Speakal makes some of the stranger and more interesting speaker docks on the market. They have docks for the iPhone that look like pigs and some look like other animals. The company has announced a new speaker system today called the iPom.

The iPom is designed to look like an apple with two speakers that look like flowers. The device lacks an iPod dock and makes due with a 3.5mm headphone jack for connecting to devices. The speaker flowers are removable and can be positioned.

Today’s iPod dock of the day is the Maxell MXSP-D240 which comes in black or white colors and looks like a barrel. We can only assume that a Mario accessory is on the way.

This dock comes with a few 53mm driver units and should roll onto the Japanese market sometime this month for €76. Careful you don’t let this one roll off your shelf. Anybody digging this design? Maybe I’m being too harsh.

At last, you can measure kitchen ingredients and dock your iPod at the same time. Because you can’t go anywhere without your iPod right?

And you no longer have to thanks to manufacturer Rihanna, who is working on this $100 kitchen scale due out next year. It sports an iPod dock and a 2W speaker under the glass platform. Your iPod displays the song while a black and white LCD displays the weight info.

After countless iPod/iPhone docks that are all pretty much the same, the XML8110 Mechless Mobile Audio system manages to be unique. It combines an iPod docking station with a car stereo. On the surface it looks like a standard car stereo, but when you flip it down, the integrated universal iPod dock is exposed.

It will let you dock your iPod, charge the device, and users will be able to access all the playlists and music on the device. It also comes with a built in FM radio, EQ presets and an AUX In for connecting other devices. It will also allow users to take calls from their iPhone. With a corresponding iPhone app that’s also in the works, the integration between these two devices gets better.

The Panasonic MW-10 was announced last month and was available in Japan only, but here’s some good news for those of you who have been lusting after it. The device is now available in the States for $299.95.

To refresh your memory, the MW-10 has an integrated CD player, a FM/AM radio tuner with 45-station (30-FM/15-AM)m D.Bass function, a Universal Dock for your iPod, a 9″ WVGA LCD display so you can use it as a digital photo frame, 4GB of internal memory and an SD memory card slot.

If you’re looking for an Apple handheld pico projector, you have one more option. Sparkz is a dock that is compatible with your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPod video, along with other A/V and VGA sources. It features 640 x 480 resolution, a 60-inch viewing area, and stereo speakers.

How much would you expect to pay for this device? 250? 350? This can be yours for the price of $495. Is it worth it? I’ll let you be the judge of that. It will also charge your iPhone and it comes with a tripod.

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).

Today’s iPod dock of the day award goes to the Hard Rock Cafe’s very own iPod Dock. I guess it makes sense for them to offer one up. The limited edition Hard Rock MP3 Retro Radio features an FM digital tuner and an iPod dock that supports every generation including the iPhone 3G and iPod Touch.

Does anyone not already own an iPod dock by now? Well if you’ve been waiting for a dirt cheap iPod dock, get in the game already with this one. You can connect your other non-Apple MP3 players, CD players or other audio devices to the speaker via the audio line-in cord and it’s powered by 4 AA batteries.

Remember the XM SkyDock? It’s now available for purchase for $120. For that price it will give you full touchscreen control along with tagging capabilities over your in-car satellite radio. SkyDock features a built-in XM tuner and PowerConnect FM transmitter and will plug right into the cigarette lighter / power adapter socket where it will also charge your Apple device.

XM is making the App a free download from Apple’s App Store, but you’ll still have to run the antenna cable along the inside of your vehicle’s weather stripping to attach the magnetic antenna to your car’s roof (just above your front windshield) for optimal results.

If you’re looking for a boring and plain iPod dock and you are prepared to spend a small fortune on it, this one is for you. For $379.99, you can get the “high-end” Wadia 170i Transport iPod dock.

It’s the first product to offer the iPod’s audio output over S/PDIF coaxial (RCA), DVD quality video via component outputs, which is cool, but this thing is super boring design-wise. It’s a simple aluminum chassis. Audiophiles will love it, but not to look at.

Well, we all loved Regen’s Renu solar-powered iPod dock, but this guy pictured above towers over it. It’s called the Reverb and it’s 3-feet tall, living solely to crank out 60 watts of power using the power of the sun.

This bad boy will play your music for 4.5 hours at full volume or 12 hours at a normal volume. BUT, it takes 20 hours of outdoor sun exposure (or 40 hours indoor) to get a full charge. If you are not the patient type, the Reverb can be powered using a regular electrical socket.

Several of the new iPhone docking alarm clocks that I have seen hit the market lately share something in common. Many of them are now sporting dual charge docks. This is a good thing since many homes now have more than one iPod or iPhone vying for that charge dock. The iLuv iMM183 unveiled today is another dual docking alarm clock with some cool features.

Perhaps the most interesting of the features aside from the dual cocks is the integrated weather band radio also with an alert system that puts weather warnings on the front of the clock. The device uses SAME technology to receive local weather info.

And the iPhone/iPod dock of the day is the Pure Siesta iDock, a stereo DAB/ DAB+/ FM clock radio complete with an iPod and iPhone dock. Need to take a Siesta? There’s a dock for that.

Enjoy your daytime nap with your favorite tunes with your iPhone or iPod docked. Some features of this dock include a large auto-dimming display, four quick-set alarms, sleep and snooze timers (Because who wants to wake up?) and 15 DAB/FM presets.

I have never had a problem getting out of bed in the morning, my wife on the other hand is worse than my kids. For people who don’t wake up well, Philips has unveiled a new alarm clock called the Wake-up Light.

The clock has a traditional alarm built in and the iPod docking model can wake you to music from your playlist, FM radio, or different nature sounds. The big feature of the device is the light that simulates a sunrise.

These new Barbie iPod docks are great if you live in an oversized Malibu dreamhouse, have never grown up and are female. If you fit that description, these Barbie iPod docks are for you. All of that pink is sure to annoy the Ken in your life however.

In all there are 4 new Barbie iPod docking stations and all function as alarm clocks while advertising the Barbie doll brand. Depending on which models you choose, they will retail from $19.99 to $79.99.
