Inkel IDS-1500 WiFi phone dock keeps the iPod in awkward company

You know how Apple products get when they're around their "lesser" consumer electronics counterparts at parties. It starts with a lack of eye contact and some foot scuffing, and ends badly with a scene in close proximity to the punch bowl. That said, Inkel's giving it a shot with this here IDS-1500 WiFi phone dock, which mixes an iPod dock with internet radio functionality and song playback through the phone. Not a bad combination in the least, so as long as the iPod steers clear of the alcohol. No word on price or availability.

"lesser" consumer electronics...

I'd gladly take everything in that picture with THE EXCEPTION of the IPOD. Not to mention it is OBSOLETE.

The WiFi phone would really come in handy in fact.

Obsolete? If you ask me, the last generation of iPod is far better than the new Classic.

Why would you want an iPod speaker dock if you hate the iPod so much?

Thanks.

I was wondering when i'd get my daily dose of Flashpoint-Apple-Hate.

Can I dock my iPhone and make things even more awkward?

Don't let the iPhone near your booze, man. He's BAAAD company.

Jeebus! No more iPod docks please! We get it, with a couple of crappy speakers and a bit of wire, any object can (and has) become an iPod dock. All of these devices would have worked equally as well with a transistor radio from 1962.

Great, another post about a useless iPod dock. And of course, all other electronics are "lesser."

[Jeff @ Mar 10th 2008 6:04PM]

those other electronics must be getting an inferiority complex.

poor little guys.
