“Turn your iPod music player into a full-blown stereo system with the CPF-IP001 iPod audio docking station. Enjoy rich, deep sound from your iPod in virtually any room of your home,” Sony’s SonyStyle.com website trumpets.
Sony, trampled, abused, dominated, and now thoroughly humiliated by Apple at home and abroad, finally seems resigned to reality and takes to their rightful place in the portable digital music world: maker of premium iPod accessories.
Sony: like.no.other. (if.you.ignore.ten-thousand.other.ipod.accessory.makers.that.is.)
Boom.
Anyway, Sony’s new, yet-typically-horribly-named, CPF-IP001 iPod audio docking station features a connector that is compatible with a variety of Apple iPod models (1st and 2nd generation iPod nano, 4th and 5th generation iPod, and 1st generation iPod mini models) and allows users to plug in their iPods and just press play to stream the entire library of stored music from your iPod through the attached speaker system.
Sony says, “The system’s powerful S-Master amplifier and included subwoofer provide superior sound while the compact and lightweight design allows you to place this docking station in virtually any room of your home. Control everything from song selection to volume with the supplied remote. An additional line input enables you to connect a second audio source.”
The unit retails for US$249.99. More info here.
