If you ask us, the iTeufel speaker system looks a lot like the Bose SoundDock, though with Bose's signature curves replaced by a somewhat boxy Teutonic design (and, no, we're not suggesting anything beyond the basic look; no lawsuit-bait here). The speaker system works with 3rd and 4th Gen iPods and iPod minis, and includes a remote — as well as a line in, just in case you've got some other audio player you'd like to hook up. It's expected to be out in Europe this August, priced at € 399 — which seems like a bit much to us, considering that similar units like the SoundDock go for about $299. Then again, Teufel speakers do have their fans, so if you're into them, this may be for you.

1. Ewww!
2. Does the dial go to eleven?
3. Ewww!
I actually prefer the look to the Bose.. but they're both overpriced. I don't know about this one, but I thought the Bose sound wasn't impressive.
Looks more like a bathroom scale to me...
In case you were wondering, "Teufel" is the German word for "devil".
mmm, looks like a Grundig tabletop radio on an acid trip.
When my wife started crying for one of those Bose speaker docks, though, I showed her how to use a 3.5mm stereo patch cable to plug her iPod into the Sony boombox she already had.
