Argh... Apple does it again! They launched a new toy called the IPod Hi-Fi. Looks simple and yet so stylish. Anyone with any idea how much will it cost and roughly when will it arrive on our shores?

biase la... i think this really looks like an ordinary but the price is a real .... bad thing

i think it'll be cheaper than the bose speakers
from the looks of it,this is better looking and might be better
look at those subs
savin money for it

WOW! USD349 ain't cheap. It's gonna costs at least RM1300 here. At that price, I can buy a reasonably good hifi. Just curious though. Apple mentioned that the IPod Hi-Fi can be carried around powered by batteries. However, how is the IPod gonna hold itself to place. Won't it like drop out?

For those who haven't seen it yet, here's a picture of it. Argh... Still droolng over it.

Err... you can keep the iPod in your pocket first right?

Haha... Good one. But what I meant is carrying it playing music. You know like those rapster on the streets.

won't that be too big to be carried around.... especially on the local streets....

Haha... True also. But just wondering lo, since they said it can be powered using batteries. Maybe they meant duing black out. Hehehe...

I hope it is as good or exceeds the quality of the BOSE SoundDock because it is $50 more expensive than the BOSE. Its already selling at the Apple online shop.

Will prefer to actually look at it first before deciding. Need to know the build and sound quality.

Lol, its a center speaker, end of story. Buy it if you want to know what mono sounds like.

haha.... very true.....

erm... u guys think this fella will blast ppl away???
i dun think so...

the looks may give the impression.... performance.... i don't dare to speculate.....

to blast ppl away..... you'll need something more sinister than those FOH speakers....

I know it won't blast people away, but at least Apple finally created something for people to listen to their IPod music using a speaker dock system instead of having to rely on other brands like Bose, Klipsh, etc... Besides, not many hifi system out there provide support for IPod for the time being.

I bet you have not listened to the BOSE SoundDock right? You will be amazed by what a speaker with that kind of similar speaker setup can do. The Hi-Fi is a direct competitor to the SoundDock, please give it a listen before you even try to judge.

Seriously i would prefer third party solutions rather than apple products... lol... People just pay too much for the look... Sigh, in fact most of these people can't really differentiate between price and quality... most people thought that nice looking and expensive must come with good quality... but with apple products... it is something that is seriously lacking...

totally agree with that these guys say:
