It's a pretty cool idea, but it's heavy and kludgy.  I mean I guess it's portable, but it weighs about 5lbs (w/o batteries) and is about 3x3x8 inches.  The sound quality is pretty good for something this size with only 2 speakers.  It would be nice if they'd had separate tweeters and midrange/woofer to get a bit better range, but that might have put it out of their target pricepoint.  If the speakers aren't pointing directly at you, all of the highs are gone due to the depth of the cones.<br><br>One thing that is really annoying is that the iPod doesn't sit in the thing nicely, like the photos show -- it sits really awkwardly unless the iPod is tucked inside and the case is zipped up.  It would be nice if there were some way to mount the iPod on the outside or to have it sit flat so that you could control more than just volume, play/pause, and forward/back.  <br><br>The build quality feels pretty solid for the most part.  But the zipper strap is not removable, and seems like it might have problems with breaking after a few months of hard use.  I've not tried mounting it to anything to see if that feature works well.<br><br>Overall I'd give it about a 7.5/10.  I was looking for something a bit more portable and allowing easier iPod use.  But this is still a pretty good product.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[foQ]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 8th 2007 4:24PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on iHome unveils bevy of colorful iPod alarm clocks / speaker systems]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/ihome-unveils-bevy-of-colorful-ipod-alarm-clocks-speaker-syste/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/ihome-unveils-bevy-of-colorful-ipod-alarm-clocks-speaker-syste/</guid><description><![CDATA[No... more... iPod... crap....
