It doesn’t scream quality (or perhaps the legion of pro stock photographers were all on vacation last week), however the June-bound Avi Stylix does have something that the majority of me-too iPod / iPhone docking stations don’t: an embedded 7-inch LCD. The standard suspects also are here, including a Dock Connector port, twin two-watt speakers, USB port, SD card slot and a bundled remote. The kicker is its ability to stream Netflix, but there’s an obvious catch; you’ll need an iPhone or iPod touch with a live internet connection with the intention to accomplish that. There’s no actual WiFi module built into the foremost unit, so that you’ll ought to depend on your connected device to tug within the content. Still, for $99.99, it’d not be a nasty bet on your guest room. Or your office desk, because you know you aren’t getting any actual work done.
