Teeny, Tiny MicroSound iPod
As if the iPod needed any more well thought out accessories, the MicroSound enters the fray looking to fill the apparent void in the nano speaker market. MicroSound is the brainchild of Miglia, the same company that makes the TVMax DVR system for the Mac mini. Migilia calls the MicroSound "slim, ultra-light and ultra-modern," which are pretty strong words for a pair of small speakers that'"gasp!'"integrate with an iPod. Just how small is it, I'm sure you're wondering? The dimensions come in at 2.3x0.7x1.1-inches. Small speakers, just as advertised. The MicroSound plugs into the headphone jack of the iPod nano (and shuffle), making it "the perfect companion for any outdoor activity." ...So long as that activity lasts about 12 hours, since that's how long the MicroSound will keep playing music on a single AAA battery. You can grab the MicroSound speakers online for about $30. '" Nicholas Deleon Product Page [Miglia via iLounge]

World Exclusive Bosch Power Box iPod Dock Reviewed
This be it, the very first images you will see ever of the Bosch Power Box PB10-CD iPod Boombox. Just look at it, it is simply breathtaking and it plays back music all good-like. It has a roll cage for sakes, it has to be amazing. Are you impressed yet? You should be because nobody has ever seen anything quite like this. It does something with an iPod, I think. But who cares? Look at it! It's beautiful! '" Travis Hudson Product Page [Via Gizmodo Via Gizmodo again Via Gizmodo one more time]

Bosch Power Box iPod Dock For Tough
It's been a while since we've covered an iPod dock (or maybe it just seems that way), but Bosch's recently introduced Power Box iPod Dock at least looks different. Housed in a protective roll cage'"Bosch is also in the power tools business'"the Power Box both recharges your iPod and provides the rock quarry with all the Ace of Base it can handle. It appears, though, that the Power Box is a little too simple for today's iPod market: when you consider that you have to first purchase Bosch's Power Box and then the separate iPod dock compnent, you'll eventually start wondering why you're going through all those hoops for just to get your iPod connected. Still, if you like pretending to be rugged and the name Bosch appeals to you, be prepared to spend some $170 on the Power Box itself, then an additional $40 on the iPod adapter kit.
