iPod To Get an iDock?
By Remy Davison, Insanely Great Mac
September 30th 2002
iPod may move out of the cradle.
Spymac reports that Apple is in the "early stages" of developing a docking device for
the iPod.
Apparently, the dock would be similar to some iPod cradles already on the market. As
the article notes, BookEndz dock provides both audio and FireWire ports.
Little information is available regarding what type of functionality an iDock might
add to the iPod.
Analysis: There's probably too little in Spymac's report to glean much from this, but
the possibilities are intriguing. An iPod dock would be a natural for BlueTooth
connectivity, where you could simply beam your iCal stuff or address book from your
rumored Apple iPhone over to your iPod without the intervention of your Mac. Or maybe
even a USB port for printing out text messages or a calendar from your iPod. If the
plethora of mini and micro docks which sprang up to service the PowerBook Duo are any
indication, the possibilities might be infinite.
