New PlayDocks Not Quite for Christmas
12.13.06 - 02:36pm
It seems that we have already passed prerequisite shipping days to be guaranteed our Christmas gift - wait hold the ba-humbugs - I guess we’ll have to venture out into the snow (if you got it) and those fabulous mall parking spaces, or you can just wait and get your dock after Chrismas. (Since this is one of those January one’s anyway)
On to the story - Cambridge Soundworks introduced their new PlayDock High-Fidelity Portable Docking Speaker Systems for Zen and iPod players yesterday. (whew - that was one heck of a long name - three times fast!) - Actually not quite that long, yes it is too early for April Fools - the systems are called PlayDock Zen, for Zenners, and PlayDock i, for, that’s right, iPoders. (Yes I do know those aren’t real words and did you catch the i on the end! - I was tricked yes’m I surely was - One of these days can someone leave off the “i”, the first one was clever, now….)
Nevertheless the PlayDock i is still a great system which can make that little tiny screen, on your iPod, be a super big screen on your very own TV. It also has wide stereo effect, built-in subwoofer with bass control and is magnetically shielded for no interference when put close to your TV or monitor.
One can listen privately by connecting to the headphone jack. Players are charged during playback of music, ZENcasts, or podcasts. Also included is a remote control and built-in telescopic antenna for clear FM reception, when used with radio capable players.
On the go? - one can use either eight C-size batteries for continuous playback or the universal power adapter, which is included with the package.
All this for $199.99. The PlayDock Zen is available now and the Playdock i will be available in January. (I can’t help it - the i looks so lonely and so little all by itself!)
