5 now for $149.95.

When I first heard about Wireless USB, I was excited that I could ditch all the cables behind my computer and go cable free. Unfortunately, my dreams of no cables in my office have not yet come true. One of the biggest companies pushing Wireless USB is Alereon and the firm is announcing a new accessory for the iPhone this month at Computex.

The accessory does two things for the iPhone and iPod touch. First, the gadget apparently has an internal battery that allows the iPhone or iPod to operate longer than possible on the internal battery alone. The accessory is based on low-power 90nm-LP AL5301 chip built in the 12-inch wafer plant owned by Samsung in Korea.

GEAR4 has announced the ChargeDock. They describe it as a “great looking and superbly functional home docking station for iPod and iPhone”. Isn’t that what all docking stations should aspire to be? When you toot your own horn like that, it makes us not that into you. Just fyi.

The ChargeDock claims to include all you need to sync and charge your iPod and iPhone wherever you happen to be using them. You can charge from the AC power supply, or via USB, with the USB sync cable for syncing with your computer’s iTunes library, without having to remove the device from the dock.

There are lots of iPod accessories on the market today and the bulk of them may work with the iPod, but they are not iPhone compatible. That means when you plug them in you get that message on your iPhone screen saying you can’t make calls.

Pioneer has announced a new line of A/V receivers that are designed to work with both the iPhone and the iPod touch. The VSX-819AH, VSX-919AH and VSX-1019AH receivers are all certified for the “Works with iPhone” and “Made for iPod” line of products.

Microsoft made the official announcement late Tuesday that the Zune HD, the next generation of the Zune media player, would indeed be hitting the market in the near future. The Zune HD packs some new features including built-in HD radio, high-def video out, OLED multi-touch screen, WiFi and an included internet browser.

Samson has just released the Expedition XP308i, a portable 8-channel mixer that comes with a built-in iPod dock and dual two-way speakers. It packs a 300-watt power amplifier inside, along with 8″ woofers in 2-way vented enclosures, and a couple of internal 150W Class D amplifiers.

It was specially designed to not weigh a ton and make it easy to carry around. You’ll also get four mic/line inputs, two stereo inputs, and the ability to control the bass and treble. The Expedition XP308i will be available in June for $680.

Griffin Technology has two new products for powering iPhones and iPods. The PowerBlock Reserve and PowerJolt Reserve. They’re available separately or as a bundle. Both the units use the same power unit, the Griffin Reserve Battery Pack.

They support any USB-rechargeable product, including the iPhone and various iPods. The PowerBlock Reserve works as an AC-charger for home. The removable battery has a direct-to-dock connection for iPhones or iPods. The PowerJolt Reserve works with 12V DC power for vehicles. If you need both, then you’ll want to purchase the bundle.
