Nowadays they only last about 2 years when Apple releases a new iPod connector specification. I know I won't get sucked into buying an iPod compatible Hi-Fi speaker system again.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[GoVegan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 4th 2008 5:36AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Yamaha introduces four mini audio systems, all with iPod docks]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/yamaha-introduces-four-mini-audio-systems-all-with-ipod-docks/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/03/yamaha-introduces-four-mini-audio-systems-all-with-ipod-docks/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hopefully these will sound as good as their studio monitors..
