Sony Concedes Defeat With iPod-dockable CMT-BX20i and CMT-BX50BTi Shelf Systems [The World Is Ending]

bx50bti.jpgThe Score iPod-dock shelf systems are about as dime a dozen as you get, but these actually are special: They're from Sony, the first iPod systems from them ever. Isn't this sorta tantamount to surrendering? The CMT-BX20i does the basics, and step-up CMT-BX50Ti adds Bluetooth to the same gear, for wireless streaming to other devices. But again: Sony iPod dock! The Rub: Pricey for being sorta bare bones, at $130 and $150 respectively.

Review: ifrogz Silicone Wrapz and Treadz for iPod

The four ifrogz cases actually consist only of two distinct case designs, sold in separate versions for the iPod touch and iPhone: one is called Wrapz or Silicone Wrapz, and the other is called Treadz ($20 each). We ve reviewed both of these cases before for earlier iPods; the major difference here is just in size and appropriateness. In simple summary, the Treadz case looks like a flattened car tire, and the Wrapz case is the latest generation
