Okay, it won’t actually help you cook, but this iPod dock for the kitchen is certainly set up to keep you company while you do. The iP39’s stainless steel and black plastic body is designed to match the rest of the kitchen décor (provided that the stuff in your kitchen is made up of stainless steel and glossy black surfaces) and it should also be easy to clean in case you make a mess.
Here’s a speaker-dock for your iPod that’s pretty unique: the Heritage Deluxe Table Radio by French company Revo, which is basically a dock that looks like an old radio from the 60’s. While it’s not quite as unique as, say, an iPod dock that’s shaped like a stool, this old-school radio packs in a lot of serious “right now” tech. See, this old-school wood-and-aluminum box isn’t a speaker with a slot for parking your ‘Pod. It’s a full DAB radio, with support for DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting), DAB+, FM and Wi-fi internet radio. The heritage also supports wireless audio streaming from a networked PC or Mac, which is so much more than what the average “new” speaker docks will give you.
Accessory maker Belkin has just come out with what could be considered as the ultimate FM transmitter device built for iPhones called the TuneCast Auto Live. What makes it so special? Regular FM transmitters are simple accessories that allow you to transmit your iPod’s (or any other compatible porta-player) playlist wirelessly to an FM receiver, basically letting you tune in your car radio to an iPod playing in your pocket. The TuneCast Auto Live comes with a little bit more functions, along with an app that lets you control it using an iPhone’s screen.
