Logitech announces X-240 PC speaker system / DAP dock
It seems that Logitech has exhausted its efforts on DAP-centric speaker docks (not really), as its latest creation is a 2.1 PC speaker system that just so happens to double as a docking station for your PDA, DAP, PMP, or other PC-connecting gizmo. Sporting an all black motif, the system features twin 5-watt stereo speakers, a 15-watt subwoofer, headphone jack, "convenient volume and power controls," and a stowaway device cradle that allows you to sync up your gadgetry with your PC while it recharges. The package also includes a standard 3.5-millimeter stereo cable, "cradle trays" for your iPod, iPod video, iPod nano, and Microsoft Zune, and when the dock becomes too much hassle for what it's worth, you can simply disconnect it without interfering with the speakers. Slated to hit retail outlets in the US in April, Europeans can look for these come May, and while we doubt audiophiles even read this far, you budget-minded folk should enjoy the fairly reasonable $49.99 pricetag.

Ugggh! I have a set of Logitech X-530 (x series) and they have such terrible frequency responce. This is the only time I may say claim something blows harder than bose, but logitech X-... series blows even harder.
Howevever Logitech Z series, those are actualy quite good (Z-5500) and have decent freqency responce.

Too bad I just bought the Z-2300's because having an iPod dock like that, where apple's dock is $49 alone, along with a decent speaker system for only $49 is a very, very, very good deal.

I'm not sure this has an actual iPod "dock" though, does it? I got the impression it just has a place to put your iPod, and you just connect to the headphone jack, which wouldn't necessarily sound as good as audio outputted through the dock connector.

Any idea, when it is going to be launched in Australia?
Cheers.
