Altec iPod Portable Docking Solutions: inMotion iMV712, M812, iM600

Introducing the Altec inMotion iMV712 (pictured): 8.5-inch high-resolution LCD panel and of course a "go figure" sound quality. Ok, crystal-clear sound quality. I've said it. There's more: room-filling and maybe also street-filling audio experience.

It features two 3-inch neodymium Micro Drivers and a 4-inch built-in subwoofer, and remote control. It can be set in kitchens, small dorm rooms or anywhere else (small woods, tight streets and so on). It really gives you the feeling of owning a flat faced digital Chiwawa that barks nice. Don't try looking into its eyes. Probably even the elves will squint trying to see what's on the display. The device is available for 349$. One thing it won't do is "make some noise" in those French "chateaux" you recently inherited. It will sound like a tiny weeny little Chiwawa barking in a big hallway.

The M812 is a wireless wonder. The device uses 2.4 Ghz wireless technologies in order to transmit music over the airwaves. It delivers sound through walls, floors and ceilings up to 100 feet away. It has FM radio too. The speakers come with two 3.5-inch woofers and a single 1-inch tweeter. It also comes with a full featured remote and a wall mounting kit in case you really want your friends to ask you 'what kind of phone is that?'. The M812 sells for 400$.

The iM600 speaker system for iPod comes with integrated FM receiver, a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery, full-function remote, alarm clock and superior bass enhancement technology. The device includes "SFX Sound field Expander" for widening the sound field. The speakers are powered by two-inch neodymium drivers. It also features input jack for second device connection including CD, DVD and MP3 players. This one is priced at 149,95$.
