SpectraVideo Logic3 i-Station8

Interesting stacked-speaker design. Backlit LCD lists song and volume info. Small footprint. Full-featured remote.

Quirky start-up behavior.

Though the i-Station8 isn't the best-sounding iPod speaker out there, it has plenty of handy features that the competition lacks.

Belkin TuneTalk Stereo

The fifth-generation Apple iPod has supported true CD-quality audio recording since it was launched nine months ago. Because no one bothered to make a compatible microphone, however, this feature has been inaccessible. That changed with the release of the...

Records CD-quality audio directly to iPod. Provides auxiliary line input and automatic gain control. Lets you charge iPod while recording. Connects to iPod through most cases. Plug-and-play.

No level meter (beyond simple clipping indicator). Built-in mic picks up iPod's hard drive whine.

The Belkin TuneTalk Stereo is a product that should have been released nine months ago (right after the iPod with video), but better late than never. It works well and is easy to use.

Soundcast iCast

SoundCast iCast

By Mike Kobrin

Immune to interference. Excellent sound quality. Easy to set up and operate.

No remote control. Doesn't support multiple streams. Supports up to two receivers only.

The Soundcast iCast falls midway between the StarTech AirLink MP3 and the Sonos ZonePlayer system. It's not cheap, but it's a wireless iPod dock that's immune to interference.

Kensington Entertainment Dock 500 For iPod

Gadgets for Your iPod

By Mike Kobrin

Kensington's follow-up product to its original Stereo Dock for iPod is definitely a step up. The new Entertainment Dock 500 ($99.99 direct) includes video outputs and an RF-based remote control, but it does have a few limitations. You can't sync your iPod...

Excellent audio and video quality. Easy setup. RF remote has good range and features.

You can't browse iPod menus on your TV screen.

This is a solid product, but it's about to be eclipsed by similarly priced docks with more features.

Apple iPod Hi-Fi

Apple iPod Hi-Fi

By Mike Kobrin

Separate bass unit': No, THX certification': No, Controller': Wireless, # of satellites: 1, Controls on satellites ...

Excellent sound quality. Can run on alkaline batteries or AC power. Optical and analog audio inputs.

It's no surprise that the new champ among iPod speakers/docks comes from none other than Apple. It's versatile and loud enough for almost any listening needs, though it lacks video output.

Apple iPod Radio Remote

Gadgets for Your iPod

By Mike Kobrin

Detractors and owners alike have complained for years about the iPod's lack of integrated FM, especially since so many other players have the feature. The new Apple iPod Radio Remote offers a good compromise by taking a significantly different approach th...

Compact. Good reception. Easy to use.

Doesn't come in black.

Apple seems unlikely to ever build an FM tuner into the iPod, so this is the next best thing.

Good sound quality. Versatile. Compact and sturdy.

Large footprint when cover is folded out. A bit pricey.

Overall, this is a very good choice for travelers who have a Creative Zen Micro—if you can find it for below list price. Home or office users will definitely want a powered subwoofer.

Archos AV700

Archos AV700

Records video from analog sources. Excellent line-in audio recording. Sturdy feel. Big screen. Video playback is smooth and sharp on built-in screen and on TV. Good battery life. Replaceable battery.

No calendar or contacts features.

This is definitely an excellent solution for taking your video on long car or plane trips. The large 7-inch screen really sets the AV700 apart.
