travel dock

For those of you who liked the Cuby Speaker that I posted last week, here's another portable iPod Shuffle speaker with a few more features. Corega Japan has just come out with these tantalizing mini boombox docks that deliver quality output from their built-in speakers. While playing your tunes, you can connect the dock to your laptop or computer via the included USB port- therefore charging and transferring songs all at the same time. Featured on mobile magazine, the Corega CG-IPSPDC02 is powered with 2 AA batteries and comes in the same five colors as the Shuffle. These speakers are set to hit stores in Japan later this month with a price tag of $30.

The Dr. Bott's USB Travel Dock for iPod shuffle, $19.99, allows you to charge and load your 2G iPod shuffle in a sleek, space-saving USB Travel Dock. It's ideal for traveling or in the office because of its size and its design perfectly matches my MacBook.

While the Shuffle comes with its very own dock that you connect to your Mac or PC, it must be via a USB cord, which means extra cord and space. With the Dr. Bott charger you can charge your iPod and provide up to 480 Mbps data transfer for loading or syncing of your entire music library just by sticking the charger directly into the port.
