Yamaha kicks out TSX-W80, TSX-70 iPod docks / clock radios

It may not go to eleven, but Yamaha's new TSX-W80 iPod dock at least pack some knobs that you'll no doubt be tempted to turn all the way up, and just the right blend of retro good looks and newfangled technology to stand out in a crowded field. That includes a so-called AirWired cradle that'll let you use your iPod or iPhone as a remote, a dock on the main unit itself to charge your iPod, and a choice of three different colors (with matching LED displays) to suit your style. Those looking for something a bit more simple and less eye-catching can also opt for Yamaha's new TSX-70 model (pictured after the break), which drops the AirWired controller but hangs onto the standard iPod dock and all the basic clock radio functionality you'd expect. No word on a release over here just yet, but it looks like both should be available in Japan shortly.

Available in Japan? WTF?

Finally, an iPod/iPhone dock/radio I would actually enjoy being seen (and heard) in my house and I have to fly to Japan to get it?

Crikey.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 8th 2009 4:54PM]

Nope not true love tons of other brands ..do you have Apple Envy?
or Penis Envy for that matter

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 8th 2009 7:01PM]

I like how your apple avatar has now changed...now back to penis talk, you want some?

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 8th 2009 3:00PM]

Either one looks good to me but I think I am leaning towards the TSX-70. Any idea of price?

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 8th 2009 3:14PM]

Couldn't those two be connected with a simple Wi-Fi connection? That cradle wouldn't be necessary..

[triptych Posted Oct 8th 2009 4:16PM]

I'm praying that the detachable bit is actually a rechargeable battery pack, so when you're using the iPhone/iPod as a remote it's still being charged.

This I pray.

[Poop Chef Posted Oct 8th 2009 6:14PM]

The TSX-70 looks really damn good.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 8th 2009 7:30PM]
