Altec Lansing inMotion iM3 Speaker System

Altec Lansing's inMotion iM3 allows you to plug your Apple iPod directly into it giving your digital audio player external speakers.

Quote from the review:

“White plastic is everywhere! Seriously, you can’t toss a dead video card out your window anymore without hitting someone with an iPod strapped to his or her hip. Apple’s ubiquitous hard-drive-based personal music player is now intricately woven into the fabric of pop culture. And this fact has, of course, spawned a wave of aftermarket add-ons and clip-ons… in oceans of pristine bone-white PVC.

Altec Lansing has not excluded themselves from jumping on the bandwagon with the likes of Belkin and Bose. Should you find yourself in need of a set of external speakers for your precious palm-topped musical gigabytes, take a gander at Altec’s inMotion iM3 portable audio system. But is it worthy of wearing the white?”

*Edited 12/19/04 –  The Altec Lansing inMotion iM3 and Bose iPod SoundDock are similar products, so we recommend you read reviews on both before spending your money.

*Edit 12/19/04 – A reader wrote in to let us know that the Altec Lansing inMotion iM3 is actually priced around $179, not $299 as we previously reported. There is a pricing issue going on with the Tech Lounges website. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused. And a big thanks for pointing this out to us!
