The iPod’s environment consists of a plethora of accessories but one of the most popular forms is the iPod Dock. Although there are iPod docks that come in a large variety of shapes and sizes with all kinds of features there are some that stand out. There are may already be quite a few iPod compatible car stereo systems but nothing like this so far. The XML8110 Mechless Mobile Audio system combines a full fledged iPod docking station with a car stereo. From the front the system looks like any car stereo till it’s flipped down to expose a well integrated universal iPod dock (not for the shuffle). The dock, like all others, will also charge the device while connected. It allows users to access the all playlists and music stored on the device. The stereo system also comes with a built in FM radio, EQ presets and an AUX In for connecting other devices. The system will also allow users to take calls from their iPhone and with a corresponding iPhone application that’s also in the works, the integration between these two devices would only be better.
The XML8110 is priced at just $99. This relatively well priced iPod dock is all well and good but the down side with this model is that it doesn’t have regular plain old CD player or US port, well you can’t have everything.
