MP3-Playing Bunny Uses Most Adorable Dock Possible

This little bunny is named Miffy, apparently a fixture of Dutch children's books, and like our favorite American rodent has been made into an mp3 player. It's cute and all, but it's definitely the cartoony, grassy dock that sells it. More »

Apple Would Never Announce the E-Pod, But It's Still Lustable

Personalized Bobblehead iPhone Holder (Yes, Someone Went There)

What do you get for the Apple lover who has everything? This. You get them this. It's a personalized bobblehead iPhone holder. The subject sends in three different shots of their face, chooses the skin, hair and eye color, and through the magic of...well, we don't know exactly how they're built...a figure arrives that looks somewhat like someone, somewhere. But there's more! More »

If a Porsche Shacked Up With an iPod Dock, You'd Get the Eton P’9120

Can you imagine all the little Eton brothers and sisters sitting around the dinner table, when in walks the Eton P’9120? Its speakers and remote are different...not like mommy or daddy's at all. Awwwwkward. Anyway, the Eton P’9120 is a Porsche-designed Eton iPod dock packing an alarm clock and XM satellite radio antenna. And its remote, for some strange reason, includes a flashlight as well. Going for $600, the P'9120 is not quite as beautiful as the real thing, but as an entry, entry level Porsche, it'll do. Besides, if you don't adopt this poor Eton radio, daddy might figure things out. [Eton via DVICE]

DLO's Homedock Pro Adds 1080i HD Output to Your iPod

It was way back in February when we first alerted you to DLO's upcoming Homedock, but now there's more info available. The Homedock HD Pro is an upscaler dock that can add 1080i or 720p output to your iPod through an HDMI cable to your TV, and it's going to be demoed at the upcoming CEDIA Expo show. It's got "industry standard connectivity" over RS-232 and I.P., with digital optical audio and an IR receiver so you can bolt it into your media setup and control it with universal IR remotes. Better still the dock has an "enhanced on-TV interface" which "features album art in an icon-based format," which makes it sound like a mini AppleTV. There's no pricing info as yet. [CEPro]

The BatRest Holds the iPhone Just Like a...Phone Cradle

The Dark Knight pretty much confirmed that if Batman used any phone, it wouldn't be the iPhone, but we can't help but take a...professional...interest in the BatRest all the same. A folding polypropylene stand, the BatRest (just 1.2mm thick) can fit in your wallet before getting deployed in your darkest hour. As the flight attendents surround you, cornering you hopelessly into a seat that binds your legs and contorts your back, BAM, KAPOWEE! You set up your iPhone on the BatRest and just watch a movie or something. [BullRest via Crave]

Wooden iPod Dock is Wholesome, Er, Wooden

Available for both iPod classic and nano, Marubeni Infotech's wooden docks are coming out in Japan next month. In two finishes: American Walnut; and Scandinavian Birch, (*thwack!*) they have a USB connection and two piddly little 1W channels. Costing $100 and $90 respectively, they're kinda cool, if you're allergic to plastic. Bonus shot after the jump. More »

AD88 From Alfred Dunhill a Pointless Waste of Piano-Black Finish

Whenever I see some high-end retailer flogging non-core business objects, I wrinkle up my nose in disgust. Chanel, of the non-Cylon No. 5, has been the most visible company to do this with its bikes, skis, and now fishing gear, and this is British gentleman's outfitters, Dunhill's, take on it. The AD88. Not only does it take my initials in vain, but it is almost $4,000-worth of iPod dock, digital radio and CD/DVD player that, at almost $4,000 (I guess you tip the doorman the remaining $5 when you walk out of the shop with it) makes fools of us all.

Eino Speakers: An Attractive Portable iPod Dock At Last

Ruggedized, retro aviation, we've done portable iPod docks a-plenty. But until now I've not liked the look of any of them... so here's the Eino. It's pretty simple, with two speakers per channel pushing out 1.4W from a Class-D amp and a bass-enhancement system called Maxx BassR. The 7.7-inch wide thing fits into a carry case, with room for your iPod. And if you're not into the color combos in the pic, there's a blue, white and black frame option. It's available for around $56, but that's from a Japanese site. [Technabob via BBGadgets]

Brando 3-in-1 Data Dock Saves Case Space With Multi-Use Trays

For those of you with desktop PCs crammed to the gills with peripherals, this slot-loading data dock from Brando might be a neat space-saver solution. It takes up just one 3.5-inch drive bay, but has three interchangeable sleds: one for 2.5-inch SATA HDDs, one with a 4-way USB hub and one a multi-type card reader. You simply chose which you need at the time, and slide it into one of the two slots. Cleverly each aluminum-frame sled also functions as an independent USB peripheral, making them pretty useful portable accessories too. Available now for $69. [Brando]

iHome Alarm Clock Rotates Because It Can

While the iPod touch is capable of rotating to tweak the video aspect ratio, most docks make you choose one way or the other. But the iHome iH41B dock will actually rotate with your iPod, and its digital clock display will adjust to match. For those of you who just own standard iPods, the iH41B is still compatible. So fulfill all those dreams of docking your MP3 player at a 90-degree angle. And never let someone tell you that you can't do something again. [iHome via Crunchgear]

Gear4's BassStation iPod Dock Thumps Out 35W of Pumping Tunes

Gear4's BassStation iPod dock will have a 35W pumping subwoofer, RCA connectivity and a fully featured remote control. The white on black styling looks retro enough for us to give the 2.1 stereo speaker the time of day, and the 10m range of the control gives us enough space to shield our eyes when it all gets too much. Whether it will be the worth the £99.99 ($201), is another matter entirely. Alternatively, you could opt for the undisputed, iPod Dock King. [Techdigest]

Shrink-wrapping your MP3 player has suddenly become reality, thanks to the guys at Twinbird. The XZABADY (crazy name, eh, crazy guys?) is a frame-shaped iPod dock with FM radio that you can park your player in to make it waterproof. The player connects via an audio jack, and you can customize the background with a picture of your loved one—maybe they look better with an iPod superimposed on top of them—and then press down on the silicon rubber sheet to seal. XZABADY: truly a byword for fugtional; where fug meets function. [Trends in Japan]

DLO iBoom Has Color-LCD RF Remote, Good Style

Here is another DLO dock: the iBoom Jukebox is a portable iPod dock-speaker system with dual 1-inch tweeters and 3-inch woofers and plays nicely with all types of iPod except the iPhone.
