I want one! Anybody know where they are available this minute. I am going on a two month trip to China Aug. 30. I must have one before then.

How is the sound on the original Altec Lansing InMotion-speakers?
They look good, but are bloody expensive. Are they worth the price???

They sound okay. Just like a regular boom box. I haven’t noticed any “better” sound to justify the price.

The sound is excellent considering the size. Well worth buying if you travel a lot. If it’s just going to sit on your desk, get a set of powered speakers and use it with a dock for a much cheaper version of the same thing.
Anyone know where these new ones are available right now?

I have the inMotion set for the full-sized iPod and if the jacks on the back of this set for the mini iPod speaker set are the same, I hope they have fixed the problem with the dock-out connector, which leaves the iPod in place, connected to the speakers, for connecting to your Mac to do a FireWire iTunes update or data synch. This port *does not work* as it is supposed to. You will either experience extremely slow file transfer from iTunes to the iPod OR the connection will not work at all and will lock up both the iPod and your computer, forcing a restart. I’ve experienced both problems and as a result, I will not even attempt to synch the computer with iPod docked in this speaker set, I’ll remove it first to do the updating. That is my ONLY complaint with the inMotion speaker set, quality of audio is terrific for the size of the speakers. I just wish it had a built-in FM radio as well, then it would be perfect.
Also, I’m not the only one to have problems with the docking out port in the back. Dan Frakes, who reviewed this speaker set for TidBITS, also had the same problem I did.

Concerning the dock connection problem that bjbear71 has, is there any solution to it? I’ve tried Altec’s website but can’t find anything. Just to tell, my pc cant even recognise the inMotion.
