Sony bites the bullet, releases Made for iPod music systems

Posted in: audio, ipod, Music, sony, speaker, speakers, Today's Chili

Sony, the debatable kind of proprietary formats, has finally caved. Well, at least in this one instance, anyway. In a presumed confession that Apple’s music players actually are somewhat popular, it is releasing the iPod / iPhone-friendly CMT- LX20i micro shelf system, CMT- LX20i clock radio and MHC-EC99i mini boombox (pictured above). Not a whole lot left to say other than they also play CDs, tell time and rattle windows, respectively. For pricing and release details — including a word or two on the new Muteki systems — hit up the read link.

ASUS officially launches iPod-friendly AIR3 internet radio

Posted in: ASUS, audio, radio, speaker, speakers, Today's Chili

Not that this debut is anything shocking (thanks, FCC!), but we’re still stoked to see ASUS get all official with its AIR3 sound system. Sure, it’s not exactly treading on new ground, but for those looking for a touch more functionality in their iPod sound system, the internet radio inclusion is one that’s much appreciated. ASUS talks pretty big about the device’s audio prowess, noting that it utilizes a Texas Instruments Class-D amplifier and HDSS (High Definition Sound Standard) certified drivers. Also of note, the unit includes S-Video / composite video outs and supports UPnP sharing via 802.11b/g WiFi or Ethernet; if that’s not enough to catch your eye, there’s also a useful auxiliary input and built-in weather forecast display that pulls down updates from the world wide web. As ASUS always does, we’re left hangin’ sans a price or release date, but we suppose it’s teaching us a lesson in patience… or something.
