It was simply a matter of time before someone crafted a
HiFi-inspired boombox tailored to play extra nice with Apple's iPhone, and now that the handset is
loose (officially, that is) in the UK, iStuff is delivering the "world's first iPhone compatible speaker dock." The device, which is also compatible with dock-connecting iPods, sports a four-inch woofer, a pair of mid-range drivers and a couple of tweeters, all powered by a 40-watt amplifier. Furthermore, the unit includes a S-Video output, 3.5-millimeter auxiliary jack, USB connector and an IR remote to keep the jams spinnin' from the comfort of your own couch. The PhoneDock claims to be superior to those
other guys by not introducing static / noise when an iPhone is connected, but who knows how much truth there is to all that. Nevertheless, those willing to take the plunge can snag one now for £129 ($272).

nice
nice handsfree..
I wouldn't call any of these docks, or a boombox, hi-fi.
They should update their iPhone to 1.1.1. :)
I don't understand why people just don't hook it up to actual speakers.
Is that the best name they could come up with for the company? iHave a hard time taking products released by companies named "iAnything" seriously.
I have the Hi-Fi and every time I show it to my friends they are always blown away on how good it sound. I still love my HiFi I will probably go bose next time now since the hifi is discontinued
Your comment exemplifies everything wrong with consumers when they make audio choices today. It makes me shudder.
I bet you use iTunes, too.
well considering i do use all apple computers i do use itunes. Sure beats looking through a directory of folders like i use to in windows xp less than a year ago. I purchased the hifi because it used the serial port on the bottom of the ipod giving me high fedelity sound instead of using the anolog port on to. To use apple user we want good sound at the not many companies offered quality like that.
the hi-fi kicks bose in the balls. cheap flimsy underpowered paper and foam crap....
Wow!
They actually managed to make it even uglier than the original white-dipped cement block!
Why's the iPhone in the picture running pre-1.1.1?
