Yamaha kicks out TSX-W80, TSX-70 iPod docks / clock radios
It may not go to eleven, but Yamaha’s new TSX-W80 iPod dock at least pack some knobs that you’ll no doubt be tempted to turn all the way up, and just the right blend of retro good looks and newfangled technology to stand out in a crowded field. That includes a so-called AirWired cradle that’ll let you use your iPod or iPhone as a remote, a dock on the main unit itself to charge your iPod, and a choice of three different colors (with matching LED displays) to suit your style. Those looking for something a bit more simple and less eye-catching can also opt for Yamaha’s new TSX-70 model (pictured after the break), which drops the AirWired controller but hangs onto the standard iPod dock and all the basic clock radio functionality you’d expect. No word on a release over here just yet, but it looks like both should be available in Japan shortly.

B&W Zeppelin Mini iPod speaker dock available for pre-order on Amazon
The B&W Zeppelin Mini was made public just the other day and you’re the type of person with $400 to spend on an iPod dock, you may want to head over to Amazon. The dock is currently up for preorder which means you can plop down your $400 to ensure you’re the first in your affluent circle to rock out Sufjan Stevens. $400!
You may wanna hold your money until I get a chance to look at it though. I wanna like it just because it’s a B&W device, but something tells me that it’s not going to live up to its pedigree. But then again, most B&W owners don’t care what others think anyway and could probably buy charge one of these for each room in their McMansions.
