    Sony Drops Three Other Stylish iPhone Docks

    Following our sneak peek at one of Sony's neat new iPod/iPhone docks last week, the company's now officially released three other sets to tickle our fancy. Pictured above is the boom box model (ZS-S4iP) with Mega Bass sound, for some old school on-the-go music blaring—the dock secures and charges your music player and it comes with a wireless remote for full menu control. It'll be available in October for $100. If that doesn't speak to you maybe these other ones will.


    The XDR-S10HDiP a tabletop HD Radio with an iTunes tagging service. If you enjoy a song you hear on the airwaves, tag it for future download onto your iPod. Yours for $180.


    The SRS-GU10iP is for fancy people. You can tell by the piano black wood finish and the lack of other more technical details. It retails for $150.

    SONY DEBUTS IPOD AND iPHONE COMPATIBLE BOOMBOX, HD RADIO WITH iTUNES
    TAGGING, CD CLOCK RADIO AND DOCKING SPEAKER

    SAN DIEGO, Sept. 19, 2008 - Sony today is taking the wraps off four
    audio products that work with current dockable iPod(r) and iPhone(tm)
    devices.
    The new CD clock radio (model ICF-CD3iP), boombox (model ZS-S4iP), table
    top HD Radio(tm) with iTunes Tagging (model XDR-S10HDiP), and docking
    speaker (model SRS-GU10iP) let you enjoy music from either iPod or
    iPhone. All four products are part of the Made for iPod and Works with
    iPhone programs.
    Rise and Shine
    The ICF-CD3iP device is Sony's first CD clock radio with a
    hidden dock for iPod and iPhone devices. It gives users multi-function
    flexibility that enables them to listen, wake and fall asleep to their
    iPhone or iPod, CDs or radio in the form of a small footprint.
    Featuring a large, highly visible liquid crystal display, this clock
    radio charges both iPod and iPhone devices. It also includes a remote
    control that provides full access to the menu of music functions. It
    has a compact, vertical "floating" design that hides the docking
    station, offers CD R/RW playback, and has an AM/FM digital tuner.
    Tunes On The Go
    For iPod and iPhone users who want to experience their music out loud,
    Sony is introducing its first boombox that works with both devices. The
    ZS-S4iP boombox adds iPhone compatibility and enhanced sound quality
    through its Mega Bass(r) Sound system.
    The dock on this new boombox secures and charges your iPod or iPhone
    while on the go, and features a removable cover so you can directly
    control iPod touch and iPhone. A wireless remote allows full menu
    control for your CD, radio and the music function of iPod or iPhone.
    The unit also offers 20 AM and 10 FM radio presets.
    HD Radio for Your Ears
    The XDR-S10HDiP is Sony's first HD Radio with iTunes Tagging that is
    compatible with the newest generation of 3G iPhone devices, as well as
    iPod players. It solves a need for those who want to experience their
    music out loud, with rich bass and simulated surround sound.
    This new product also charges your device while providing the benefits
    of HD Radio, including multi-casting (which offers new FM channels, more
    music, news and sports) and clear, crisp sound - all subscription free.
    The radio also includes iTunes Tagging, which lets you tag the songs you
    like on the radio, for future download to your iPod player. It also
    features auxiliary input, as well as 20 AM and FM radio presets.
    Dock Me Up
    Sony's elegantly designed SRS-GU10iP docking speaker offers high quality
    audio and a piano black wood finish. Unlike most docking speakers for
    iPod players, this new speaker system is compatible with the newest
    generation of 3G iPhone devices as well.
    The system also features bass sound and a remote commander for
    convenient access. It charges both the iPod and iPhone units, includes
    an auxiliary input, and supports AC/DC operation (batteries not
    included).
    Pricing and Availability
    The ZS-S4iP boombox will be available in October for about $100 in black
    and white. The ICF-CD3iP CD clock radio will be available later this
    month for about $100.
    The XDR-S10HDiP HD table radio will also be available this month for
    about $180, as will the SRS-GU10iP Sony iPhone/iPod docking speaker for
    about $150.

    www.sonystyle.com . The ZS-S4iP boombox,
    ICF-CD3iP CD clock radio and SRS-GU10iP docking speaker will be
    available at Sony Style stores across the county. All four products will
