Macally FlexTune Offering Multiple Docking Methods for iPods and iPhones

I must say that the new FlexTune from Macally is a real looker, with a very professional design and no futile frills, this iPod/iPhone docker has that something that makes a strong difference. This portable system is based on the same principles like any other similar pieces of tech: it will charge your iPods and iPhone, while at the same time let you play back the media files on these devices.

[admark=1]The FlexTune has been designed with a very neat idea in mind, namely letting the iPhone and iPod Touch users get more from their multimedia devices, in terms of both audio and video files.

The new docking station offers a dual mode operation for iPods Touch and iPhones: you can dock them vertically (like in the case of all the other docks) or horizontally. The horizontal positioning is the key element for watching the video files in a comfortable widescreen format, without any hassle; just pull the speakers apart and dock in your iPod Touch or iPhone, choose your movie, then sit and enjoy.

The complete portability of the new Macally FlexTune is intended for those who aren't that willing to be separated from their multimedia just because they're on a picnic; the small dimensions of the highly compact docking station allow easy carrying and with virtually no installation needed. The FlexTune is quite cool as it can work on an AC adapter for the indoor sessions as well as on 4 AA batteries when on the go.

Even more than the new iPod Touch and iPhone, the Macally FlexTune will also house classic iPods and can be hooked up to any other MP3 player or portable sound device via the aux in plug. Offering a good-quality sound with serious detail, the Macally FlexTune has very intuitive on-board control keys, allowing you to skip the iPod/iPhone interface, which can become quite tricky in horizontal position. Priced at around $60, the new Macally FlexTune is coming to the US in late February.
