DLO HomeDock mini-review

I finally got my hands on a DLO HomeDock of my own,
thanks to the magical powers of the holidays. We've pointed to other reviews in the past, but I thought I'd offer my own mini review:

Positives:

• Docks and charges your iPod while connecting it to your TV/Stereo/Entertainment Center.
• Has a remote control.
• Controls music, volume, and playing and pausing of media nicely.
• Let's me watch Channel Frederator on my TV.
• RCA and S-Video outs with USB connection for docking with your computer and a power adapter for running the device and charging your iPod.
• It isn't ugly and my wife doesn't mind it sitting on top of the TV.

Negatives:

• At $99, this device is a little pricey, considering that you can attach your iPod to your TV with a $15 cable, and, assuming that the cable is long enough, you will have no need for the remote.
• You cannot rewind, fast forward, or select videos via the remote. Hitting fast forward or rewind takes you to a music track.
• No digital audio out.
• While music is playing, nothing shows on the TV (if you have it plugged into the TV).

Overall, I'm pleased with the device and give it a 7 out of 10 gerbils with Apple logos shaved into their fur. Check after the jump for some pics of the HomeDock in action.
