I thought the iBeam looked pretty cool and would make a nice companion to my iMac, what with the design seeming to be the right heigh to puyt it in front of the computer without obscuring the screen (at least when the iPod’s not in the dock). But the system doesn’t seem to have a USB out to the computer for synching. What is the deal. This is not a cheap system and though it does have a nice design (who knows about the sound but at least it would be better than the iMacs built in speakers I’m using now) it is ridiculous that it doesn’t come with something so basic. Once again, Im assuming it doesnt have this because the website and manual don’t mention any synching capability. If anyone knows otherwise, please say.
