Krell Papa Dock Combo Costs Four Grand, Makes Your 96kbps Tracks Sing

Audiophile megabrand Krell's Papa Dock (companion to the $1500 Kid Dock, which snaps into its new daddy) boosts the Kid's output to 150 watts, sports a gigantic power supply along with isolated stereo channels, and will set you back another $2500 on top. I would say our jury's still out on spending $4000 on serious audiophile gear to amplify a consumer-level source input, but this thing looks like it could take a bullet for you, if that's your thing. And as Adrian points out, naming your product after a brutal Haitian dictator is always a great way to stir up some interest. [Krell]

JVC NX-PN7 Gives Your iPod a Use Post-iPhone

For those of us who have an iPod (or two) along with an iPhone (or two) under one roof, JVC has just released the NX-PN7 (we had a hands-on way back at CES). Aside from docking more than one iThing at a time, the $149.95 NX-PN7 features AM/FM tuning, alarm clock, timer and unspecified video out. Plus, the dock features two illuminated strips (one under each iPod) that can display nine programmable colors. That's probably enough selection to match at least one of the other superfluously illuminative devices you have floating around the house. [JVC]

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]

Geneva Lab's Shiny New Media Center Has iPod Dock, Unsurprisingly

The guys over at Apartment Therapy Unplugged spotted a pretty sweet media center that'll be coming soon to a living room near you. Made by Geneva Lab, a company known for its high-end iPod speaker docks, the new cabinet system includes four midrange 5.5-inch speakers, two tweeters, a 12-inch subwoofer, a cabinet to hold A/V components, and (of course) a dock for everybody's favorite MP3 player. It's expected to hit stores in late Fall 2008, and will cost $3,500. More pics after the jump. More »

Review: Lasonic i931 iPod Ghetto Blaster (Verdict: Awesome)

We've covered a handful of new and modded Lasonic gear here at Giz, but I finally got up close with their fabled i931 iPod Ghetto Blaster. If you're unfamiliar, Lasonic made some classic boomboxes during the 80s, and now they've updated their TRC-931 boombox with a built-in iPod dock, SD card reader and USB port. The picture and description pretty much sum up what makes this $170 retro wonder so amazing, but I have a laundry list of reasons why the i931 boombox is one of my favorite gadgets I've ever laid hands on.

SkyMall Construction Radio/iPod Dock Is Almost Pointlessly Rugged

Not feeling enough like a real man with that Bose Portable SoundDock? Well roll up your sleeves past your biceps and grab hold of this Construction Radio and iPod dock. Not only does it snugly hold your iPod, but this 10-lb $130 hoss has a spotlight, two power outlets, an SD card slot and a USB jack for charging phones or connecting a music source. Since it's found in the SkyMall catalog, we don't have the full drop-test ratings, but anything with that much metal piping is at least bound to protect your iPod's LCD while you're off soldering or jigsawing or jackhammering—whatever it is you're always doing in that shed of yours.

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]

Macally FlexTune Dock Holds iPhone Sideways For Video Without the Neck Strain

Most iPod docks think vertically: iPod slides in, charging and playing in the most upright of fashions. But Macally's new FlexTune dock gives you two 30-pin choices, one centered old-school towards the bottom, and one off to the right, so that you can clamp in your iPhone or iPod touch to view video the way God intended, in 16:9. It's a great idea, since the larger the iPod/iPhone screen gets, the less important LCD-equipped video docks become. The FlexTune takes four AA batteries for portable enjoyment, and has a line-in jack for non-iPods. Let's just hope the FlexTune sounds halfway decent, but for $60, we're not entirely optimistic.

Sony Concedes Defeat With iPod-dockable CMT-BX20i and CMT-BX50BTi Shelf Systems

The Score iPod-dock shelf systems are about as dime a dozen as you get, but these actually are special: They're from Sony, the first iPod systems from them ever. Isn't this sorta tantamount to surrendering? The CMT-BX20i does the basics, and step-up CMT-BX50Ti adds Bluetooth to the same gear, for wireless streaming to other devices. But again: Sony iPod dock! The Rub: Pricey for being sorta bare bones, at $130 and $150 respectively.

JVC's NX-PN7 Dual iPod Dock

Weird Science: We already saw a hint of the NX-PN7 in a previous newswire leak, and here it is: an iPod dock that has room for two of the players. I guess you'd be able to charge two at once. Maybe you have an iPhone and a classic, the classic holding the bulk of your collection. April arrival at $150.
The Catch: There is no rhyme or reason for such a setup, other than to show off how big a fanboy you are. Consider me weirded out. More »

Listen to iLuv i399 iPod Dock From 300 Feet Away With BluePin II

The Skinny: Another Bluetooth-enabled dock from iLuv, this one boosts the wireless range to 300 feet w/ BluePin II. Sound is supposedly better than previous models courtesy of iAura, plus it has speaker phone capabilities. The Drag: Their past model X99 model only had 6 watts per speaker, which is not a lot of output juice—this one might be similarly impotent.

iLuv i1255 Desktop iPod Dock/DVD Player Hybrid Is Simple Convergence

The Skinny: The iLuv i1255 is a basically a DVD player with an iPod dock slapped on top. It plays DVDs, VCDs and CDs plus puts media from the iPod on your TV, a common trick nowadays. Basically if you're in the market for both a bare-bones DVD player and iPod dock and wanna save shelf space. The Catch iLuv's i1155 is much sleeker, portable and works all the same angles.

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.

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.

Experiencing Geneva's Rich-Sounding Model M iPod System, Plus Its Big Brothers L and XL

At a cocktail-fueled event at the chic furniture store Design Within Reach in NYC, I got to play around with Geneva's trio of wood-cabinet iPod-dockable sound systems: the Model M, Model L and Model XL. The recently announced $500 M is the most compact of the line, but still seemed a bit hefty compared with other iPod docks we've seen. (Maybe the company is leaving room for a Model S somewhere down the road.) The M's sleek Euro design and clean lines make it attractive, especially in glossy fire-engine red. Its seamlessly integrated CD player and under-grill LED display add to the smooth aesthetic. Compared with the Model L and the big, fat (expensive) Model XL, the M didn't have the same bass kick, but overall the sound was very rich and warm. [Geneva]
