Spirit of St Louis Boombox Gives Your iPod Retro Aviation Chic
Forget the boringly-plastic iPod boomboxes we've shown you before: I want one of these. It's in period aviation "Spirit of St Loius" style: wooden cabinet, shiny dials and satisfyingly chunky switches, meant to look like a WWII battlefield radio. Inside there's an iPod dock, CD player and AM-FM radio that's also an alarm clock. It's powered by 8 "D" batteries, so you can haul it along to picnics in the park, and measures 19 x 8.7 x 7.9-inches. The one drawback: its price is also satisfyingly chunky at $586.

Cannondale Bicycles May Get iPod Dock Upgrade + Stat Tracking
Cannondale bikes hired a design firm to render up some possible future features on their rides, one of which is a very interesting one called MetroPolite that has an iPod connector. An iPod seems like the last thing you want to be shoving into your ears when you're riding in a Metro area, seeing as bikes lose to cars when the latter accidentally hit the former, but the connector isn't just for that.

ihome speakers
We've seen the iHome iH69 before, but it and the slightly newer iH70 computer speakers have an iPod dock built directly into the body. Why's this useful when you've theoretically got your computer plugged into your computer; the same computer that already has the music library that you fed your iPod with? That's a good question, but iHome's probably assuming you're taking these speakers to, say, work. Or something. The iH69 is $99 and the iH70 is $122 when it's released soon. [iHome]

There's nothing better than two iPods or iPhones at the same time, unless you're talking about four iPods at the same time, but let's not get greedy. Griffin's PowerDock lets you bathe in the comfort of knowing two beautiful universal dock ports are being serviced simultaneously, while at the same time holding them upright in a gentle caress that only a dock that's certified as "Works with iPhone" and "Made for iPod" can. You too can get two iPods at the same time for not one million dollars, but $49.99. [Griffin]

singapore airlines
Singapore Airlines is installing iPod docks and 15.4-inch widescreen LCDs in their all-Business Class Airbus A340-500 flights between NY/LA and Singapore, ensuring that we're going to be flying with them if we ever have to travel to that part of the world. Each business customer can dock their iPhone or iPod and watch their own movies on the included noise-canceling headphones—which will be interrupting when the captain wants tell you to look off to your left so you can see a drunken Superman mooning your plane. Flights from Newark with this will start May 15 (today), and August for the LA ones. Maybe now business passengers won't engage in business time whilst in the air.

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]
lamps
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]

iTam Tam iPod Dock Is Strangely Unique, Expensive
Close to 99% of all the iPod Docks we've ever seen look about the same. This iTam Tam looks nothing like those. Imagine making a dock that's shaped like a stool or a gong, and this is what you'd get. A concave cylindrical thing that's got a slot for an iPod/iPhone at the top. How does this sound? Who cares! At $570, you're not buying this for the audio quality. You're buying this because you need something that screams "I had $570 and I have spent it." [iTam Tam via Branexdesign via Born Rich via DVice]

XZABADY iPod Dock is Waterproof, Thinks It's a Picture Frame
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]

Military-Looking Kenwood AS-IP300 is Just an iPod Dock
It may look like a stealth bomber, but Kenwood's new AS-IP300 iPod dock just connects to your iPod and fires your music out at 2W per channel. It's also got a 3D sound option, remote control, and can take mains power or AA batteries for portability for about eight hours of playback.

The Lasonic iPod Ghetto Blaster has been hyped for a while now, but this was our first opportunity to get a look at it up close—and as you can see, we took full advantage. We also managed to score a full-feature list which I lovingly hand-typed word-for-word from a spec sheet (weird errors and all). And for those of you who thought this thing would never see the light of day, we learned that the boombox will be priced at $169 and it is ready and waiting for interested vendors. You can check out the full specs after the break.

Sonoro cubo fusion and elements iPod Docks and Clocks Are Sexier Than Most
What's What: With Sonoro's cubo line of do-it-all music/clock boxes, looks are the hook. Black, shiny with soft lights, they kind of remind us of Belkin's N1 Vision router. Well, they're European too. The flagship cubo is the fusion, which has an iPod dock on top, in addition to the CD Player, alarm clock, radio set. The elements is more stripped down—you dock the iPod w/ an optional attachment, though one version has internet internet radio.What's Bleh: They don't do anything most other wares in the category does—aesthetics are their raison d'tre. Plus, the top-of-the-line fusion is inexplicably missing the elements' internet radio support.

iTransport is World's First Purely Digital iPod Dock
Just announced for CES, Wadia Digital's iTransport claims a major feat: to be the first iPod dock on the market to pull content from both iPods and iPhones in pure digital format, bypassing the iPods' internal digital to analog conversion and subsequent audio/video loss. The iTransport claims this not only makes the device an exellent iPod dock, but a digital home media server capable of pulling audio and video from every model iDevice in Apple's product line (and even for $349, that sounds pretty cool). Slated for a February release, we'll give you an ears-on at CES.
