iPod Docking and Travel Speakers

I saw a cool ring-shaped speaker thing for the iPod at Best Buy last weekend. It's from JBL. Turns out there is a new version shipping soon.

The new one includes a remote, and some have said it's even a really good remote ("based upon Griffin Technology's excellent RF radio-based AirClick," according to iLounge's downloadable iPod Book). So I think I will wait for the JBL On Stage II.

The trick is to buy something I can chuck into my checked luggage when I travel -- so I can have some REAL music in the hotel room!

In April, Walt Mossberg said the original JBL On Stage sounded "almost as good as" the $299 Bose iPod setup, which is sweet as can be, but too large to travel with.

Like the JBL ring setup, the Bose SoundDock recharges the iPod while it sits there and plays. Yes!
