Philips AJ300D/37 Docking Entertainment System



We here at TUAW are fans of iPod gadgets, and this new Dock/Alarm clock/Speaker system from Philips looks pretty good. It uses 'wOOx' technology to create impressive sound (according to their website) and includes a remote designed for one handed use. In addition it has dual alarm clock and an FM/AM tuner and best of all it only costs $80.

What's the problem? The name is horrible. What possessed Philips to call this thing the AJ300D/37 is beyond me, but a rose by any other name is just as sweet I suppose.

Better and cheaper iPod screens from Philips

Now this I want. At CES 2007, Philips introduced two new iPod gadgets, the DCP750 and the DCP850 which allow you to dock your iPod and watch your video on a 7-inch or 8.5-inch screen. You can use the included car adapter, so you can watch video in your car on these nicely sized screens, or you can use the rechargeable battery (also included) that offers about two plus hours of playtime. When plugged in, your docked iPod will recharge. Both units also allow you to view photos from memory cards and play DVDs. (S)VCDs and DivX-on-disc as well. (There's an onboard DVD player as well as the memory card reader.) Best of all, the units cost $150 or $200. Much better thought out, I think, than the Altec. Here's a link to the press release, but be warned it's a Word doc.

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
