Now available for under $100—$400 less than the Polk Audio I-Sonic ES2—Jensen has released the second HD Radio-equipped speaker dock for iPod. The JiMS-525 Docking Digital HD Radio System for iPod combines a top-mounted iPod dock with AM/FM/HD Radio tuning, stereo speakers, an LCD display, dual alarm clocks, and a remote control. Though it carries a suggested retail price of $160, the JiMS-525 is surprisingly already available for as little as $90, as it is already set for replacement by an updated model, JiMS-525a, which will add iTunes Tagging functionality and iPhone compatibility. This updated model will likely sell for closer to the prior model’s full retail price.

Hmm, this actually might be a nice replacement for my iHome clock radio if it actually works with the iPhone without interference (or having to switch to Airplane mode). So is this HD radio stuff any good anyway? Just wondering if it is worth it.
