Sonic Impact K1 brings a 7-inch screen to your video iPod

The fine folks at iLounge have a new iPod guide out, and it looks like they've tracked down quite a few up and coming products to include in their "first looks" section. Most of 'em are just cases for that favored music player, but this Sonic Impact K1 iPod "dock" is quite the exception. The device, which is still in the works, accepts your 5G iPod, offers its own touch sensitve controls, and has a 7-inch widescreen VGA-ish display for when 2.5-inches just doesn't cut it. It should go for around $300, whenever it makes it to stores, and should make for little bit of blissful roadtripping when you don't feel like toting a laptop or squinting for a few hours straight.

This is a great product. Well worth the steep price. The screen on the KI is truly magnificent, and perfect if you have lots of converted movies on the Ipod. Not to mention the high quality speakers. This is one product you don�t want to miss put on.

Steep price seen it in the apple shop for $149 hardly bad for a dvd player and its really thin with nice buttons

The Video 55 from Sonic Impact is not compatible with the Ipod Nano 3G for the video viewing. I am told that a simple cable will fix the problem but Apple told me no such cable exists to run the video. I guess this neat Christmas present must go back to Costco

Make that the 8G Nano
