iPod Hi-Fi

So I treated myself to an iPod Hi-Fi speaker, as a way of solving my living room's sound problem. Since I don't own a good stereo, the ultimate solution would involve investing in some nice speakers and a good amp and finding room in my tiny place to lay all that stuff out in a way conducive to good vibrations. These days I have neither the time nor the will to educate myself in this department, so after much hesitation, I decided to just do the practical thing.




Sure, it's not a high-end stereo, and my audiophile friends will make fun of me, but this thing is exactly what I needed: it's practical (just one wire, not very big, easily moved around by its handles), looks good (classic Apple minimalism) and sounds great (for my needs, and the music I listen to). It's been a non-stop dance party here since I brought this baby in.

It's a bit pricier than comparable competing products (like Bose's SoundDock and others) but I think it's worth it, since this one looks and sounds better than any of them. Picked it up at FutureShop for $375+tax which I find reasonable for what you get.

Bottom line: this thing is fun!
