SendStation's latest PocketDock is slightly larger than a penny, has much better audio quality than a dime
SendStation has impressed us before with its PocketDock line, back in 2007 releasing a tiny nub to suck audio, video, and even get a USB out from an iPod. The company's latest, the PocketDock Line Out Mini USB, is far smaller -- no bigger than Apple's own charging plug -- yet sports a Mini-USB port for charging and a non-powered 3.5mm line out that enables better quality tunes from your pod when connected to an amplified device. The kit even includes a set of tiny stereo RCA jacks that would like nothing better than to mount the front of your receiver. This latest PocketDock is available right now for $29.95 on the other end of that read link, and we're told they'll be showing up in Apple Stores, too. [Via SlashGear]
SendStation Dock Extender
Your Dock connector equipped iPod is probably one of your prized possessions. You don't want it to get all scratched up when you toss it in your bag, but who wants the hassle of taking it out of its case when you want to play your sweet jams via an iPod Hi-Fi? That's where the SendStation Dock Extender comes in.This little doohickey clicks onto your iPod's Dock Connector with a plug that has the same proportions as Apple's Dock cable. It extends the Dock connector so you can plug your iPod into any Dock Connector ready accessory without having to take it out of its case.The Dock Extender ships tomorrow for $28.95, which seems a little steep for me.Thanks, Justin.
SendStation announces PocketDock AV iPod adapter
Accessory-maker SendStation looks to be trying to extend its tentacles to as many devices as possible with its latest iPod adapter, tying together a variety of audio and video connectors with its PocketDock AV. As you can see above, you'll get your choice of S-Video or composite video, with the usual left and right audio jacks pumping out the tunes, and a USB plug conveniently provided for syncing or charging your iPod. Detach the iPock dock unit and you can also use the cable to hook your 15 or 17-inch PowerBook up to a TV for some big screen viewing. Look for this one to be available direct from SendStation early next month for $36.95.[Via Mobility Site]
SendStation's Dock Extender lets your iPod keep its clothes on
If the idea of breaking out the soldering iron just to extend your iPod dock connector a few inches doesn't sound appealing, the SendStation folks have a new hack-free Dock Extender product that should fill your needs without any of that nasty "work" stuff getting in the way. Unfortunately, the only purpose of this thing is to let you dock your iPod without removing its case -- a worthy cause, indeed, but not quite as exciting as the prospect of waving around a cable-attached iPod around willy nilly. No word on price or when SendStation will have this thing ready, but you can sign up for notification at their site, and it'll probably be hitting for $15-$20 if other products are any indication.[Thanks, JT]
