Onkyo seeks iPod for discrete remote interactive port sharing

Own an Onkyo AV amp and an iPod? Prepare the two for some conjugal bliss. The Japanese company is partnering with Apple to develop a docking station and control unit that'll allow you to control your iPod via Onkyo remote controls.
One cable weds docking station to RI port, and two phono cables handle sound output to the Onkyo's tape deck input. The bad news (isn't there always some bad news?) is, you won't be able to gander at the iPod's track lists via the Onkyo amp display until they upgrade the system next year. Until then, consider this yet another creative way to
convert your regular iPod into an iPod shuffle.
