    This is the best Speaker Dock I've seen for a long time.

    Great for iPadders, iPodder and iPhoners...

    The new PHILIPS DS8550 Fidelio Dock


    DS8550_10-IMS-global?wid=430&hei=430&$jpglarge$
    Brief run down on its features
    It will handle all iphones up to the 4th gen
    All Ipods with Dock connector and naturally enough the iPad varients

    Its pumps out 15watts per channel and is very meaty sounding.
    You get a little remote control with it to contol it and your ipod when docked.

    It will charge your iDevices (i'll trade mark that phrase i think:)) when docked.

    Also, and this is cool, it has a built in battery that once charged will give up to 5 hours of sound before needing to be recharged...no more spending a fortune on batteries.

    You can dock your Ipod/pads/phones directly and take advantage of the digital audio feed from the dock connector for improved sound quality compared to the usual analogue feeds that most docks run of.

    You can also send your music wirelessly via BLUETOOTH which is a nice touch, especially if playing games on your iPad:D

    The DS8550 comes with a little external stand for your iPad so if you are watching a video you can place it in the Landscape format (on its side!) and send the audio direct to the DS8550.

    Its full spec is here

    You can pick this Speaker Dock up for only €249.99

    As ever its on display so please feel free to bring your iPad/Pod/Phone in and have a blast - or we can subject you to a demo from ours.

    Cheers

    Should have mentioned that if you download the FIDELIO app onto your iPad/pod/phone you can control the volume of the DS8550 direct from your device so will save juggling remotes.

    It will also give you access user adjustable and Preset EQ settings as well that cant be access from the remote.

    this app is FREE and you are prompted to down load it when you first dock into the DS8550
