Nifty in principle -- I'm not sold on the idea of the headphone jack supporting the whole thing.
It'd be cool to have a wired version that worked with the dock connector so it could power them too.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah. But I think it'd be OK with the weight of a Nano.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I was going to ask - any suggestions for good docking station/speaker combos? I like the iHome, but my wife doesn't want to have a clock radio by the bed, because . . . . Well, just because.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Basically the Bose [link] rocks but is pricey. JBL [link] is great too. I wasn't thrilled with the Altec.

I have a friend who as the Bose and loves it. I believe she found it slightly cheaper at an outlet mall.

Yeah, I really love the Bose. It's also got a remote which it very very useful though it wasn't a feature I would have thought about before purchase.
I know Kristin has a Bose too. I think I know that other audiophile Buffistas do as well.

I've just tested the region-free hack for my Philips DVP642 (7-8-9-OK-0 with the tray open), and can confirm that it works beautifully! We can now play the Spaced DVDs that DH's brother bought us from England. Woot!
[eta that I did have to reset the video input to Component afterwards, but defaulting back to S-video seems to be something that this model does whenever anything else changes.]

I've been given the task of doing the research for a family member who wants satellite radio for Christmas. He'll be using it mostly in his small pickup and he drives a lot. Anyone have any experience with this?

My dad has XM (in his car and another dock in the house), and he loves it.
