Though there's already a glut of iPod docks on the market, this classy wall-mountable effort from Marantz looks to have enough to stand out from the crowd.
The IS201 not only comes with a remote handset, but is also compatible with the latest Marantz learnable system remotes. The dock includes an array of connections including stereo phono, S-Video (for an on-screen TV display of your tunes) and RC-5, as well as one for an external power supply which is included in the package.
In addition the IS201 has an IR flasher input and output meaning it can either be controlled by, or control, an AV receiver with IR flasher capabilities. It's also controllable from a PC via an RS232 connection. Compatible with iPod nano, iPod video, iPod mini, iPod photo and iPod, the IS201 will charge your iPod as it plays too.
The Marantz IS201 dock should cost around £99 on its release in June.
