Well they had me fooled, all those other gadgets out there that claimed to be for the iPod, I really thought that was there purpose. Luckily there is an official Made for iPod license to weed out all those other inferior gadgets and this speaker dock is the first to get the official seal/stamp of approval.
It’s water and dust resistant and ready for the great outdoors. It has a watertight door to enclose your iPod and rubberized contours. It can use batteries or a charger and has a handy rear carrying handle.
If you just can’t resist this official iPod gadget you can pick one up for around $130. I have to say it though, it’s not very aesthetically pleasing.

You say “this speaker dock is the first to get the official seal/stamp of approval”. Sorry but that’s wrong.
It is true that Apple provide support to manufacturers who sign up to their Made for iPod licence, and that helps them make a better product. Also, only Made for iPod licencees can access the official iPod 30 pin connector – they actually have to be ordered via Apple.
But there are many other Made for iPod products that pre-date this one – it’s certainly not the first. But it might be the first slash-proof and dust-proof model…
