Sony rounds out its iPod dock offerings with three new models

We already caught sight of Sony’s ZS-S4iP iPod dock / boombox when it turned up in Australia, but it looks like there’s a few more Made for iPod devices where that one came from, with Sony now also debuting three more docks of various sorts. That includes the clock radio-style ICF-CD3iPSIL model pictured above, the HD Radio-packing XDR-S10HDiP (after the break), and the plain-old SRS-GU10IP (also after the break), which provides one big speaker and nothing else. From the looks of it, the XDR-S10HDiP and SRS-GU10UP are both available right now direct from Sony and will set you back $180 and $150, respectively, while the ICF-CD3iPSIL will only be available at the end of the month, though you can get a pre-order in now for $100.

Gorenje debuts Made for iPod fridge

September 1st, 2008 by

Filed under: ,

It may not be ensconced in Swarovski crystals like some of its other fridges, but Gorenje seems to think it has a winner on its hands with its new Made for iPod fridge, which it says will conquer contemporary kitchens just as “iPod has conquered the world.” Apparently designed specifically for what Gorenje describes as the “the cult iPod touch,” the fridge of course boasts the usual iPod dock, as well as pair of built-in speakers of unspecified kitchen-shaking ability. Gorenje also takes things one step further with its iGorenje web portal, which is, you guessed it, optimized for the iPhone or iPod touch. It’ll not only give you the usual recipes and other information, but control over other household appliances that are connected via WiFi, although Gorenje is quick to point out that’s still only in a test version. No word on a price or release date just, but given Gorenje’s penchant for pricey appliances, you can be sure it won’t come cheap.

Wadia Digital intros iTransport: the audiophile’s iPod dock

January 4th, 2008 by

Filed under: ,

We’ve seen some fairly snazzy aftermarket iPod docks before, but Wadia Digital is hoping to lure a few C-notes from the wallets of bona fide audiophiles with its iTransport. This Made for iPod device reportedly bypasses the PMP’s “internal D/A conversion and output stage,” which enables the music to stream through “clean and unadulterated.” Hailed as the “market’s first digital player dock to retrieve a direct digital signal from an iPod,” it relies on a S/PDIF digital audio out (as well as analog outs) and even includes a set of component outputs for video. Notably, the iPhone and iPod touch will work here too, but unless you’ve got some mighty fine loudspeakers (or cans) that can take advantage of such clarity, we’d suggest holding tight to your $349 when it ships next month.
