Philips' Mini HiFi System lets you dock iPhones, spins them into turntables

The iDevice clique’s had no shortage of options when it comes to choosing DJ-friendly gear. Now one of the latest peripherals to enter the spinning market is Philips’ Mini Hi-Fi System, which boasts a modest 300W total output power and offers a cozy turntable canvas that has docking room for a couple of iPhones — in theory, iPod touches should be okay to fit as well.

Philips launched this Mini Hi-Fi add-on a while back, but today it’s finally placing it up for grabs in the UK for a hefty £300, or about $470 if you’re this side of the Atlantic.
