When most homes have so many iPod docks there’s invariably one being used as a doorstop, it takes lots of innovation to flog a new one to the hundreds. Will Sony’s SRS-V500IP thermos-speaker-like dock work? Undoubtedly, no.
While it’s not actually a thermos sitting within the dock (I know, disappointing right?), the design is equally as barmy-the cylindrical speaker is usually removed from the dock and used in a drink tray in a car, while connected to an iPod. Otherwise, the little docking station is for more private use, with the speaker unit projecting audio in 360-degrees owing to that cylinder-like design.
I hardly think the arena is crying out for something as confusing-looking as it truly is-it-a-thermos-is-it-not, especially one who costs $240. [ AudioCubes via CultOfMac ]
