The iLamp, iPods and Light in One Single Gadget

We've already seen retro dial phones turned into docks for iPods, but iHome's latest contraption has taken things even further in the realm of home décor: the iLamp is one neat lighting gadget that comes in a plethora of colors and which is also usable as an iPod dock/speaker system. Those who are deep into the art of home decorations will certainly appreciate this iPod dock, as it is available in bright and happy colors, helping individuals get the best of what their room looks like.

Shaped like your everyday bedside lamp, the iLamp sports a fluid design that is easy to integrate in any setting, whether we're thinking about a modern or a conservative one.

With a small footprint and low profile, the iLamp can reside on tabletops and bedside furniture alike; and it can even be a neat accessory for the kids' room, if need be. And besides matching the iLamp with the colors of your room, you can even match it to the color of your iPod; or choose a different nuance to obtain a nifty contrast.

The iLamp can deliver a sonic response of up to 6 W RMS, being perfect for the no-frills home acoustic ambient purposes. It sports discrete volume control and comes with Apple's universal dock connector that will allow you to cradle a heap of iPod models in there. And of course, you also get the auxiliary input, which lets you hook up almost any music source such as MP3 player, CD player, PSP and the likes.

In the absence of any detailed specs, we assume that this dock is powered from your wall socket; at the same time, due to its specific construction, the iLamp should sport a good 360-degree sonic dispersion to fill your room with a rich sound. There is no remote control for your iPod and no word on the frequency range of the drivers. The $89.99 price should make the iLamp a gadget that will sell pretty well, though.
