Priced at $149.99, this IPX7-certified boombox works just fine even when dunked in water -- the two 3-inch speakers will always float upwards to annoy fellow swimmers. There's no iPod dock connector here as the job's done using a 3.5mm jack inside the watertight compartment, but much like many iPhone headsets these days, you can use the buttons at the top to control music playback and volume on supported iPods or iPhones; whereas with other MP3 players you can only change the volume after flipping a switch.<br /> <br /> Additionally, the Eco Terra comes with an air pressure release valve to allow easy compartment access across different altitudes. We assume this means someone somewhere has a habit of blasting out music while trekking. Of course, you'll need to install four C batteries to get things started, and that'll keep you partying in the wild for around 25 hours -- long enough to play the Baywatch soundtrack CD about 23 times.

If not, what's the point, really? While we're sure that's not the main selling point with JVC's NX-BX3 home theater sound system with integrated stand, it's certainly an important one. The system features an FM tuner, SRS StudioSound HD and can also hold glasses or a flower vase on its top -- really, the sky the limit (plus some general weight restrictions, we'd imagine) when it comes to the things you can place on top of it. The dock arrives in Japan this month.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/01/jvcs-nx-bx3-is-an-ipod-dock-that-you-can-put-things-on-top-of/">JVC's NX-BX3 is an iPod dock that you can put things on top of</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:44:00 EST.

If you were waiting for a few more details about the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/20/aoc-reveals-iphone-compatible-e2343fi-monitor-boosts-your-dock/">e2343Fi</a>, AOC's monitor with a built-in iPhone dock, well today is your lucky day. Just in time for CES the company is taking the wraps off its HD monitor with 10-watt SRS Premium Sound speakers. The 23-inch 1080p panel rocks a 50,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, a 250 cd/m2 brightness and 5ms response time in a sleek 12.9mm-thick package. The Aire monitor won't actually hit the market until March, but when it does it'll carry a price tag of $280. Check the PR, with a full list of specs, after the break.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/06/aocs-iphone-dock-packing-aire-monitor-landing-in-march-for-280/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>AOC's iPhone dock-packing Aire monitor landing in March for $280</em></a></p><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/ces/" rel="tag">CES</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/06/aocs-iphone-dock-packing-aire-monitor-landing-in-march-for-280/">AOC's iPhone dock-packing Aire monitor landing in March for $280</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 06 Jan 2012 11:53:00 EST.

	Remember Pure's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/05/pure-launches-contour-one-flow-and-i-20-also-debuts-flowsongs/">Contour iPhone dock</a> / WiFi radio that debuted last year at CES? Between us, you and the wall, we suspect a sequel is on the way in the shape of the Contour 200i Air that's just been escorted out of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/FCC/">FCC's</a> underground bunker and dumped unceremoniously on a Washington highway. It's packing the same setup as this year's model, except now it's packing <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/airplay/">Airplay</a> chops for when you wanna stream music from your couch-based iDevice.

You can probably barely make it out in the image above, but there is actually an iPod touch mounted in that monstrosity. What you're looking at is the 8-foot wide, 4-foot tall, $30,000 iNuke Boom iPod dock from <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/behringer">Behringer</a>. At over 700 pounds and pumping out an inhumane 10,000 watts of deafening audio, the iNuke Boom is ready for its big public debut at the gadget circus that we call CES in January. We just hope that <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/08/visualized-when-backpacks-attack/">Everki</a> shows up with that giant backpack from 2010's expo so we can lug home a review unit. Behringer will also be unveiling around 50 new products under its new consumer electronics sub-brand, Eurosound. But, we know you really just want more of the world's loudest iPod dock (to go along with your <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/08/visualized-when-backpacks-attack/">World's Largest Backpack</a>) -- so head after the break for another pair of images and some PR.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/07/behringer-unveils-8-foot-inuke-boom-ipod-dock-goes-consumer-wit/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Behringer unveils 8-foot iNuke Boom iPod dock, goes consumer with Eurosound brand</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/07/behringer-unveils-8-foot-inuke-boom-ipod-dock-goes-consumer-wit/">Behringer unveils 8-foot iNuke Boom iPod dock, goes consumer with Eurosound brand</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 07 Dec 2011 11:20:00 EST.

The top area is hollow to keep your futuristic-looking iDevice from sticking out and ruining the illusion that you're living in 1964 (did you see the brown leather carrying strap?). Since it's been approved by the Government, we can only assume it's not long for these shores, and since it's a B&amp;O device, we can expect it to retail for four or five times what you'd expect to pay.</div><br />[Image courtesy <a href="http://blogs.amctv.com/photo-galleries/gallery-photography-for-mad-men-season-3/don.php">AMC TV</a>]<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/15/bang-and-olufsens-beolit-12-sends-the-fcc-a-little-bit-don-drap/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Bang &amp; Olufsen's Beolit 12 sends the FCC a little bit of Don Draper</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/15/bang-and-olufsens-beolit-12-sends-the-fcc-a-little-bit-don-drap/">Bang &amp; Olufsen's Beolit 12 sends the FCC a little bit of Don Draper</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 15 Nov 2011 16:44:00 EST.

We've seen a number of companies put a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/05/tdk-debuts-499-three-speaker-boombox/">modern</a> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/25/altec-lansing-mix-imt810-is-big-loud-desperately-seeking-ione/">spin</a> on the venerable <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/boombox">boombox</a>, but nothing quite like this new iP4 speaker dock from iHome. While it's unmistakingly a boombox, it looks more like a circa-1980s attempt to create a futuristic boombox than simply a modern boombox -- an unused prop from <em>Back to the Future II</em>, perhaps. It is decidedly modern when it comes to features, however, including a dock for your iPhone or iPod, an auxiliary input for your other devices, and a tiny remote. True to its boombox lineage, it can also be operated on six D cell batteries, and it even backs a five band graphic equalizer (updated slightly with an LCD display). Did we mention it's also available in pink? Look for this one to set you back $200.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/07/ihome-goes-retro-futurist-with-new-ip4-boombox-speaker-dock/">iHome goes retro futurist with new iP4 boombox speaker dock</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Mon, 07 Nov 2011 13:13:00 EST.

	If its past offerings have been any indicator, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Yamaha/">Yamaha's</a> no stranger to pumping out <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/26/yamaha-pdx-31-ipod-iphone-speaker-dock-too-sexy-for-your-90s/">attractive speaker docks</a> for iDevices. Not surprisingly, the company's managed to pour that design sense into its latest ruggedized portable system, the PDX-11. This octagonal unit features a 4-inch woofer and a 1 and 3/8-inch tweeter that can be powered by six AA-batteries, allowing for up to eight hours of on-the-go sound. Up top, you'll find a 30-pin connection base for your iPhone or iPod, and there's also a 3.5mm jack around back to play nice with other <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/PMP/">PMPs</a>. Notably, the speaker's metal carry handle and grill should keep it ready for a mild amount of city-slicking abuse -- and in a choice of blue, white, green or black, we'd imagine it'll look extra fresh doing so. To sweeten the deal further, a remote is included for extra control options. If you're ready to take your tunes to the outdoors, the PDX-11 is available now for a block rockin' hundred bucks. You'll find full details at the source link below.</div><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/01/yamahas-ruggedized-pdx-11-ipod-speaker-dock-lets-you-blast-beat/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Yamaha's ruggedized PDX-11 iPod speaker dock lets you blast beats beyond your block for $100</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/01/yamahas-ruggedized-pdx-11-ipod-speaker-dock-lets-you-blast-beat/">Yamaha's ruggedized PDX-11 iPod speaker dock lets you blast beats beyond your block for $100</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 01 Nov 2011 22:32:00 EST.

<a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/alteclansing">Altec Lansing</a> just debuted a pair of new portable speaker docks for the iPhone and iPod dubbed the iMT630 Classic (<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/04/altec-lansing-shows-off-an-ipod-dock-airplay-speaker-plus-head/">which we saw at IFA</a>) and Sport. What separates the two? The Classic comes in black, while the sport has options for teal and red (ooo... fancy). That's it. Otherwise they're the same units with a pull out connector and a compartment on the back that holds and conceals the remote when the stand is flipped up. Both docks also feature a rechargeable battery and the ability to interact with Altec's apps, like Alarm Rock and Music Mood. Both are shipping now for $150 but, before you go, check out the gallery below and the PR after the break, won't you?<br />

Sony's churned out plenty of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/sony-icf-cl75ip-alarm-clock-digital-frame-ipod-dock-a-surpri/">speaker docks</a> for the smaller iDevices out there, but until now, it hadn't given the largest Apple handheld any love. It's a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/03/altec-lansing-octiv-stage-450-review/">little late to the party</a>, but the company finally jumped on the iPad bandwagon with its latest RDP-X500iP speaker dock. Sporting a built in subwoofer, magnetic fluid speakers and Sony's Clear Phase DSP sonic technology, this little gem purportedly packs a pretty good bass punch while delivering quality audio. Picking one up will leave your wallet $300 lighter when it's released next month, and you can reserve yours now by getting in on the pre-order over on Sony's website.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/16/sony-unveils-300-rdp-x500ip-speaker-dock-gives-your-ipad-some/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Sony unveils $300 RDP-X500iP speaker dock, gives your iPad some sonic assistance</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/16/sony-unveils-300-rdp-x500ip-speaker-dock-gives-your-ipad-some/">Sony unveils $300 RDP-X500iP speaker dock, gives your iPad some sonic assistance</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 16 Sep 2011 04:40:00 EST.

Had your eye on an <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/06/philips-fidelio-ds3801w-another-ring-shaped-airplay-speaker-do/">AirPlay accessory</a> for your iPhone or iPod touch? Well, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/25/pioneer-appradio-hands-on/">Pioneer</a> is looking to help you pull the trigger on one. The company has announced a new set of AirPlay Music Tap systems that enable access to your music library without being chained to a peripheral. By connecting one of these bad boys to your home WiFi or ethernet network, you'll be able to access your entire iTunes library in various locations throughout your home -- 'course, having Apple's free Remote app will ensure maximum utility. Other features include a 2.5-inch full-color LCD display, Pandora, iHeartRadio, vTuner internet radio and Air Jam, which allows for playlist sharing on your arsenal of the company's Music Tap systems. When this pair drops in October, you'll have your choice of the X-SMC-3-S for $400 or the more dapper, bluetooth-enabled X-SMC4-Elite for $480. You can take a peek at the Elite, along with the full PR, after the break.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/12/airplay-enabled-music-tap-systems-touted-by-pioneer-free-us-fro/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>AirPlay-enabled Music Tap systems touted by Pioneer, free us from living room control</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/12/airplay-enabled-music-tap-systems-touted-by-pioneer-free-us-fro/">AirPlay-enabled Music Tap systems touted by Pioneer, free us from living room control</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Mon, 12 Sep 2011 02:03:00 EST.

	Okay, we admit it, we want one of these <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/AngryBirds/">Angry Birds</a> speaker docks from Gear4 seen on the floor of IFA here in Berlin. They're available in both iPod dock varieties (pigs) and as plug-and-play speakers (angry, angry birds). Both will begin shipping in the next few weeks in Europe and the US. The non-dock version should sell for around &euro;69. They'll likely hit the spot for those casual gamers who aren't getting enough of the irate fowl between their <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/11/angry-birds-gets-a-web-version-in-google-chrome/">web browser</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/19/roku-2-hd-xd-and-xs-officially-launch-same-price-smaller-siz/">set-top box</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/08/rooted-nook-wifi-loaded-with-angry-birds-soars-then-stalls-vid/">e-reader</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/02/life-size-angry-birds-comes-with-giant-slingshot-more-realistic/">university</a> and local <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/02/london-philharmonic-orchestra-goes-cover-band-with-tribute-to-vi/">Philharmonic</a>.<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/angry-birds-speakers/">Angry Birds Speakers</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/angry-birds-speakers/#4419312"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/09/angry-birds-speakersdsc1402gall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Angry Birds Speakers" title="Angry Birds Speakers" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/angry-birds-speakers/#4419313"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/09/angry-birds-speakersdsc1404gall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/angry-birds-speakers/#4419314"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/09/angry-birds-speakersdsc1405gall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/angry-birds-speakers/#4419315"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/09/angry-birds-speakersdsc1407gall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/angry-birds-speakers/#4419316"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/09/angry-birds-speakersdsc1408gall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div></div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/06/angry-birds-speakers-are-too-adorable-to-slingshot/">Angry Birds speakers are too adorable to slingshot</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 06 Sep 2011 22:02:00 EST.

<a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/revo">Revo's</a> K2 can pull in FM, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/dab">DAB</a> and DAB+ broadcasts, stream internet radio and tunes from <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/lastfm">Last.fm</a>. Not enough? Well you can hook up your iPod, iPhone or iPad too, and pull in music wirelessly from the library on you computer. It pumps out a total of 40-watts of "room-filling" audio using four drivers powered by a pair of Class-D amps. But let's be honest -- you want' it cause it's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/revos-retro-styled-heritage-radio-does-dab-wifi-and-casual-unb/">pretty</a>. The hidden-until-activated OLED screen, aluminum body, and black rubber accents are the real draw here. Sure the iOS remote apps and DLNA compatibility are nice to have, but this &pound;299.95 ($488) radio is all about drawing attention. The K2 is available for pre-order now and will start shipping on October 17th, while the Revo RadioControl app should land in iTunes around the same time. Check out the gallery below and the PR after the break.<br />

Summer's nearly here, the sun shining bright -- wouldn't you like to share your tunes with friends while basking in the light? That's what Eton's counting on as it prepares to ship the Soulra XL, the solar-powered iPod boombox <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/04/eton-mobius-charges-your-iphone-with-solar-power-eton-soulra-2/">formerly known as the Soulra 2</a>. As we discovered at CES in January, its set of eight speakers get pretty loud, and Eton claims it charges twice as fast <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/eton-sourla-ipod-sound-system-is-rugged-splash-proof-and-solar/">as its predecessor</a> (five hours) thanks to a sizable monocrystal solar panel, and lasts five hours on a charge. It'll juice your phone, too. All told, you'll be schlepping around seven pounds and paying $300 for the privilege of completely cordless mobile sound. Sound like a deal? You'll find Eton ready to shake your hand at our source link.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/08/etons-soulra-xl-solar-powered-ipod-boombox-will-cost-300-now/">Eton's Soulra XL solar-powered iPod boombox will cost $300, now ready for your pre-orders</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sun, 08 May 2011 05:08:00 EST.

It's no good plunking your precious <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/iphone">iPhone</a> into a little <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/ipod,dock">dock</a> that tries to skitter away from you. You need something with mass. Something with presence. Something like the AuraSound Sound Station, which offers an "audiophile-class acoustic design" in something a little less... dirigible-esque than <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/zeppelin,bw">other high-end docks</a> we've seen. It also sports a seven-inch touchscreen wedged in the middle there, enabling "unrivaled ease of use," also letting you play videos and things. AirPlay support appears to be missing, but the device is said to be upgradeable to make it a "living, learning machine" that can grow with you.

It's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/11/ask-engadget-hd-whats-the-best-mid-range-av-receiver/">been quite a while</a> since we checked in on the midrange receiver market, but our friend Simon's query has brought this crucial home theater component back to the forefront:<br />
<blockquote>
<div><em>"It's way past time for me to get a new receiver, my old one doesn't even have HDMI and I'm ready for a full audio upgrade. I don't want to break the bank and I figure I should be able to get something good for $500 - $600, but which one's the best? I do use my iPod so compatibility with that would be nice, and since I plan to have this one as long as I did the old one, it should probably be 3D ready and all of that stuff too. Any ideas?"</em></div>
</blockquote>Simple and to the point, there's plenty of brands and models out there to choose from and the 2010 market has been full of selections that meet his criteria. Let us know which one you prefer in the comments below.<br />

Hardcore <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Doctor+Who"><em>Doctor Who</em></a> fans might argue that the faulty chameleon circuit is to be blamed here, but really, this mini TARDIS is just a forthcoming <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/speakal">Speakal</a> iPod speaker dock that also doubles as a Bluetooth speaker and an IR remote control. As pictured above, the dock connector lies in a pull-out tray at the bottom-front of the device, with the stereo speaker drivers hidden behind the front windows. There's also a bass chamber inside the box, and we could see the opening through the back windows, along with the volume dial and power switch at the bottom. We were told that the final product will actually be slightly smaller than this prototype, and the lamp at the top will also have an IR emitter installed, which can control your TV via an iOS app (presumably via Bluetooth). Anyhow, expect to see this blue box on the shelves for around $130 to $150 come April.<br />

We've been dying to play with a third-party <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/airplay">AirPlay</a> speaker system ever since Apple opened the tech up, and iHome was happy to oblige here at CES with <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/10/ihomes-iw1-airplay-dock-gets-detailed/">the new iW1</a>. The wireless speaker system features two three-inch woofers and two one-inch tweeters with Bongiovi audio processing, a built-in lithium-ion battery with a grab-and-go charging base, and capacitive touch controls -- and, just as we suspected, AirPlay compatibility <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/09/is-bridgeco-the-foundation-for-made-for-airplay-apple-accessor/">courtesy of BridgeCo</a>. iHome's also developed a new iOS configuration app called iHome Connect that'll help you get the iW1 on your WiFi network quickly, although regular WPS setup is also supported. You can also charge your iPhone or iPod by plugging into the USB port in the back -- iHome is packing a cable in the box.<br />
<br />
Streaming from iOS was just as simple as with the Apple TV or Airport Express, and we only saw minimal lag between control inputs like volume and track changes, just as with an all-Apple setup. Interestingly, iOS only supports point-to-point AirPlay streaming right now, so you can only use a single speaker at a time, but if you're streaming from iTunes you can hit multiple speakers at once, regardless of vendor. iHome is still tuning the audio performance, so we'll reserve judgment on that until we get a review unit -- which should happen when this guy ships for $300 in Summer 2011. Video after the break.<br />

We haven't heard much about Sony's HomeShare wireless networking protocol since the initial buzz in <a href="http://hd.engadget.com/2008/09/03/sonys-homeshare-multi-room-entertainment-solution-spreads-hd-ov/">2008</a>, but based on today's announcements, it's fairly clear that Sony intends to ramp things up in 2011. The SA-NS300 and SA-NS400 are two new wireless network speakers designed to broadcast tunes from a variety of sources such as DLNA-enabled PCs or BRAVIA internet music services found on Sony's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/05/new-sony-blu-ray-players-are-faster-than-ever-theres-even-a-po/">latest Blu-ray players</a>. iPhones and iPods can join in on the streaming fun when placed in HomeShare compatible NAS-SV20i and NAC-SV10i docks. Since all of these components go beyond the realm of your average IR controller, Sony has kindly released the HomeShare-friendly touch screen RMN-U1 Wi-Fi universal remote, too. Using its activity-based control options, the remote allows those invested in the HomeShare system to send music throughout their network and a view a variety of eye-candy -- you know, like album art. Even more interesting is that Sony says all of the components will be available this March for between $200 and $300 depending on the device, which is far below the four figure price points of its early HomeShare gear. For more details, hit up the press release below. <br />

Klipsch managed to unveil a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/20/exclusive-klipsch-introduces-iphone-friendly-image-x10i-and-bla/">black-and-white version</a> of its high-end Image X10i earbuds as well as something referred to as a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/klipsch-lightspeaker-makes-whole-home-audio-as-simple-as-screwin/">LightSpeaker</a> at last CES, and this year they're doing the inevitable: unveiling a trio of iDevice-friendly sound systems. All a part of the new Gallery series, the Studio, Forum and Arena are all making their debut tonight in Vegas. Each of these units are <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/AirPlay/">AirPlay</a> certified, meaning that each one will wirelessly ingest smooth jams and fusion metal from a nearby iTunes library. The Studio and Forum each have slots along the front edge where you can rest your iPhone / iPod / iPad, while the high-end Arena actually has a 30-pin Dock Connector port as well as a video output. The unit's the company had on display this evening were far from being production quality, but the overall design was nice, if not a touch understated. To remedy that on the Studio, the outfit plans to offer well over a dozen faceplates with various graphics -- if sales are strong, we're told that it could create similar plates for the higher-end siblings.<br />

To go along with those, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/25/klipsch-headquarters-walkthrough-behind-the-scenes-and-between/">Klipsch</a> also unveiled a trifecta of slim, passive speakers: the G-12, G16, G-28 and G-42. These range from $299 to $599 per speaker, and are obviously aimed at the more affluent crowd. One thing of note -- the backs of these speakers have clever cutouts along the bottom and rear, enabling you to better manage your wires. Yeah, <em>wires</em>. These units definitely aren't wireless, but here's hoping for 2012, right? As for the iPod sound systems? Those are slated to ship in Q2 or Q3 with prices set for $399 (Studio), $599 (Forum) and $799 (Arena).<br />

It's a heavy day at <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/CES/">CES</a>, and it's also a big day for the folks at <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Pure/">Pure</a>. Not only have they provided an updated release time table for the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/20/pure-sensia-dab-wifi-radio-gains-touchscreen-streaming-and-fa/">Sensia</a> ("later in 2011" for an unknown amount) and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/pure-oasis-sensia-and-sirocco-550-internet-radios-hands-on/">Sirocco 550</a> (March for $499), but it's also branching out with a few unexpected launches. In order to get even more tunes to the outfit's blossoming line of WiFi radios, Pure has revealed its FlowSongs cloud-based music service -- put simply, it enables consumers to buy music directly from their radio and Pure's Lounge iPhone app. Users are instructed to 'Like' songs on FM or internet radio, and then within the same interface, they're able to click 'Buy' while simultaneously scratching that Instant Gratification itch. Customers can download high-quality versions of the MP3 onto their Mac and PC, and it'll work on any Flow radio. Currently, the service is expected to launch as a public beta in North America this spring, with individual tracks priced between $0.99 and $1.49 depending on the publisher. Unfortunately, there's a $5.99 yearly subscription to actually <em>use</em> FlowSongs, which all but guarantees failure in a world where $1.49 tracks feel too pricey on their own. <br />
<br />
Moving on, the company is also dishing out a few hardware announcements. Up first is the Contour (shown above), an iPod / iPhone-friendly WiFi radio that touts a black crescent shape (not too unlike <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/06/meridian-launches-m80-high-end-compact-entertainment-system-we/">Meridian's M80</a>), touch-sensitive controls and a trio of video outputs (composite, component and S-Video). The One Flow ($149) is about as basic as it gets, rocking a truly retro motif, a 3.5mm auxiliary input and a pair of alarms. Wrapping things up, there's the i-20, which is hailed as the only digital iPod dock available that supports component, S-Video <em>and</em> composite outputs. In a nutshell, it's a video output stand for your iPod or iPhone, which may or may not be worth the $99 asking price. Head on past the break for specifics on availability, and tap that source link once your credit card is ready.<br />

You'll be forgiven for being a little misty on who exactly <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/27/orbitsound-rolls-out-tube-based-t6-ipod-dock/">Orbitsound</a> is -- the British company has only sold its <a href="http://hd.engadget.com/2008/06/22/orbitsound-shows-off-t12-stereo-soundbar-subwoofer-combo/">T12 soundbar</a> in the domestic market -- but today it's reminding everyone of its presence with a brand new product for <a href="http://www.engadget.com/all/ces2011">CES</a>-goers in the T14 you see above. The company's patented "<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/front-rendered-surround-sound-is-not-a-gimmick/">spatial stereo</a>" sound is still the big selling point, promising a revolutionary aural experience that eliminates the need to occupy the traditional sweet spot for enjoying stereo sound. That's achieved via six 2.5-inch drivers and a studio-class amp that "senses" surrounding acoustic conditions and calibrates output for best results. A bold claim, to be sure, but you'd expect no less for something that will cost $600 when it becomes Orbitsound's first global launch later this year. Wireless technology is also put to good use, with the T14 communicating through the air with its accompanying subwoofer and wireless iPod / iPhone dock. We'll be tracking one down while here in Vegas and trying to figure out just how spaced out its sound really is.<br />

Back in March 2009 at the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/17/live-from-apples-iphone-os-3-0-preview-event/">iPhone OS 3.0 debut event</a>, Apple's Scott Forstall pointed out medical devices specifically as one of the more interesting class of peripherals that could leverage the new custom app interface capabilities. And while it's certainly an interesting concept -- keeping tabs on your general health from the comfort of your own home -- we haven't really seen it catch on (only a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/21/sanofi-aventis-debuts-ibgstar-blood-glucose-meter-for-iphone/">couple</a> of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/23/ion-personal-genome-machine-the-dna-sequencer-with-an-ipod-dock/">products</a> come to mind). That isn't stopping iHealth; the company's blood pressure dock, available today from its online store (we're told it should be filtering through Apple's own channels later this month) ties in with a specialized iPhone / iPod touch / iPad app to monitor and track blood pressure from the comfort of your home, where theoretically there shouldn't be a stranger in a white coat making you extra nervous. In our brief time with the device, the interface seemed fairly intuitive and the whole process simple and not at all intimidating. The cost of entry is $99.95 for the hardware; the free app should be hitting iTunes today. Press release after the break.<br />

In addition to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/04/iomega-tv-with-boxee-chooses-function-over-form-packs-in-a-hard/">Boxee-addled media devices</a> and the customary run of new storage solutions, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Iomega/">Iomega</a>'s got its own take on the iPod dock to show off. The SuperHero can back up photos and contacts from your iPhone (3G model and up) and iPod touch (second-gen and up) to an SD card -- no apps or music, unfortunately, due to restrictions in the API. The associated app pops up automatically when you slot in the device, and there's a few options for fine-tuning what exactly gets saved. A smart idea, but it'd be nice if we had more output options like audio (for an elegant stereo solution) or USB (just in case you did have a computer handy, with or without iTunes). SuperHero'll set you back $69.99 and comes bundled with a 4GB SDHC card, but more importantly, there's an amusing video ad to see. It's after the break.<br />

We're still struggling to find the speakers on this thing, but Life Technologies' new Ion Personal Genome Machine does at least have one big advantage over most other iPod docks: it's... a <em>personal genome machine</em>. Curiously, the company itself isn't doesn't seem to be talking up the iPod dock at all, but <em>MedGadget</em> reports that it can be used to explore a genome and check on the status of given sequencing run with either an iPhone or iPod touch. As for the device itself, while it's still only designed for research use and "not intended for animal or human therapeutic or diagnostic use," the company does have some pretty grand designs for the future. According to Ion Torrent founder Dr. Jonathan M. Rothberg, the company hopes to eventually do nothing short of doing for DNA sequencing what digital cameras did for photography. Head on past the break for the complete press release.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/23/ion-personal-genome-machine-the-dna-sequencer-with-an-ipod-dock/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Ion Personal Genome Machine: the DNA sequencer with an iPod dock</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/23/ion-personal-genome-machine-the-dna-sequencer-with-an-ipod-dock/">Ion Personal Genome Machine: the DNA sequencer with an iPod dock</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 23 Dec 2010 01:11:00 EST.

You have to go to great lengths these days to distinguish your iPod dock from <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/ipod+dock">the teeming horde</a>, but that's exactly what Speakal did here. To state the obvious, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/speakals-ipig-speaker-system-rolls-in-the-mud-with-your-ipod/">it's a pig</a>, wearing sunglasses, and filled with stereo components. The beast has four-watt stereo drivers for eyes, a down-firing 15 watt subwoofer in the belly, controls in the snout, and ports in the tail region. There's also an internal lithium ion battery good for up to eight untethered hours on a charge. We're not sure what would possess you to buy the hog, especially for its $150 asking price, but it could be just the item you've been looking for to bolster your eccentric reputation... or ward off particularly annoyed fowl.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/12/speakals-cool-ipig-blasts-ipod-tunes-with-extra-badassitude/">Speakal's Cool iPig blasts iPod tunes with extra badassitude</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sun, 12 Dec 2010 12:52:00 EST.

We can't say we've ever dreamt of a pico projector / speaker dock combo, but we also can't say the idea doesn't make a bit of sense. Continuing its expansion into the projector space with its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/cinemin">Cinemin sub-brand</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/wowwee">WowWee</a>'s Slice is much more than your usual unitasking pico -- it packs six-watt stereo speakers along with a 854 x 480 resolution, 16 lumens DLP projector. As you can see, it's been designed for your choice of Apple products -- its 30-pin connector is compatible with the iPad, iPhone 3G/3GS/4, etc. -- but the back of the device <em>does</em> hold additional VGA, mini-HDMI and AV ports for hooking up whatever other gadget you've been dying to project on a wall. Speaking of that projection, the maximum image size is 60 inches, though you'll have to set it back quite a bit from the projected surface to achieve that viewing size -- WowWee says the viewable range is anywhere between 11 to 125 inches. We caught a look at the Slice at the CES Press Preview event in NYC, and have to say it's not a bad looking dock -- the glowing red LED buttons give it some pizzazz. Obviously, it was hard for us to judge the image and sound quality from the brief look, but we were able to hear <em>Bolt</em> over the event background noise if that counts for anything. The Slice will be priced around $400 but won't be hitting stores until January -- until then you've got the pictures in the gallery below and some more tech specs at the source link. <div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/wowwee-cinemin-slice-hands-on-0/">WowWee Cinemin Slice hands-on</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/wowwee-cinemin-slice-hands-on-0/#3558256"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/11/cineminslice1-1289406217_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/wowwee-cinemin-slice-hands-on-0/#3558257"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/11/cineminslice2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/wowwee-cinemin-slice-hands-on-0/#3558258"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/11/cineminslice3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/wowwee-cinemin-slice-hands-on-0/#3558259"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/11/cineminslice4_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/wowwee-cinemin-slice-hands-on-0/#3558260"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/11/cineminslice5_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/10/wowwee-cinemin-slice-takes-the-pico-out-of-your-pocket/">WowWee Cinemin Slice takes the pico out of your pocket</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 10 Nov 2010 22:17:00 EST.

We're all expecting <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/10/ios-4-2-coming-friday-with-itunes-and-mac-os-x-updates-sans-air/">iOS 4.2 to hit sometime this week</a> and bring <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/airplay">AirPlay streaming</a> with it, and it looks like iHome is getting prepared -- the company just updated its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/03/ihome-teases-first-airplay-compatible-portable-speaker-dock/">AirPlay speaker dock</a> page with more info. The iW1, as it's been named, is much slicker than its minimalist looks would suggest: the portable speaker system features a built-in lithium-ion battery with an <strike>inductive</strike> charging base so you can just grab and go, Bongiovi Acoustics audio, capacitive touch controls and support for iHome's iOS configuration apps, and a USB port for charging and local audio playback. Oh, and it can stream music from iOS devices and iTunes using AirPlay, of course. Sadly, there's still no price or ship date, but if this thing is priced anywhere close to earth we'd say the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/sonoss5">Sonos S5</a> has got itself some serious competition.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/10/ihomes-iw1-airplay-dock-gets-detailed/">iHome's iW1 AirPlay dock gets detailed</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 10 Nov 2010 17:27:00 EST.

iPod and iPhone users aren't exactly bereft of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/all/ipoddock">choice</a> for places to dock their audio transporters, but what if you prefer to keep your music collection on your iPad? Okay, actually there are a couple of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/all/ipaddock">options</a> for you out there as well, but few will be quite as bodacious (or as expensive, we're sure) as Bang &amp; Olufsen's latest. The <a href="http://www.engadget.com/all/beosound">BeoSound</a> 8 straps a pair of cones to a connecting bar, adds some feet, a wall bracket, and a remote control, and sends you home to enjoy some "outstanding sound performance." USB and auxiliary line-in connectors are available if you're not dancing to Steve Jobs' tune, while the body can be had in white or black and the speaker covers come in a variety of colors to express your individuality with. Look for the BeoSound 8 at your nearest B&amp;O outlet later this month.<br />

If you frequent small house parties like us, chances are you would've witnessed the many occasions where guests take turns to hook up their iDevices to the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/iPodsoundsystem/">speakers</a>; if not, just picture yourself fighting your flatmates over your communal HiFi system -- <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/altec+lansing">Altec Lansing</a> claims that on average there are 2.2 portable audio devices per household, and they're most likely <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/ipod">iPods</a>. Naturally, a dual-docking speaker -- which is nothing new -- would somewhat ease domestic tension and reduce interruption to the tunes, but think smarter: what if you could let music alternate between the devices, as well as having the ability to instantly change the amount of play time on both persons' music libraries? Better yet, what if the speaker doubles up as an alarm clock? These are pretty much what Altec's offering with its $99.95 Octiv Duo (or Octiv 202 outside the US), with a little help from its two free <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/iOS">iOS</a> apps: Music Mix and Alarm Rock. You know the drill -- read on to find out whether this new box would end your little social crisis once and for all.<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/altec-lansing-octiv-202-speaker-dock-review/">Altec Lansing Octiv Duo speaker dock review</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/altec-lansing-octiv-202-speaker-dock-review/#3468464"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/octiv2022010-10-13_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/altec-lansing-octiv-202-speaker-dock-review/#3468465"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/octiv2022010-10-14-0_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/altec-lansing-octiv-202-speaker-dock-review/#3468466"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/octiv2022010-10-14-1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/altec-lansing-octiv-202-speaker-dock-review/#3468467"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/octiv2022010-10-14-2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/altec-lansing-octiv-202-speaker-dock-review/#3468468"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/octiv2022010-10-14-3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/01/altec-lansing-octiv-duo-202-speaker-dock-review/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Altec Lansing Octiv Duo (202) speaker dock review</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/01/altec-lansing-octiv-duo-202-speaker-dock-review/">Altec Lansing Octiv Duo (202) speaker dock review</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Mon, 01 Nov 2010 17:22:00 EST.

Took 'em long enough, huh? iHome's iA100 was actually <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ihome-ia100ze-ipad-alarm-dock-raises-questions-supplies-few-ans/">introduced</a> way back in July, and at the time, it was essentially the only iPad-friendly home stereo system on the planet. Now, iHome has a bit of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/02/philips-fidelio-ds8550-ipad-speaker-dock-hands-on/">friendly competition</a> out there, but at least it's getting this guy out on store shelves long before the holiday shopping season hits full swing. For those who missed it the first go 'round, this here docking system touts Bongiovi Acoustics' DPS technology, an inbuilt alarm clock, Bluetooth and support for the iPad, iPhone and iPod via a 30-pin Dock Connector. Too bad it'll set you back a full $199.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/20/ihomes-ia100-ipad-stereo-speaker-system-now-on-sale-for-199/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>iHome's iA100 iPad stereo speaker system now on sale for $199</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/20/ihomes-ia100-ipad-stereo-speaker-system-now-on-sale-for-199/">iHome's iA100 iPad stereo speaker system now on sale for $199</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 20 Oct 2010 03:06:00 EST.

We're guessing that we'll be seeing these <a href="http://engadget.com/tag/ipod+sound+system">iPod sound systems</a> at the bottom of our Lucky Charms boxes next year, but JBL's trying to milk things while it still can. The company has just unleashed a new pair of iPod / iPhone-compatible sound systems, the On Stage IV and On Stage Micro III. Strangely enough, they look fairly identical, but the latter just so happens to be the more portable of the two (shocker!). The new duo sports a unique twisted base, with the On Stage IV housing four Odyssey transducers and having the ability to operate on a six-pack of AA batteries; the smaller Micro III uses just two Odyssey transducers, but it can pump out the jams for 24 hours on just four AAA batteries. Each one ships with an IR remote, touch volume controls and a built-in stereo mini-jack input for connecting those <i>other</i> PMPs you've got sitting around. The On Stage IV is expected to ship soon for $179.95, while the little guy goes for $119.95.<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/jbl-on-stage-iv-and-on-stage-micro-iii-ipod-sound-docks/">JBL On Stage IV and On Stage Micro III iPod sound docks</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/jbl-on-stage-iv-and-on-stage-micro-iii-ipod-sound-docks/#3462320"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/jbl-on-stage-201010_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/jbl-on-stage-iv-and-on-stage-micro-iii-ipod-sound-docks/#3462321"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/jbl-on-stage-20109_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/jbl-on-stage-iv-and-on-stage-micro-iii-ipod-sound-docks/#3462322"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/jbl-on-stage-20108_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/jbl-on-stage-iv-and-on-stage-micro-iii-ipod-sound-docks/#3462323"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/jbl-on-stage-20107_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/jbl-on-stage-iv-and-on-stage-micro-iii-ipod-sound-docks/#3462324"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/jbl-on-stage-20106_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/13/jbl-brings-the-twist-to-on-stage-iv-and-on-stage-micro-iii-ipod/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>JBL brings the twist to On Stage IV and On Stage Micro III iPod sound docks</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/13/jbl-brings-the-twist-to-on-stage-iv-and-on-stage-micro-iii-ipod/">JBL brings the twist to On Stage IV and On Stage Micro III iPod sound docks</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 13 Oct 2010 09:21:00 EST.

If you're the sort who fancies a digital picture frame and a stereo dock for your iPhone, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Panasonic/">Panasonic</a>'s new MW-20 might just be the thing to converge and satiate those needs. The 9-inch frame can display pictures via SD card, 2GB internal memory, or an iPhone / iPod touch via the bundled dock -- and if you've got the device connected, you can also play music video via the frame's internal stereo speakers (there's no indication of any audio out for using your own speaker system, however). Additionally, the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/panasonic-debuts-mw-10-photo-frame-ipod-dock-sound-system/">MW-10 successor</a> has a touted 15 different display patterns, including some calendar and clock functionality. Pictures taken with a Lumix camera? The MW-20 has a function that'll group photos by style (i.e. all nighttime scenery). Look for it during your haze of Christmas shopping in late November for -- and here's the part that's gonna sting -- just one dollar shy of $250. Don't say we didn't warn you. Scenes from the CEATEC show floor below. <div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/panasonic-mw-20-hands-on/">Panasonic MW-20 hands-on</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/panasonic-mw-20-hands-on/#3440389"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/mw20-ceatec-hands-dsc0367-rm-eng_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/panasonic-mw-20-hands-on/#3440390"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/mw20-ceatec-hands-dsc0368-rm-eng_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/panasonic-mw-20-hands-on/#3440391"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/mw20-ceatec-hands-dsc0369-rm-eng_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/panasonic-mw-20-hands-on/#3440392"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/mw20-ceatec-hands-dsc0370-rm-eng_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/panasonic-mw-20-hands-on/#3440393"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/10/mw20-ceatec-hands-dsc0372-rm-eng_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/06/panasonic-mw-20-is-a-digital-photo-frame-iphone-ipod-touch-st/">Panasonic MW-20 is a digital photo frame, iPhone / iPod touch stereo, and money burner all in one</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 06 Oct 2010 11:49:00 EST.

Were you jealous of Japanese commuters getting to ignore their car's multichannel audio system in favor of a bright, 16-watt thermos of beats<em> </em>in their cup holder? Then today's your lucky day, because Audiocubes.com has brought Sony Japan's SRS-V500IP -- which is the iPod friendly version of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/sony-walkman-rdp-nwv500-soundmug-fits-your-cars-cupholder-look/">RDP-NWV500</a> sound mug -- state-side. Like the NWV500, it's also available in colors of black, orange, and happiness-inspiring pink, and packs the same Circle Sound Stage speaker system for a full 360 degrees of tuneage. If you don't own an iPod, a 3.5mm audio jack is thrown in to connect other devices like Sony's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/16/video-sony-walkman-s640-and-s740-arrive-in-technicolor/">S740 Walkmen</a> -- double the imported Japanese audio gear, double the Cool Person Points, right? Currently priced at $240, its U.S. availability still doesn't really clarify its practicality. Especially when you consider that your new shiny <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/07/ipod-nano-review-2010/">iPod Nano's</a> color scheme won't even match!<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/26/sonys-boom-beverage-speaker-now-available-as-american-cup-holde/">Sony's boom beverage speaker now available as American cup holder surrogate</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sun, 26 Sep 2010 22:44:00 EST.

What you have pictured here is the latest Sonos music device. In person the Sonos Wireless Dock is exactly what you were thinking <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/23/sonos-wireless-dock-for-ipod-and-iphone-launched-at-gdgt-party/">when you read the press release yesterday</a>. The demo unit had a special Sonos branded half case that left the bottom unaltered, because like many other docks, the cases get in the way of proper docking. The dock does accept the standard iPod dock inserts, so maybe there's still hope that a case manufacturer will ship it with a special insert made with the intent to simplify the life of one who like to use both an iPod case, and a dock together.

See anything new in that picture Sonos fans? If you look closely, you'll spot some new Sonos Wireless Docks on the table. The scene is last night's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/01/peter-rojas-and-ryan-block-launch-gdgt-the-swiss-army-knife-o/">gdgt</a> party in Boston. The device is the WD100 that streams the music collection stored on your docked iPod / iPhone throughout your Sonos multi-room music system. Look for it launch at the end of October for $119. With any luck, we'll be hands-on with it later today.

You're sick of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/ipoddock">audio docks</a>, we know. So are we. But as much as we wanted to skip merrily along beyond <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/logitech-s715i-rechargeable-ipod-iphone-speaker-unleashes-next/">Logitech's S715i</a> set, we couldn't help but note that it's something of a rarity. Whereas most other iDevice speakers tend to keep themselves safely tethered to the nearest wall plug, this unit claims it can get an ambitious eight hours of music playback from its battery, while boasting a whopping eight drivers (two rear-firing ones <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/logitech-s715i-rechargeable-speaker-hands-on/#3371855">on the back</a>) in total, including a pair of "laser-tuned" neodymium 3-inchers for midrange delivery. We could hardly gauge audio quality in our noisy environment, but we'll say this much: Logitech isn't fooling around with the <em>volume</em> the S715i can put out. Even our video after the break doesn't do justice to the surprising roar you can generate from this otherwise compact package. <br />
<br />
A standard 3.5mm audio input will let you stray outside of the Apple product family if you wish, and there's a bundled remote too. Yet, in spite of all these goodies, we still can't recommend this as a sage purchase at Logitech's lofty $150 price. Don't get us wrong, the S715i looks neat, just not <em>that</em> neat. We also managed to grab a few images of its family mate, the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/01/logitech-takes-its-wireless-z515-and-tethered-z305-speakers-on-t/">Z515</a> Bluetooth speaker, which similarly rolls on its own power (for up to 10 hours, it's claimed) and captures tunes from your nearest Bluetooth-equipped device. It's another well built and easily portable little thing, priced at <strike>$60</strike> $100 by Logitech.<br />

It's not every day our interest is piqued by an iPhone / iPod speaker dock, but when the folks at Audyssey told us they were entering the space with their new South of Market Edition, our ears perked up. You're probably familiar with Audyssey if you're into home theater at all -- the company's automatic EQ system is in <a href="http://hd.engadget.com/tag/audyssey">all sorts of receivers</a> -- and the SOM dock promises the same sort of tuned audio performance you'd expect from the company. It also offers a little twist: you can pair your phone or computer via Bluetooth for both streaming music and making speakerphone calls with the built-in mic. Neat -- although at $399 it's definitely pricey.<br />
<br />
We spent a few minutes playing with a review sample, and it certainly does what's promised, although we were told our voices sounded quite muddled when we made a speakerphone call. Music-wise, the SOM gets quite loud and the two large bass drivers certainly offered plenty of punch; audio quality over Bluetooth was definitely passable, and we managed a pretty respectable 30-foot line-of-sight range when streaming music, although plugging directly in definitely improved the sound. Of course, spending $399 on a Bluetooth speaker dock for your iPhone right now when <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/airplay">AirPlay</a>-compatible devices are right around the corner definitely seems like a bad idea, but if you're just looking for an attractive and great-sounding speaker dock to charge your iPhone in the office and you can swing the price, the SOM is well worth a look. More images in the gallery and PR after the break.<br />

No surprise that <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/ihome">iHome</a> is first out of the gate with a speaker dock that's compatible with Apple's newly-open <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/airplay">AirPlay</a> music streaming system, but unfortunately the teaser page is maddeningly light on details -- all we know is that it'll have a rechargeable battery and be available for the holidays. We're actually pretty stoked for AirPlay gear -- the idea of setting up a quick mix-and-match whole-home audio system that can stream lossless audio straight from iTunes seems awfully hard to resist -- so we're eager to hear more about this thing, as well as the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/01/apples-airplay-music-streaming-coming-to-third-party-speaker-do/">other third-party AirPlay devices</a> like receivers and stereos that have been promised. We'll keep digging for more, so stay tuned.<br />
