anyone else think it looks like a little kids toy from the picture?

They could have made it look more modern

OMG. Who designed that thing? Thats terrible.

I can’t believe they are charging $150 for that thing.  There’s nothing else like it on the market, but they seriously need to take that one back to the drawing board and not base their designs off of PlaySchool toys.

i didn’t know the ipod was around in 1986 when that thing was designed.

It just looks so cheaply made. It looks chintzy and low quality. I won’t be buying one.

I wouldn’t buy one ieven if it did look nicer.  Good concept but there’s better ways to do it.  iTrip was mentioned.

What is it with you funny ipod users and your itrips? I can’t get over that. I had a 1g ipod, sold it and bought a crappy Rio Karma and then sold that and got a 3g. I really like the ipod and I consider myself an audiophile. I also am addicted to ipod accessories but can’t bring myself to actually spend money on accessories that sound like crap. Now the iboom? Could i find features that I would have done differently? Sure but it probably sounds much better than any of the InMotion products and it’s functional. I swear, I must have joined an ipod cult or something. I want my accessories to look cool but I care MUCH more about the quality of the sound.

overdue product. This will fill a market demand. I’d like if it had a built in battery that auto-charges whenever plugged in (just like the iPod itself). To me, that’d be a natural feature to include. Also, i asked a sales person at the Chicago Apple Store if they expected to carry the iBoom, and they said they had never heard of the product. Shouldn’t DLO be looking to move a large volume of units through these (and other) outlets during the upcoming holiday shopping season? I know I would. For $150, I want to hear it brfore I spend.

I read an interview with the founder of DLO, he’s done a lot of business with CompUSA.  Perhaps they may be sold there.
I’d just like to see a review of one.  I’m interested in the functionality and I really don’t care about the “fashionability” of the thing.

Looks like i’ll be stopping into a CompUSA outlet to ask. Funny thing about that place, i always have a hard time finding a salesperson who is knowledgable or interesten in selling anything. (my experiance at this one outlet)

As far as “looks”... it looks user friendly. Take a gander at the curent line of boom boxes available today. Most look like the controll panel of a UFO. I’d rather have a well designed user interface than one ment to impress teenagers.

Ok now there are enough ipod specific speaker systems for someone to do a full review. Altec Lansing, Bose, JVC, Dlo. The iboom does intrest me as it’s the first solution with big enough speakers to get some bass response. If only there was a website dedicated to all things ipod who could do the review…...oh wait!

ps. itrip? are you kidding me? you might as well listen to your ipod though a tin can on a string.

I just got my iboom and it sounds great. It’s smaller than i expected, but puts out clear sound and decent bass for it’s size. It also has a line-in jack. It does not sound like crap.
