HTC Touch Diamond Gets Classy Desktop Dock, Headphones

The HTC Touch Diamond is pretty classy already, but this desktop cradle/desktop dock gives it a nice house on your desk for it to sleep and dock. From the looks of it, it's even got earbuds and a 3.5mm jack for you to connect to a set of speakers as well. The footprint looks slightly large compared to say, an iPhone dock, but we can throw some crap on the floor to make room. [Clove via Tracy and Matt via Tech Digest]

Scandyna iPod Docks Amplify External Speakers

There are literally hundreds of iPod docks on the market and not too many that I would lose sleep over. I must admit, however, that the Scandyna dock and V-Dock both have me intrigued; it looks great and it is a powered amplifier rather than your standard pod dock with underperforming speakers, you get two 15W channels for a pair of speakers and a sub woofer; and if you buy the V-Dock, you will have a video output as well.

Biggest iPod Dock in the Known Universe Can Be Camping Home, Zeppelin

The iBig Box is... THE BIGGEST IPOD DOCK IN THE ENTIRE KNOWN UNIVERSE! It's red, it's gigantastic, it goes to eleven, it makes soccermoms laugh and kids dance like the Bangles, and because its inflatable, it can be filled with hydrogen and take you floating around the world or burn down like the Hindenburg. Either way, it will give you endless fun for $59.99 and third-degree burns. [Liquidation Connect via New Launches]

Mac With 150 Apps Running Shows Teeny-Weeny Dock, Exposé Windows

Ever wondered what Mac Dock and Exposé look like with 150 apps running? Well, wonder no more, friend. Wonder no more. Rest assured, however, everything gets ludicrously tiny. Now, we're not too sure who'd be using 150 apps simultaneously, except for maybe that dude at the end of The Matrix who manages to confuse the crap out of everyone. Damn, he sure was crazy. Anyway, the sight is quite impressive nonetheless, so jump in for a screen shot. More »

iHome's iHL10, iHL20, iHL31 iPod Dock Lamps Are For iPod Dock Haters

iHome just devised a genius iPod dock—a category that's already full up with five times too many models than it really needs—that's not only an iPod dock, but also a lamp. It's an iPod dock lamp, and it's available in three models, one of which is shorter and fatter, another of which comes with a remote. The perfect thing for a desk that's in need of lighting and/or music. At $49.99, it's neither too expensive for a lamp or too expensive for a dock. If we could only get more of the stuff on our desk to converge, we could actually see our desks. [Checkolite via Slippery Brick via dvice]

iHome iH69 Computer Speakers With Integrated iPod Dock

iHome's iH69 speakers provide an all-in-one solution for music lovers that fight a never-ending battle with gadget clutter. Simply put, these 20-watt, 2.5-inch computer speakers feature a built-in dock that will sync, charge and play your iPod. Looks like a good example of convergence if you ask me. Let's just hope they don't sound like crap. No prices have been announced, but you can expect the iH69 to hit store shelves in June. [Blast Mag and iHome]

iPod Trunk from Pinel & Pinel Probably the Most Gorgeous Around

Parisian trunkmaker Pinel & Pinel's iPod case is the kind of iPod case I'd like to get my hands on—if I hadn't dropped my iPod before Christmas, that is. Made from leather-covered wood, its built-in speakers are Altec-Lansing, and it's got a couple of pockets so you don't lose your accessores (I know my USB connector is somewhere in the house, anyone with a psychic grandmother please contact her now and tell her that there's a lost cable that needs her help.)

Make Over Your Living Room, OS X Leopard Style

Looking to add a unique personal touch to your living space? I see plenty of sports fans decking out a room with team colors and accessories—so why can't Apple fanboys do the same? First off you need to add a little flair to that boring old couch with the OS X dock pillow set pictured above. Unfortunately, the design is one-of-a-kind, so you had better find someone who is handy with a sewing machine. No problem, right? Now all you need is some storage. Fortunately, the perfect solution is available after the break. More »

Is the Apple MacBook Touch a Realistic Possibility?

Some Apple fan mixed the real iMac-like dock patent and the fabled MacBook touch, getting a very nice rendition of how both concepts may look together. There is minimalist dock station too, with an optical drive, extra hard-drive, charging and wireless connectivity but without the screen, which looks like a more realistic proposition. The whole thing is just a figment of a wet fanboy imagination, but could this really happen? And would you buy an Apple tablet, an ultra-Slim MacBook or none of them?

iLava: iPod Speaker Docking Station For Dirty Hippies

Even if Greenpeace isn't on the Apple bandwagon, research shows that Apple customers are the greenest among computer companies. With all those hippie dollars to be had, it is not surprising that someone decided to combine the lava lamp with an iPod speaker system and docking station. The main feature is a LED light show that syncs with the music—adding to the trippy vibe. Too bad we can't get dirty, smelly hippies interested in more practical iPod docks. Available for $100.

Afternoon News: Speak R2-D2's Language, Watch Hulu In HD, Get a Cheap Zune Dock and More

• Adobe's Flash Player 9 now supports the H.264 video codec. Expect more HD Flash video and greater iPhone compatibility as a result. [TUAW]
• Hulu began streaming in HD today, coinciding with Adobe's Flash update. Cold comfort if you ask me, since there are no TV shows left anyway. [Crave]
• R2-D2 Translator turns your typed words into the little droid's language. Be careful not to break the space-time continuum by asking it to translate "beep boop beep." [R2D2 Translator]
Altec Lansing's M604 Zune dock is on Woot for a measly $45, more than $150 off the retail price. Line-in and video-out make this compatible with other players too, so it sounds like a sweet deal. [Woot]

Lars and Ivan iPod Dock Small In Size, Big On Sound

Lars & Ivan's entry into the iPod Dock market is not the typical do-it-all, moderately-powered device. Instead, the PA-40Ti Hybrid is a tube-based 40-watt amplifier that hooks up to whatever speakers you so desire. It also looks like some sort of utopian alien fortress, but I digress. Additional features include RCA inputs, subwoofer preamp and dock connector output (for video and usb connectivity). Belgian retailer designgadgets currently has the Hybrid available for about $342 USD. [designgadgets via technabob]
