Chinon has just released the AVi, an iPod dock that comes with stereo speakers, a 7-inch LCD screen, and a digital TV and FM Radio tuner. The LCD screen on the front sports a 480 x 234 resolution displays videos and photo slideshows stored on the connected iPod (at least for the models that support the TV out feature), as well as for showing digital TV broadcasts.
The AVi also comes with other minor features that make it handy in a college dorm room, such as an alarm clock to let users wake up to the sound of a preset iPod track or to radio and TV stations. The compact digital “boombox” comes with an aux in connection for plugging in other audio sources, as well as RCA AV outputs. These connections also let the AVi to work as an digital-to-analog converter, allowing users to show digital TV broadcasts onto older analog TVs.
It’s pretty portable as well, listed to run for up to three hours on battery power.
The Chinon AVi is available now for $200.
