The iPod Hi-Fi is an all-in-one speaker system designed for use with iPods. It competed against an already populated market of other all-in-one iPod speakers (Ex: Bose’s SoundDock, Altec Lansing inMotion iM7, JBL On Time). It received mixed reviews, and was discontinued after only 18 months on the market.<br />
<br />
==Features==<br />
<br />
The iPod Hi-Fi can be powered from a standard wall outlet or six D-cell batteries. It has a built in power supply, so no power brick is required for operation. The front grille is detachable. <br />
<br />
The iPod Hi-Fi can be controlled via the included remote. The remote controller is the same model that shipped with the original Apple Universal Dock. <br />
<br />
There is an audio input port located next to the mains power port. It accepts both standard 3.5mm analog stereo TRS and digital optical 'Mini-TOSLINK' connections. <br />
<br />
When inserted into the iPod Hi-Fi, compatible iPods will automatically display full screen album art. <br />
<br />
The unit is also compatible with Apple Universal Dock dock adapters, which can be used to more securely insert iPods into the speaker.<br />
