Alpine IVA-W505 Video Headunit Plays DivX, iPod Video
Alpine's spring line continues to impress, now with a double-DIN head unit with a DivX playing 7-inch touchscreen. It also has the same iPod connectivity (and video playback to boot), IMPRINT sound mapping that compensates for the acoustic differences from car to car, HD/Sat radio readiness, and Tag & Sync (HD Radio tagging to iTunes store buying of songs) like the IDA-X100 single-din head unit. It has Bluetooth audio streaming, a video input, output, and camera backup input. And it doubles as a GPS if you were to dock the traffic-capable second generation PMD-B200 blackbird handheld into its faceplate. [via Audio Junkies] -

LG Tabletop HD Radio/iPod/CD System Is a Flash Gordon Space Football
During the LG CES sneak peek, we saw the PC12 Table Top Audio System, a sleek, extra shiny system with a lot packed inside its compact body. There's a "vacuum-loading" CD player, a hidden 30-pin iPod connector on top, and an HD Radio receiver buried within. A USB connection in the back lets you hook up MP3 players, or drive-based sources of WMA and MP3. I'm pretty sure it will ship for around $300, and at that price, I'm pretty sure there's no battery-power option, but maybe that's next. (Doesn't it totally remind you of the football Flash used to fight off Ming's minions during their first showdown? Or am I just betraying both my age and my geekdom in one fell swoop?) Fact sheet after the hop. [LGE] -
