DLO's iBoom JukeBox mildly resembles an igloo

Yeah, the whole igloo comparison loses some steam once you peek this thing from the side, but when glancing it head-on, we can't help but be overcome with imagery of our childhood days spent in the plains of Greenland. Unfortunately, this thing's ability to conjure up said memories is probably its standout feature -- well, aside from the RF remote that enables users to browse iPod content right on its screen (shown after the break). Outside of that, you'll find a totally average speaker setup consisting of twin one-inch tweeters and three-inch woofers along with a set of touch-sensitive controls atop the device itself. Reportedly, the iBoom JukeBox is slated to further saturate the iPod speaker system market this Spring for $199.99.

Can anyone recommend a good ipod speaker system with a similar remote that'll give me a menu on the actual remote itself?

Thanks engadget readers!

Sounds great and has a very versatile remote.

Here is a more recent review of it: http://www.ipodobserver.com/story/34459

I have one and I love it.

I hope someone actually makes an igloo skin for it.

[shervin2 @ Jan 19th 2008 4:04PM]

What is this? A new product comes out but still uses the old Ipod touch UI?

[Jonathan-DBOSS @ Jan 19th 2008 4:10PM]

It needs some iglue.

[jamma @ Jan 19th 2008 4:24PM]

You can get it with the new UI for $219.99 instead of $199.99. :P

Although all my principles told me not to buy the "update", I couldn't help myself...god I hate Apple

[Jordan @ Jan 19th 2008 4:25PM]

Can somebody help me, I can't log in to my blogsmith profile when I click on my name, then the are you Jordan. I want to change settings, but it says invalid password.

[Vishal Varshney @ Jan 19th 2008 7:28PM]

Shouldn't that be iGloo?

(Sorry, just had to do that).

[Sirocco @ Jan 19th 2008 8:52PM]

It doesn't matter what an iPod costs. I CAN'T AFFORD THE ACCESSORIES!

[Brian @ Jan 20th 2008 6:14AM]

I dunno, looks kinda like an AfroPod too.

Funky time.
