iHome expands its portable offerings with trio of road-warrior iPhone and iPod accessories
What, this morning's iPhone-friendly offerings from iHome don't jive with your nomadic, cord-hating lifestyle? Check out the company's next triumvirate of Apple-inclined accessories: iP48 Portable Rechargeable Stereo Alarm Clock: Yes, it's another alarm clock (pictured above), but this one zips shut to easily slip into your roller. It packs an internal, rechargeable battery and also will sync with your iPhone's time, so no more late-night attempts at clock setting, you jet-setter you. iP49 Portable Rechargeable Studio Series Audio System: We unfortunately don't know what this one looks like, but we're told it packs all the features of the home alarm clocks but with even better audio and, again, a rechargeable battery. A remote control is a nice bonus for when you're too tired to wander across that 2,500 square foot penthouse suite your platinum reward status earned you. iHM79 Rechargeable Mini Speakers: Perhaps the most useful of the three, the iHM79 (pictured after the break) is simply a set of tiny, portable speakers that will work with Apple devices or, indeed, anything with a 3.5mm output. They too are rechargeable and pack an internal amp. Like before, no prices or specific availability dates for any of these, so you'll just have to wait a bit on that. Yeah, we know, patience isn't our strongest asset either.
iHome showcases iP29 / iP49 / iHMP5 iPod speaker systems
iLuv already dropped a bundle of iPod alarm clock / speaker systems here at CES, so it follows logic for yet another "i" company to dole out a helping of its own. Kicking things off is the iP29 portable speaker case, and stepping up the excitement level from zilch to one is the iP49 rechargeable audio system with alarm clock / FM radio for iPod and iPhone. Lastly, the iHMP5 two-in-one stereo speaker / headphone system enables users to listen in private or enter into "full speaker mode" for the posse to tune in. As with most everything else announced here at CES, pricing and availability have yet to be revealed.
