Are you ready to dock?

Fwd Tech  Thursday 16 April 2009

Are you ready to dock? Ion Audio's Tailgater: A speaker dock that looks like a speaker. Genius!

Remember when iPod docks all used to look like car grilles then something crazy happened and designers were coming up with weird blimp and orb-shaped systems? Well, now it seems the fad is to design the iPod speaker like a… speaker! Crazy! That’s what Ion Audio has done with its Tailgaiter iPod dock.

The Ion Audio Tailgaiter iPod dock actually looks like one of those speakers you get at concerts. You know the ones – the sort that gets kicked over by over-enthusiastic rockers just before they jump head first into the crowd.

Anyway, we digress. The Tailgaiter is compatible with amy iPod, including both the Touch and iPhone, it has inputs for mics or other instruments, shold you fancy doing a bit of karaoke, and even has an integrated battery that’ll last for up to eight hours, so you can take your tunes on tour. Not sure having the entire Celine Dionne back catalogue will do anything for your rock image though…
