Dana Innovations, parent company of Sonance, maker of the iPort in-wall iPod interface for home music systems, has announced the formation of its new iPort division. The Sonance name will apparently not be used for its iPod products going forward.
“The new brand, which plans to capitalize on the explosive growth and market dominance of the iPod music player, will have its own development, sales, and marketing team, and will be lead by company chairman and co-founder, Scott Struthers,” Dana said in a statement. “The team plans to introduce a full line of iPort branded product in the near future.”

As neat as the in-wall solutions look, I can imagine them looking like 8-Track players in the not so distant future.
