Altec Lansing’s new Octiv Mini isn’t the most advanced iPhone speaker-dock out there, but it’s relatively affordable, which makes it good enough for us and every other Average Joe who happens to have an iPhone. Regular charge and audio playing is a given on the compact Octiv Mini, but Altec Lansing also offers a free Alarm Rock app to go with it, adding a handy alarm clock function to the device without having to add any more built-in tech that you’re going to have to pay for. The design’s pretty original too—a nice little bonus if you’re into tweaked geometric shapes.
Altec Lansing has just announced the MIX Boombox, a powerful, well, boombox designed with the 80’s classic style, but with a new-millennium touch. Built with an array of speakers that include two midrange drivers, tweeters, and side-firing ‘woofers, the MIX Boombox also sports an iPod dock for running the show using an iPod or iPhone.
Altec Lansing has just announced two new speaker systems geared for budget-shoppers under their VS (Value Series) line of low-cost multimedia kits. Intended for use on desktops and laptops, the two new kits feature fresh, new designs and are priced between US$29.95 and 49.95.
