That message is bunk. This only means that it doesn't suppress the occasional noise from the crappy GSM radio.

The first one has a little plastic cradle thing that they didn't picture for whatever reason. It holds the device very securely.

The Dual is cheaper because it's a Dual.

Although they could have made the design look a little less like a neon road sign and a little more like an elegant car stereo; something that doesn't scream "geek" as soon as you pick up a girl for a date....]]>Nov 18th 2009 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/dual-electronics-xml8110-in-dash-iphone-dock-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/dual-electronics-xml8110-in-dash-iphone-dock-announced/Nov 18th 2009 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/dual-electronics-xml8110-in-dash-iphone-dock-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/dual-electronics-xml8110-in-dash-iphone-dock-announced/

My wife already knows I am a geek. And she would be a bit upset if I tried to pick up a girl...

Ignoring the Ipod/Iphone nonsense...not sure why that leads you to conclude that I am ugly...

Do you actual think this stereo would like good in the dashboard of your car? Because I still stand up my statement that it is hideous.]]>Nov 18th 2009 6:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/dual-electronics-xml8110-in-dash-iphone-dock-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/dual-electronics-xml8110-in-dash-iphone-dock-announced/Nov 18th 2009 8:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/dual-electronics-xml8110-in-dash-iphone-dock-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/dual-electronics-xml8110-in-dash-iphone-dock-announced/Nov 18th 2009 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/dual-electronics-xml8110-in-dash-iphone-dock-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/dual-electronics-xml8110-in-dash-iphone-dock-announced/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod ) and then the iPhone, that's only about 21 million. So they're going to make the Droid dock to get that extra 100,000 sales.

I remember when Microsoft came out with Sync. Honestly, I thought it would fail, but it's a pretty stellar piece of equipment. GPS directions, connection with my car over Bluetooth, all while streaming HD radio and your music simultaneously through a Zune, iPod, what have you. Plus with a 41 MPG car, there's no way I would have let my dad turn down that purchase.

Car companies have only begun to scratch the surface; Sync, Bluetooth, and this DE car dock are a step in the right direction =].]]>Nov 18th 2009 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/dual-electronics-xml8110-in-dash-iphone-dock-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/dual-electronics-xml8110-in-dash-iphone-dock-announced/Nov 18th 2009 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/dual-electronics-xml8110-in-dash-iphone-dock-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/dual-electronics-xml8110-in-dash-iphone-dock-announced/Nov 18th 2009 2:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/dual-electronics-xml8110-in-dash-iphone-dock-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/dual-electronics-xml8110-in-dash-iphone-dock-announced/Nov 18th 2009 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/dual-electronics-xml8110-in-dash-iphone-dock-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/dual-electronics-xml8110-in-dash-iphone-dock-announced/Nov 18th 2009 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/dual-electronics-xml8110-in-dash-iphone-dock-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/dual-electronics-xml8110-in-dash-iphone-dock-announced/Nov 18th 2009 2:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/dual-electronics-xml8110-in-dash-iphone-dock-announced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/18/dual-electronics-xml8110-in-dash-iphone-dock-announced/nothing is beats on the droid. droid is super best phone in the lands:

Not the same with my older Pioneer stereo in my car with Bluetooth...difficult to get them talking on that one. Bluetooth has gotten better over the last couple of years.

- iPhone's Bluetooth doesn't support AVRCP yet, or dash controls would be good and safer
- sometimes, all the media or playback you need is on your iPhone, plus satellite radio or streaming internet stations
- if navigation and phone calls work well, this could be very helpful
- no need to charge via cigarette lighter, less accessories to buy
- depending on your car, the iPhone would be positioned higher than a dock near the cigarette lighter, making for "safer" driving, not staring as downwards
