Manufacturer's product description
Leave it to the makers of the first iPod speaker system to come up with a mini-theater solution for the home that's this good! The Altec Lansing inMotion iMV712 features crystal-clear sound delivered by two specially engineered, 3-inch neodymium speakers and a built-in, 4-inch, side-firing subwoofer plus a large, 8.5-inch high resolution widescreen display. It's really convenient for charging your iPod video. It features an enhanced wireless remote for iPod navigation. And it's compatible with any dockable iPod or most other portable media players with the included adaptor. Experience your iPod video in a whole new light with the iMV712.
Miscellaneous

Advantages: Portable and lightweight Disadvantages: You have to be very careful with them.

Customer Service

Every time I have rang the company they have been very polite and helpful to somebody who is on their fourth set of speakers and I have not had to wait hours in a queue listening to music with the occasional "please hold". Another plus is the fact that the call centre is not based in India and so you a helped by an experienced customer service team who knows...
