  • toekneebullard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That's a lot of money for a box of speakers.

    I'd rather just buy a 1/8 inch to RCA adapter and plug into the stereo I already have.
  • hasanahmad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That thing is more ugly than anything ive seen from Apple. are they losing thier touch?
  • chicken101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yes, but how do they sound?
  • newmind, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4pretty is the new ugly
  • Akram, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This isn't that much of a rip off. The winner is DEFINENTLY the iPod leather case...at $99....what were they thinking?
  • Computer_Kid, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1it's nothing new!
  • laughterkillsme, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2wow, can't help but be underwhelmed.
  • lane.montgomery, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1BFD

    Do you have pictures of any other steaming piles of crap Jobs has produced lately?
  • berean, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1More over-priced, inferior, trendy, Apple-fanboy-orgasm-material. Bah.
  • verucasalt, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1
    I think I will call it...

    THE BIG UGLY!!!!!!!!

    Hahah, you fools get SO worked up in the Apple hype... And then you are so disappointed...

    And then, months later... YOU DO IT AGAIN!!!

    See you at the next keynote, SUCKERS!
  • macewan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1does seem like a bit of a let down, rather pricey too
  • MrFisty, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2HAL9000 called. He wants his stereo back.
  • MightyGiant, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Well good thing you don't need your eyes to use it.
  • ihybridora, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2i think apple is starting to run out of idea.s
  • mc1123, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Well, at least there's no edges!
  • uptown, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The $99 leather case is nuts. The only thing that could possibly make them worth the price would be if they came stuffed with $20s.

    So are $250 diesel jeans, Italian shows, and spaghetti for 2 by candlelight yet people buy that crap up.

  • uptown, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1A dock on the top of one of these doesn't make sense at all. People put stereos between *****. Sometimes it's in a rack, or with something else on top of this. With this design, they've ensured that you've got no way to use it if that's your setup. Very limited thinking. Crap .... and expensive crap at that.
  • zybch, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Who on earth (other than socophant fanboys) is gonna buy this crap?
  • uc79stu, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1I like the design ... it looks cool.

    For the people who think it is ugly, go play games with your alien inspired PC w/ nice neon lights ;-)
  • rudolphdude, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0Yes cpawl and the people who do that should be pooped on just like the ones who buy 99 dollar overpriced cases for their overpriced ipods.
  • ericpp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1UGLY wtf were they thinking? The ipod sticking out of the top is REALLY tacky!
  • beta1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0ehhh, cool?

    +Digg
  • SpanishBrowne, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1surely the market is already saturated with ipod speaker docks.. that both look good and perform well. Stick to what your good at Apple - accessories aint your thing.
  • mGee, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1"I like the design ... it looks cool.

    Go buy yourself one then. Tool.
  • ZHmike, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The Bose sound dock is $50 less and sounds amazing. Why would anyone buy this thing?
  • Geterix, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2400.00 for an ugly Ghetto Blaster.

    Its sweet watch the fanboys go down in flames today.
  • dFLAWLESS, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I love my Diesal jeans! If I am gonna pay a hundred bucks for a case, it better say Luis Vuitton on it!

    As for the boom box, its price is unfortunately competitive. I think it would look nicer without the grill on the front.
  • dvoddo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Frequency response: 53Hz to 16kHz ± 3 dB

    LMAO!!!!

    What a piece of *****, and apple calls it "audiophile" quality......haha. Same ***** bass response as the iPod itself. Then they even claim its "home stereo, reinvented" LOL, liars.
  • Capta1nA, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i'm really surprised by the lack of wireless in this thing. seems like a "duh" turned "d'oh!"
  • MinnesotaTwins, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I really wanted a portable speaker system, and nothing on the market really catches me right now. This just made everything else look good.

    I also wanted a media mini. What they showed was not what I wanted.

    I am also really hoping for a 13 inch macbook, I just hope I'm not dissapointed with this one too.

    Sounds like someone with neon lights in their PC took that comment to heart.
  • Kryptonitfusion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yeah...thats right no new ipod after all. thats kool because all the proposals sux anyways. no comments on the speakers but the leather case is cool. Now i wonder wat the origami project is gonna be?
  • overrated, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1amongst other things, I've come to expect an aesthetically pleasing product line from apple, they let me down here.
  • fourfive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://www.apple.com/ipodhifi/
  • Elxx, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Come on Apple fanboys, you guys are losing the touch. Start raving about how Apple is innovative. I mean come on, who the heck buys a sound system that looks good and works? That's so 2005. This thing is white and expensive, that's really all you need to shell out your money. Screw features.
  • SuperSunny, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3God I LOVE FANBOYS. No, not apple fanboys. Everyone else who flames apple fanboys. I only own an iPod apple product, I am no fanboy, I use Microsoft Windows, and right now, I am bashing the assholes acting superior because apple released a product that isn't so great. SO WHAT?

    You guys are rediculous, grow ***** up, please.
    Obviously, if you do not have space or wherever to place this, you would NOT buy it. If you like apple, and have the money for it, you WOULD. SIMPLE.

    If you do not like it, hearing your rubble ***** is NOT going to make the world a better place.

    Just to clear confusion, no, this product does not appeal to me. I am no fanboy. I am a person living in a world trying to use stuff.
  • tsupersonic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Apple has set a new with pretty crappy products. The iPod case is a big ripoff. It should come with the more expensive 30 and 60gb standard. It shouldnt cost $99, it should cost like $19.99 - $29.99 The ipod Hi-Fi. Are you kidding me apple? That thing is ugly as hell, and for $350? That's more than all the iPods except one. Overpriced pieces of crap
  • 3recurring, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1"HAL9000 called. He wants his stereo back."

    lolol

    dugg+ for the sheer fact that it's so f*cking awful.
  • verucasalt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2It is spelled *ridiculous* you idiot
  • SPNKrPunk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0>snore<

    I love Apple's design philosophy...but I sure as hell dislike what they just released. The x86 Mac Mini completely destroyed the original purpose of the Mini - get people to switch. Its too damn expensive at $600 and $800!

    The HiFi seems like some sort of internal design abortion. On what planet is that attractive? It looks like some 5 year old's toy box. Couldn't they have released some simplistic wireless speaker system; something you could stuff into a corner and not have to look at?
  • cobr@, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1gay
  • jmholloway, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i love apple design and this thing is ugly.
    what happened, yo?
  • deadbaby, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It's hilarious how everyone here is bitching about prices of the iPod stuff. Market research shows Apple customers are usually very rich -- these products are priced accordingly. It's just like anything else.. if you want a big brand name you'll have to pay. If you don't want to pay, ignore the products and move on with your life.
  • danr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I agree with uptown's comment, this design of the dock on this thing really isn't very good. Consider that a lot of people put smaller sized stereos on their shelves. For this to be functional on a shelf, not only do you need a minimum of a few inches more space height wise than the height of the stereo just to fit it in with the ipod attached, but you'd need even more room to be able to put the ipod in and out (if the stereo just fits w/ ipod on your shelf, there will be no room to remove the ipod, I'm assuming you need to pull up to remove.) Considering this thing's price, I would have expected a better design, maybe a large color LCD built into the box that displays what is on the ipod screen, only larger, as it is hard to read a tiny screen such as on the ipod from across the room. What would have also been nice, as other people have mentioned is built in wifi and/or built in hard drive. Plus, i don't see how trying to take part of the third party accessory market from other smaller companies will really help apple in the long run.
  • uptown, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I obviously haven't heard the new speakers ... but I have listened to all of the other mainstream iPod speaker-sets on the market, and the Klipsch iGroove beats them all hands-down.
  • kolop1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1 If it had a cd player and an FM tuner in it, it may not be so bad. But as you can only use it with an Ipod i think it is stupid. Right now I have my Ipod connected into my stereo and it works just fine.
  • cbdgr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0they could not have made that able to fit in your pocket to?
  • chrism1128, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0Steve Jobs is Gay...
    And this sucks
  • Flankk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Apple's hardware has never made sense to me. Periphials are meant to be kept outside the box, just as speakers should have satilites. Apple has always had a creepy obsession with putting everything in one box. It's not practical. Next the keyboard will be integrated into the iMac. I guess that's where they're moving with their touchscreen technology anyways.
