Apple Cell Phones Speakers — 22 September 2011
dockBoss+ Makes Any Android Phone 30-pin Dock Compatible

Android users tend to snear at iPhone owners.  But it’s not superiority, it’s jealously, right?  After all, those with an iOS device are not only entitled to AirPlay tech as a defualt feature on their device, a more vast and robust app selection, but all the awesome speaker docks.  So why can’t Bose, iHome and Philips get on board with a compatible Android dock?  Probably because products such as the dockBoss+ already exist.

The the dockBoss+ connects not only Android phones, but any phone to any 30-pin dock.  A mini-USB port draws and transmits power to your device while a headphone jack transmits the audio.

Now you’re probably wondering why anyone would own a 30-pin dock if they have an Android device.  Aside from the greater likelihood of a family member or friend owning an Apple specific speaker dock, there is the possiblity that you might have owned an iOS device in a previous life.  No sense in throwing away a perfectly good speaker, right?

The dockBoss+ will go on sale on September 28th for $30.

This is the second iteration of the cable.  The dockBoss is currently on sale, but doesn’t include a mini-usb plug.
