George iPod Tabletop Radio with Detachable Remote

Okay Apple fans, prepare yourself for the avalanche of new iPod accessories that will be revealed at Macworld. This iPod docking speaker and radio system has an interesting feature which sets it apart from the rest: a detachable remote that duplicates iPod functionality. With the remote you can leave the tabletop unit on the the other side of the room (where it will presumably sound better), and yet still access your iPod music with the familiar interface as well as tune radio stations. The main downsides are the price (~$550) and the rather silly name: George. Nonetheless, check out the somewhat over the top video on the Chestnut Hill Sound site, and check out the unit itself next week at Macworld.
