14 DAY TRIAL // Although, in theory, most accessories designed specifically to work with the various Apple products out there should be launched during Macworld, it seems that the people over at iHome have a slightly different opinion on the matter, since they've revealed the fact that they'll be bringing to CES 2011 three new portable speaker systems meant to work with Apple's iPad.
The first product that people who visit the company's booth will be able to admire is the iDM12 Rechargeable Portable Bluetooth Speaker System for iPad/iPhone/iPod, a micro sound bar for the media watcher on the go that comes with a protective magnetic casing easily detaching to serve as a stand for either portrait or landscape orientation.
Next in line comes the iDM15 Rechargeable Portable Stereo Bluetooth Speakers with Speakerphone, a 2011 CES Innovations Honoree that provides all the power one might need on the go.
Despite providing good quality sound, the audio system only sports two little speakers, all wrapped up in a handy protective travel case that transforms into an iPad, iPhone, or netbook stand when speakers are in use.
These mini-speakers are equipped with the latest in Bluetooth technology, giving owners wireless connectivity for audio streaming and speakerphone capability from any Bluetooth enabled device.
Last, but certainly not least, comes the iDM70 Protective ‘Sound Sleeve’ Case and Stand for iPad with Built-in Rechargeable Stereo Speakers, a premium iPad case, protective silicone sleeve and six-position stand at its core.
With built-in rechargeable flat NXT stereo speakers, users can pump up the volume wherever they go, while maintaining a low profile and eliminating the need to carry any additional hardware.
"The iPad is a phenomenal product whose popularity continues to soar,” said Evan Stein, Vice President of Marketing, iHome.
“The new products we are debuting at CES are the perfect complement to the advanced capabilities and ‘go anywhere’ portability of the iPad, and we believe consumers will appreciate the convenience, sound fidelity and overall quality of each,” added the company's rep.
iHome’s new iPad audio solutions, as well as new products such as iD9, iD28 and iD85 will be available later this year, although no specific availability or pricing details have been provided thus far.
