JVC Rolls Out NX-PN7 Dual iPod Dock (Yes, It Holds Two iPods)


JVC was showing off its NX-PN7 dual iPod dock way back at a CES at the beginning of this year, but it looks like it's just now gotten its act together and finally pushed the thing out the door. It doesn't seem like much has changed in the ensuing months, however, with the dock still boasting the same ability to not only charge two iPods (or iPhones) at the same time, but playback each one through the unit's speakers or have each one go off at two separate times with the tune of your choice.

Otherwise, you can rest assured that you'll be getting the usual FM tuner, as well as a standard analog audio input for your non-Apple audio devices and a video output for some larger screen viewing of your iPod's contents. If that sounds like just the dock you've been waiting for, you can snag one now for $150.

Mothers Day Gift Guide: Boston Acoustics Horizon



Boston Acoustics' new Horizon radios have "Mom" written all over them. The Horizon comes in two models: a mono model (Horizon Solo, $99.99), and a stereo model with built-in iPod dock (Horizon Duo-I, $199.99) -- both have a built-in AM/FM tuner. The Horizon radios have a clean, light visual design: rather than the being stuck with the usual gunmetal/black/gray color options, moms can customize the look of their radio with optional metal grilles in different home-decor-matching colors: Glacier, Rosebud (pictured), Onyx, Pearl Gray, Caramel, Chocolat, Spanish Moss, Olive, Red Hot, and Chili Pepper are all available.

10 Least Useful iPod Accessories


Okay, so the all-singing, all-dancing iPod is great for many things: Listening to music, watching movies, and ... well, that's kinda it, actually. But, like any social phenomenon, the iPod has had its fair share of exploitation by various corporate hangers-on.

So the folks at Cracked have compiled a list of the least useful iPod accessories money can (but really shouldn't) buy, ranging from an iPod breathalyzer to a hyper-uglifying bulletproof iPod case. But the worst bang for our collective buck? It's a toss-up between the SongThong (pictured above), which was seemingly designed solely on account of the fact that the names rhymed, and the PodShave/PodShaveLady, which was designed solely on account of some designer's deep psychological delusions. Cracked succinctly summarizes the device for us:

"Great for morons and camping enthusiasts, the PodShave and PodShaveLady are electric razor attachments that utilize your iPod's battery. It costs $41.05, and supposedly can both suck up your stubble as it shaves it off, and allow you to listen to your music as you shave."

If someone gives you any of these as a gift, immediately disavow them as friends and move on with your life.

Life-Sized Inflatable iPod Boombox Could Scare Kids


Quick, imagine everything that you love about your iPod. The small size, the style, the convenience -- all fantastic attributes right? Well, imagine a device that's exactly the opposite and you are left with the iBig Box.

The iBig Box is a very large inflatable boombox that has an iPod dock and felt control buttons. It is large and bulky and completely defeats the purpose of owning modern technology. (Sorry, but it's true.) Did we mention that it costs $60? There have been worse ideas, but $60?

There is a chance that people will buy this to impress and/or placate their small children, but we think hiring a clown to perform would have the same emotionally-scarring effect. Enjoy, and you're welcome.

Underwear That Plays Music


These days, pretty much everything -- from cars to jackets to small farm animals -- has become MP3-friendly. The latest example of the digital music ubiquity is the new iBoxer from Play Underwear.

Available in both mens' and womens' designs, the iBoxer features a small pocket on the left hip that gently cradles your MP3 player of choice so you can frolic freely -- Tom-Cruise-except-in-boxer-briefs-style -- without the burden of actually having to hold your player. The iBoxer is 93% cotton and 7% spandex and is available in a myriad of colors. The price for these beauties? $22.

For now, the iBoxer is the most intimate representation of the human-MP3 relationship. One can only imagine where this gaudy love affair will go from here.

Numark iDJ2


Got a DJ in your life? Here's the perfect gift: The recently-upgraded Numark's iDJ2 improves upon the original by bringing some of its more advanced functions from CD DJ units to this iPod docking DJ station. With some fancy technical maneuvering, Numark has been able to allow DJs to play and mix two songs simultaneously from a single iPod via the central color LCD display. With a complete line of inputs including USB, RCA, S-video, and phono, the iDJ2 can handle almost any stereo/digital input as well as output. The unit lists for $900, but can be had for considerably less online. Either for the professional DJ or the home stereo iPod fan, the iDJ2 provides the connectivity and portability they both need.
