Bose decides to get a piece of the iPod pie. Knowing Bose’s reputation for exquisite sound, this is sure to be a hot seller.

The SoundDock uses an integrated system approach, with matched amplifiers, equalizers and speakers . The SoundDock system integrates with third and fourth-generation iPods, as well as the iPod mini. For flexibility and convenience, the included infrared remote can control iPod from across the room. The iPod and SoundDock system can also be operated without the remote. When an iPod is docked, all of its controls are accessible, with one-button volume controls available on the SoundDock system’s enclosure. The system charges the iPod while in use, or when docked.

The SoundDock features quick installation and intuitive operation: plug the power cord into a wall outlet, insert the iPod into the docking cradle, and play.
