Compatible with the e200 and the c200 digital audio player, the Base Station is, as you might expect, a dock that lets you jack into a home theater system to listen to your no-moving-parts music to you heart's content. While docked, the digital audio player automatically begins charging and users can use a new innovation called a remote control to control what the audio player plays.

The Base Station comes with all the necessary cables needed to integrate it into a home theater, like an RCA audio cable, and a USB 2.0 cable for transferring songs. Look for the Base Station this October for around $69.99. – Nicholas Deleon.

Big Bosch Power Box iPod dock

09-05-2006

What the heck is the deal with this Bosch Power Box iPod dock? Deflecting onlookers from its intended purpose, this iPod dock looks like it could be used to trigger 50s-era nuclear weapons rather than just power and protect a stoopid iPod. But then, we're fed up with iPods anyway, so anything that would vaporize them all would be a welcome respite from having to write about them day in and day out.

Apparently designed for a he-man jobsite, the iPod docking case can not only charge that beloved music player, it's supposed to protect the thing from shock and movement, too. But what? Are you going to be playing soccer with your precious little iPod, kicking it around with reckless abandon? Remember, you paid hundreds of dollars for it.

So if you feel like kicking around that iPod, the CD-player-packing Bosch Power Box is going to cost you $170. Plus, you'll have to drop $40 on the iPod adapter kit. Or hey, just leave your iPod at home and hum all those tunes to yourself at the jobsite. The neighbors will thank you. – Charlie White

Logitec releases its own WiFi Skype phone

09-05-2006

Logitec's getting into the WiFi Skype game and releasing their own me-too WiFi Skype phone. Again, this Logitec is the Logitec of Japan, not the Logitech (with an H) of the US. Fortunately for WiFi Skype phone collectors like me, this is just an OEM of the Belkin Skype phone, but in white, like SMC's OEM version.

The WiFi Skype phone will be available in Japan and uses either 802.11b or g to place its calls. The WiFi Skype phone also supposedly has Bluetooth so you can hook this up as a handset for your computer, but we're not sure how useful that feature will be. Read up on our thoughts on this model of Skype WiFi phone here. – Jason Chen<
