To me, I like the idea of having a built in multicard reader and USB ports, and the added plus of being able to dock my Ipod to charge it.
That how I see it. In other words, some people brought up the point that you could just launch iTunes and play media from your computer instead of docking your Ipod to do the same thing. But I don't think of the dock as being another way just to play media that's already on your computer, but just simply a convenient way to dock and charge your Ipod (especially since Apple docks aren't included with Ipods and cost extra). Hey, one less dock on my desk and one less cord to plug in, along with the other features to boot, all in a great looking monitor chassis with either a 19" or 22" screen. Can't beat that. This panel would also make a great addition to a Mac Mini (too bad those don't come in black).
I hope the res is WUXGA and the screen is glossy. If that's in order, I wouldn't hesitate to buy one of these.
I do wish they'd make a 24" version. That would be even better.

I really like this monitor.
