Sonance has devised a novel way to seamlessly integrate your iPod into your home audio multi-room set up, with the announcement of the iPort in-wall docking station.
The iPort is designed to let you enjoy your iPod's music and photo collection throughout the entire home and is compatible with the iPod Photo, iPod Mini and 4th Generation iPod (the one with the push buttons in the click wheel, 40GB, 20GB only). The included wallplate is said to allow the iPort to connect and play through practically any local or whole-home audio system and furthermore, the iPod's much-maligned battery life isn't a problem either, as the DC power supply (also included) charges the iPod while it is docked in the iPort. Another useful feature is that the iPort provides the electronic interface for audio, control, and power signals, so that your iPod will now respond to both remote control and standard front panel operating commands.
Such convenience comes at a price however, with the iPort retailing at a hefty £650. More information can be found at www.sonance.com
