iHome2Go announcing iH85 bike sound system

Looks like SDI Technologies is about to extend its iHome line of iPod accessories into heretofore unexplored territory, with the company set to announce this bicycle sound system at CES in January. There's not a whole lot of details to report at the moment, but the device (assigned the iH85 designation in SDI's naming scheme) is apparently water-resistant and, from the pics, appears to provide some protection for your precious iPod, as well what may or may not be a wireless remote so you won't have to pull over and disassemble the whole unit every time you want to skip a track or crank the volume. Needless to say, there's also no word on pricing or availability, though that and some more specs should be revealed at the big show in Vegas.

Great. So now, instead of enjoying the serene beauty of nature when I go ride the rail trail, I'll hear a bunch of granola-hippies blasting Enya. Someone should put a stop to this pronto.

Yet another reason to buy an iPod. I feel really stupid now for buying/wasting my money for the CZV:M. Yup. Thanks for turning it into a monopoly. I have commented on something similar to this before about the same topic as I'm saying right now but this topic deserves 2 comments about it. AHHH. It makes me get huge headaches and sometimes i just want to scream my head off. STOP THE MONOPOLY MADNESS!!!

unexplored territory???? how quickly you forget! you guys covered my product months ago: the i-RIDE. It was the first real, deliverable, working bicycle stereo system for any IPOD, MP3 player, etc. Check your archives!

granola-hippies don't listen to Enya douch bag.

What would be cool is if it derived power from regenerative braking or from wheels spining. Also if it had a small subwoofer you could attach to your rack. Also, everything needs to be detachable for when you park your ride.

Ah hell, I'll just build my own ;)
