How can you improve on Apple's nine-year-old 30-pin dock connector?

Having a manservant keep track of your wallet, keys, and phone is about as pampered as it gets. The Butler organizer doesn't have a British accent, nor does it wear a three-piece suit, but it's got more style than Jeeves ever did.

Naturally you'll need to download the free iLive app to make this clock dock actually work visually. With dual alarms to wake you after your slumber, it comes with a remote too—all for $50. [iLive via 7Gadgets via OhGizmo]

Dock-makers, hear ye! Your iPod/iPhone/iWhatever base station doesn't have to look like some boring pair of speakers! In fact, it doesn't have to look like anything worldly at all. The crazy-looking YanTouch Black Diamond transforms tunes into ambient light.

Sure, it might just look like a normal boombox, and maybe even sound like one, but the Roots Rock is endorsed by the Marley family. And it has canvas straps! Perfect for listening to... hmm... Daft Punk? The Flaming Lips?

Hyperbolic name aside, the Iomega SuperHero actually could save the day—or at least your photos and contacts. It's an iPhone dock that syncs your info, saving you the trouble of plugging into your computer every night.

Electricity—who needs it!? The Koostik, an iPhone dock made of wood (and nothing else), has "specially designed sound channels and hemispherical sound chambers" for "rich, dynamic and natural acoustic amplification." Perfect for the iPhone-user with an Amish streak.

Air Print is on the horizon, and it looks like it's going to be the perfect solution for all our iOS printing needs. IN THE MEANTIME there's the Bolle BP-10, which cradles iPhones and spits out 4"x6" prints.

Designed for use with a ZonePlayer multi-room system, the WD100 iPod/iPhone dock sends music wirelessly around the house. There's not much of note here, but existing Sonos users can snap up the cheap-as-chips $119 dock from next month.
