I love Vintage radios and 8-Tracks. Many just have a retro design that can’t be beat. The kind of style that no one is delivering today. The only thing better than a well designed vintage 8-Track player would be one that was modified as an iPod dock.

That’s exactly what we have here. This instructable shows you how to do it. Clearing out an 8-Track’s guts to to hold the contents of an iPod dock isn’t all that hard. The most important thing is that you start off with a great vintage device.

There’s only a few more days to go until Valentine’s day. If you’re still looking for a gift for your significant other, why not make it this horrible iPod speaker dock from Ricco? Girls will love it. It is hot pink after all and heart-shaped.

The only thing it’s missing to make it perfect for females everywhere is Hello Kitty’s face. It’s compatible with all iPods and iPhones and can be connected to other music players with the 3.5mm audio line-in cable. If it’s portability you want, it also runs on 4xAAA batteries.

If you need a headphone amp, Audio Technica has a special one just for you. The AT-HA35i amp includes a D/A converter that supports 192 kHz/24bit audio, along with a max output of 440mWx2, 20-20kHz frequency response and support for 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz sampling.

But what makes this one unique is that it has a built-in iPod dock. Pretty cool no? It even packs in RCA, S-Video, and digital audio outputs in back to connect it to your other devices. Obviously it will cost you. Expect to pay about $560 when it arrives in Japan next month.

Dualie is a silly name, but fitting for this product. Buffalo has released the Buffalo Dualie. The Dualie is a 500GB portable hard drive, and a dock for your iPhone or iPod, allowing you to save some space on your desk, by docking both products together in one base.

Two in one. Dualie. Get it? Those folks at Buffalo sure are clever. It’s a much better name than doubly or SinglyX2. The device features 2 additional USB ports, and lets you sync your device with your computer and access the hard drive at the same time.

The Yamaha YHT-S400 is an attractive home theater package where you get a subwoofer-integrated receiver and an extremely slim front speaker that fits in front of almost any TV.

You’ll get three 1080p-compatible HDMI inputs (one output), Yamaha’s Air Surround Xtreme, UniVolume and Extended Stereo technologies for immersive audio with movies, sports and music. The sound bar is also compatible with a universal iPod dock and a Bluetooth A2DP receiver dongle. It will cost you $599.95.

I never cease to be amazed at the weird accessories that you can find for the iPhone and iPods. I continue to be almost as amazed at what the manufacturers expect consumers to pay for some of these weird accessories.

A company called Branex has unveiled a new iPod docking stool called the iTamtam. Yeah, you read that right a stool with an iPod dock. Under the butt section of the seat are four tweeters and a 5.25-inch woofer.

The JVC RV-NB50, aka the Kaboom, resembles a large pipe bomb with an iPod controlling it. The Kaboom was first released several years ago and made an impact with its high power and durability. Well, now it’s back and sports an integrated iPod dock and USB without sacrificing performance.

It delivers 40 watts of power and features a woofer at each end with bass enhancement circuitry that will rock the party. You also get a CD player, an integrated FM tuner and a front audio input. A shoulder strap makes it a easy to carry. It also comes with a remote control.

Remember Vestalife’s ladybug? The insect inspired speaker system for the iPod sure has come a long way. At CES 2010, Vestalife took the opportunity to launch several new designs.

Among them are the LadyBug 2 and the Firefly. The new designs are bigger, which of course means larger sound, are prettier and more streamlined. The new versions are also compatible with the new iPhones and iPod touch.

The Creative Gigaworks HD50i speaker system aims to deliver maximum stereo impact on your desktop thanks to Creative’s High Definition Driver technology, the Titanium Super Tweeter, and BasXPort technology.

And of course you can dock your iPod and enjoy all of your favorite tunes. The Creative Gigaworks HD50i speakers will cost you $169.99 and comes with a remote controller.

The GenevaSound iPod dock is gargantuan. But now you can get a much smaller version that sports the same style in this GenevaSound System Model S.

What this one lacks in size it makes up for in glossiness, with a lipstick red color. The price is also smaller than the original at $300. Looks like it also comes in black and silver if red is too bright for you.

There are so many iPod docks on the market that it is hard to find one that is unique or has anything new to offer. The new JVC XS-SR3 is an interesting dock though with the ability to hold the iPod vertically or horizontally. You might recall this thing first tipped up back in October, but we didn’t have pricing or availability info at the time.

Users can take advantage of the docks virtual Dolby surround sound for watching movies on the iPod or for listening to music. The dock is designed with a glossy black speaker tube with a curved design. The speakers in the dock use neodymium magnets for crisp clean sound.

There is no shortage of accessories on the market for the iPhone and the iPod. There are a plethora of docks and cradles that let you play music through your car or home stereo. Most of the docks require the iPhone to be plugged into them though.

Belkin has announced a new Belkin Bluetooth Music Receiver that uses Bluetooth to wirelessly stream music from your iPhone to the home stereo. The device has a wireless range of 33 feet and works with all generation iPhones and the 2ng generation iPod touch.

Speakal is known for its line of often strange iPod docks. As far as some of the Speakal designs go, the new miSoccer soccer ball iPod dock is fairly normal. The thing might be a great gift for the soccer fan.

The miSoccer has 23W of power with a 15W subwoofer and a pair of multi-way speakers that split the left over power. The speakers are arranged to give a 360-degree sound field. Controls for the music and track are located on top of the ball and are touch sensitive.

Electrolux just launched a commercial vacuum cleaner so quiet that it features an iPod dock and speakers. The “UltraSilencer” is the first such vacuum in existence. The company even went so far as to conduct a lab study to prove that “music assisted vacuuming increases the number of nozzle sweeps, improves the cleaning result and leaves a general feeling of happiness.”

We say it just takes the boring out of vacuuming. Why it’s as if Van Halen or Pink Floyd were cleaning your house right by your side. Awesome concept.

Naturally whenever you look at your old video game consoles, you think iPhone dock. Who doesn’t? Wired’s Charlie Sorrel certainly thinks that way. He found an old Sega Mega Drive without any controllers or wires, so he turned it into an iPod dock. Naturally.

And yes it works. He just slid an iPod dock inside, secured it with gaffer tape and ran the USB cable out of a hole. Easy stuff. We like the way Charlie thinks. Just don’t let him near your stuff. Seriously. Not unless you want an iPhone sticking out of it.
