So Steve Jobs reckons he'd choose the Apple Hi-Fi over a real one? Don't make me laugh! I've heard one and didn't think much of it - convenient maybe, but no great shakes for sound. I'm intrigued by the Jamo now though - what sort of connections has it got?

The connections are a pretty basic affair Martin. These docks are designed specifically for iPod integration so all you'll find round the back of the Jamo is the speaker ports, the ac adapter port, a port to connect the dock and an Auxilary in case you want to connect a (gasp)non iPod mp3 player or indeed anything else (laptop, discman, minidisc etc).

£300 for an iPod dock? That seems a hell of a lot to me.

You can by a half decent mini-system and a 3.5mm audio lead for much less than that!

That makes sense - maybe peeps are getting too carried away with all this iPod hype. Do they do a lead like that that will connect to an iPod?

You could just connect your iPod to any old hi-fi via the iPod's headphones socket using a 3.5mm jack lead. Ok so you don't get remote control and the ability to charge your iPod like these docks do, but you'll be saving a lot of money.

Does anyone know what the max length would be for extending the Ipod av cable using a composite video cable to a TV. I need to have an 8m total cable

When you hear the sound from the Jamo you will want to get rid of your hifi system - the sound is outstanding and you can use it as a surround sound system too.
