iLuv iMM747 speakers tailored just to iPad
iLuv today shipped one of the first speaker docks designed primarily for the iPad. The iMM747 is wide enough to cradle Apple's tablet in portrait view and has a flexible dock connector to more safely guide the larger iOS hardware into its spot. It can sync an iPad to a nearby computer through a USB pass-through and yet has enough power to charge as though it were a pure AC adapter.
The dock doesn't have a clock, FM radio or other features of its own without apps, but it does have an aux-in jack to take audio from any other 3.5mm headphone output. iLuv won't list the sound output power but does put a subwoofer in for better bass response.
Orders should ship before mid-October, when the iMM747 will cost $150.
