Since we’re on the iPod beat, here’s IMJ’s iLuv line of docking speakers and boomboxes, which really are rather attractive.
There are three new models in a choice of black or white. The iLuv-i177 speakers have a small LCD display, clock, AM/FM radio and an alarm for ¥14,800. Fits iPod gens 3-5, nanos, minis and shuffles. The 1.13kg unit is 302.3 x 171.5 x 76.2mm, the speakers bleat out 3W x 2Ch and you also get a snooze function.
The iLuv-i552 is almost identical but has a carry handle for some takeaway nerdiness. It fits the same iPod models, comes with a clock, the AM/FM radio, etc. but is a bit bigger at 360.6 × 155 × 190.5mm and a touch lighter (1.09kg) than its snooze-happy cousin. That strip of plastic across the top will cost you, because this model’s ¥2,000 more expensive.
Finally, the iLuv-i188 docking speaker has a bit more boost at 3W x 4Ch, while being less bulky at 190.5 × 108 × 140mm and 490g. Fits gens 3-5, nano and mini and costs ¥6,980. All are on sale at the beginning of August.
