Possibly looking pretty swank at your alpine lodge time share, the Maxell MXSP-D240 will hopefully be banging enough to get the party going as well.  Available in white or black, the MXSP-D240 is Japan only right now and goes on sale at the end of the month.

The MXSP-D240 is compatible with most iPod models and comes with a remote control.  Thanks to a balanced horn structure to radiate sound energy efficiently, this speaker dock could be worth looking into.  With so many speaker docks to choose from these days it’s nice to see one that actually sticks out visually.  Priced at around $112

While I’m not so sure on the design aesthetic, the Chinon Avi is a techy eye catcher nonetheless.  It features a 7-inch LCD monitor with a built in TV tuner, a clock, a radio, iPod dock, remote and the typical iPod controls.  All this can be yours this holiday season for $200.

Although I’ve never heard of this brand before, it’s nice to see a product that combines all this cool stuff into one boombox sized package. …Continue reading: Chinon AVi-An iPod Dock With A Clock, Radio, And LCD TV Tuner (video)

Last month Yamaha unveiled their first yAired device and yesterday the company issued the second desktop stereo to include the technology, the MCR-140.  If you missed it, yAired is a wireless dock for your iPod or iPhone that transmits the player’s audio back to the stereo sans wires.

This particular stereo, which is also available without the yAired tech (MCR-040), includes an optional wireless subwoofer, CD player, AM/FM radio, front USB port and a top mounted iPod dock.  Available in ten different Skittle like colors, both system include a set of “highly responsive 4 –inch speakers” that are said to produce “dynamic bass response for powerful, clean sound from any music library”.

They MCR-140 should be on sale now for $399.95, or $279.95 if you opt for the lesser of the two. …Continue reading: Yamaha MCR-140 Desktop Stereo Includes Their yAired Wire Free iPod Dock

There’s more than a fair share of iPhone battery backups on the market, but PhoneSuit’s latest, the Primo micro battery pack is jumping out at me.  Unlike other micro battery packs (except Griffin’s), this one has 3 LED lights to indicate charge and can provide up to 3 hours additional talk time to your iPhone or 25 additional hours of audio for your iPod touch.  It’s certified to work with all 30-pin dock infused Apple devices and sells for $35.

In what appears to be a product I’ve never seen the likes of, the Sparkz Projector Dock is a fresh and pricey new addition to aftermarket iPhone accessories.  The built-in pico projector accepts a variety of A/V and VGA inputs and is capable of displaying 640 x 480 resolutions at up to 60 inches.  Snaps.

There’s also some little stereo speakers attached but I can’t imagine them doing much banging.  The dock also charges your iPhone and it comes with a tri-pod.  At a $495 price tag, early adopters will want to make sure this is a quality product.  Maybe the video below will help.

In America, there’s nothing quite like a good value.  I went to Burger King the other day because they had a $1 Double Cheeseburger.  It was quite a value as I had two.  This little iPod speaker from the Container Store is only $10.  What would make it a value?

For me, I don’t quite like how the speaker is facing backwards.  Other than that it looks OK.  Using four AAA batteries for power, I wonder how loud it gets, as lack of volume is generally the biggest downfall to speakers of this size.

It could be decent for some indoor situations, like a customer service call center cubicle during break time, but I can’t see this thing being of much “value” outdoors.

Okay, admittedly, sometimes you really want just the right skin for your iPhone or iPod.  Your skin says a lot about who you are, how you feel about stuff, and junk.  And of course, you definitely want the coolest one you can find.  And maybe you can’t find a skin with your favorite supermodel on it, or with a sharp enough resolution image of the Klingon Empire’s sigil.

Now, you can make your own.  Thanks to the iaPeel (like eye appeal, only Apple style) you can print off gadget skins for your Apple portables in whatever format you want.

The iaPeel kit will set you back a mere $21, and comes with some basic design software and five skins that’ll work with your inkjet printer of choice.  Plus, you can make your Apple gear into total clotheshorses and make multiple skins, for different occasions or even days of the week.  Imagine the fun you’ll have with your friends when you whip out your iPhone and say, “This is my Thursday skin.”

Of course, if you actually do try that, you may not have friends much longer….

What would probably look cooler in an actual booth at a Hard Rock Cafe than at your place, this cheapo “Limited Edition” iPod dock could make a decent gift idea for that certain nostalgia freak in your family.

At only $15, I can’t imagine the sound quality to be anything of value, but it is cheap enough to buy for your bathroom or walk-in closet.  Especially if you like the included digital FM tuner.  Also featuring a line-in for CD and MP3 players, it will also run off of 4 AA batteries or a wall plug.

Limited Edition always denotes a “Buy Now” type of attitude so don’t hesitate!
