NEW UNIQUELY-DESIGNED JVC iPOD® DOCK FEATURES DOLBY VIRTUAL SURROUND
New JVC XS-SR3 “personal theater” holds iPod’s vertically or horizontally.
WAYNE, NJ, December 16, 2009 – A new JVC iPod® speaker system features a unique wraparound design, Dolby Virtual Surround, and a dock that like most docks holds an iPod vertically for music listening, but also can cradle it horizontally – ideal for widescreen viewing of video.
The new JVC XS-SR3 surround dock is a sleek, glossy black speaker tube with a curved design that allows the iPod to nestle between the speakers. The iPod holder rotates for viewing video in widescreen mode and comes with four clips to hold selected iPod models. The speakers’ powerful neodymium magnets ensure clean, crisp sound, while Dolby Virtual Surround creates the illusion of a wider sound field when viewing video content. Power output is five watts and the system features two audio inputs, one analog and one digital optical. A remote control is included.
In addition to its function as an iPod speaker dock, the XS-SR3 can also be used as computer speaker system.
The JVC XS-SR3 is available this month for $149.95.

You want a stylish sound system for your iPod or iPhone, but the docks available are not up to your audiophile standards. The Bowers and Wilkins Zeppelin solves this problem. The Zeppelin offers superb sound for your MP3′s using their sophisticated DSP and the use of five speakers which separate the highs, mids, and lows into their own drivers like a proper sound system would. The Zeppelin has won numerous awards for its sound achievements and should fulfill the requirements of most audiophiles that accept MP3 or lossless quality. The Zeppelin is a bit on the pricey side at $600, but if you want the best, that is what you’ll have to pay. We bet it’ll be worth it once you adorn your house with the sounds any B&W product provides.

The new dock from Griffin aims to rid you of the need for multiple docks and memory card readers. The dock is comprised of the traditional iPod/iPhone dock and supports every iPod model out there. It also has a built in memory card reader which reads Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, SD, xD and Compact Flash. The back of the dock acts as a 2 port hub and then connects to your PC or Mac via a mini USB connector. The price is $69.00 retail and if you wait a little you are sure to find it somewhere for slightly less.
UPDATE: Here it is on Amazon for $43.99 [Here]
