Polk Audio I-Sonic ES2 features iTunes song tagging

Already, new peripherals are popping up to take advantage of the new features in Apple's updated iPod line-up, with Polk Audio's I-Sonic Entertainment System 2 packing a poor man's equivalent of the Starbucks song purchase feature over in-store WiFi. When songs are playing over the built-in HD Radio, users can press a tag button, which creates a custom playlist on docked iPods, allowing songs to be purchased later when at a computer. The ES2 also features XM Connect & Play capability, a CD/DVD drive for audio playback, an alarm clock mode, and 360-degree sound, whatever the hell that is. The ES2 hits next month for $499.

So why would u pay $500 for something the zune already does? Not very many people listen to the radio anyway... I think it'd be more effective to buy a $100 dock...

im pretty sure this isnt a "poor mans starbucks" thing since it cost $500 and is alot more practical

Well they got one thing right here, the best value for money and probably the best iPod ever (in terms of value for money and memory) is the Classic 80gig. Leave the Touch well alone for another year or two. I'm taking quite a liking to the 80gig Classic at moment, looking forward to seeing it up close. Am I sum kina pervert liking the Classic, the Touch is like a real tasty young lady with not a lot up-top, the Classic is like a familiar lady friend who lets you talk for hours about gadgets and stuff before seducing you and making you do dirty things while she tells you how great you make her feel. mmmmmmm iPod Classic = MILF.

So does that make my old iPod Photo a GILF? I think I feel sick...

Sorry to break this Richard, look away if you must, the iPod Photo is now an OGILF (Old Guy, possibly a little crusty), you may now blow your guts.

weird shit

360-degree sound means that you can always hear it whenever you walk around it. Doesn't that make sense. The only thing that doesn't make sense is the cost. Way too expensive.
