Awesome Ipod

Bose’s SoundDock 10 is designed to be an uber-iPhone/iPod player, and for $600 it’d better: it features a pair of Bose high/mid Twiddlers, 52″ of waveguide channels and a subwoofer.

Bowers & Wilkins’ Zeppelin Mini is a smaller version of its blimpy big bro with 36 W of power and a pair of 3″ drivers; it also features a direct to digital USB port and rotatable docking arm.

Most of 9/9/09’s fanfare focused on the video cam-packin’ Nano, but there was no missing their special edition Shuffle: it’s finished in stainless steel and only available in Apple stores.

Apple’s iPod Nano 5G may look like the 4G, but it’s a brand new beast with a cheaper price tag, a larger 2.2″ display, 640×480 video camera, pedometer, FM radio, mic and speaker.

Beyond the Nano, Apple’s other 9/9 news: iPod Touch gets up to 64 GB and Open GL, Classic gets 160 GB, Shuffle gets new colors, iTunes store gets tweaked and iPhone OS goes up to 3.1.

SendStation’s PocketDock is a godsend for those who carry proprietary adapters for their iPod; it provides a Mini USB that’ll work with standard chargers plus an extra 3.5 mm jack.

Sirius XM’s SkyDock is the first satellite radio dock for the iPhone/iPod Touch; it also charges via cigarette adapter and includes a free Sirius/XM app with iTunes download tagging.

Revo’s IKON is the world’s first color touchscreen digital radio with DAB, DAB+, FM and internet radio; it features a 3.5″ display, iPod/iPhone docking, and a 30 watt class D amplifier.

The boombox gets a new lease on life with these Retro iPod Speakers; good with everything from the Mini to the iPhone 3GS, they’re powered by your iPod and produce stereo sound.

iLuv’s iA15 adapter lets iPhone and iPod owners use their own headphones; it’s an in-line remote with built-in mic, VoiceOver support for shuffle and Voice Control for iPhone 3GS.

The 20W speakers and Wi-Fi streaming with DLNA-certified devices are noteworthy, but the most eyecatching feature on Sony’s Z200iR iPod Dock is its remote with 3.5″ LCD display.

Coming soon to the iPhone 3G/3GS and available for the iPod Touch, WildCharge recharges your gadgets via induction; you’ll need to purchase a skin and WildCharger Pad.

The Mini isn’t the newest kid on the block, but Josh D’s Wood iPod Mini gets a drool-worthy makeover; it’s made with Australian red cedar and a working Camphor Laurel clickwheel.

Apple’s iPod Shuffle might be stylish, but Scosche’s tapSTICK addresses UI issues with a three-button slide-on case; it mimics the controls found on the Shuffle’s headphones.

Belkin’s TuneBase line adds hands-free calling to its features; both models pipe music to your car stereo, via an auxiliary input with the TuneBase Direct or wirelessly with the TuneBase FM.

It won’t please all audiophiles, but along with a smoked glass design, the iHome iP1 iPod Dock uses Bongiovi audio processing and features a 100W amp, 4″ woofers and 1″ tweeters.
