iLive Portable Music System iPod Boom Box

Tweet

It’s that time again. Time to showcase yet another iPod docking station. Unless you’ve been under a rock for the past decade, you know that there are practically hundreds of models of iPod docking stations on the market. You have your alarm clock docking stations, your full-sized stereo docking stations, your car docking stations and your portable boom box docking stations. They are pretty much identical in function (docking, recharging, AM/FM radio, yadda, yadda, yadda) and most are available in the typically creative colors of black and white. So what’s an iPod dock-maker supposed to do to differentiate themselves amongst the masses? How about offering them in more than one color? That’s just what iLive has decided to do with their latest iPod boom box Portable Music System.

The iLive Portable Music System is basically an iPod dock in the guise of a curvy portable package. It’s an updated version of the last iLive portable iPod dock and it has all of the requisite features including compatibility with all of the iPod models as well as the ability to actually play and charge them. It even throws in the AM/FM feature for good measure. So why care? I guess if you’re into coordinating your iPod nano with your docking station you might. You see, the iLive Boom Box comes in actual colors. Actually, you can get it in five different colors and don’t worry, they have black and white.

The latest offering from iLive isn’t terribly impressive. It offers a basic set of features with the added option of being able to choose from more than two colors. Its rather feminine look might steer most guys clear, but its price tag won’t leave you reeling. The iLive Portable Music System is available now with a retail price of around $40.
