Advantages: Wireless, uses radio frequency instead of infra red, has a clip Disadvantages: Larger than wired remote, adds 2cm to top of iPod for receiver
Introduction
--------------------
I had been using the standard wired iPod remotecontrol with my 3rd gen 40GB iPod, but after it breaking and searching for a new one, I came across the Griffin Airclick.
It looked very good using radio frequency instead of infrared (so you don't need line of sight to control it) and having a clip with velcro strap so I can attach it to the handlebars of my bike.
There is also a USB version of the AirClick, which can control a PC/Mac, but this review is for the iPod version.
Purchasing
--------------------
Since the particular version of the remote I purchased is discontinued, it is only available used. I brought mine from a well known auction site for just under £10 delivered.
Design
--------------------
It is a small glossy white remote, which matches the iPod. There is ...
Advantages: Superb Sound, Very Loud, Ideal for Ipods Disadvantages: not go to travel with, Extremely Expensive
Bose SoundDockDigital Music System
I happened to get this as a gift and it turned out to be quiet interesting
Summary:
This dock is used mainly for ipod and allows you to connet mp3 players to it and listen to high quality music via speakers. It is idle for homes and small gatherings, although I would not run a party off these.
Pros:
This system has terrific sound and can go very load despite its relative small size. As with almost all Bose speakers the quality is amazing, so long as the source you are playing it from is high quality it will allow the speakers to each its potential.

Advantages: Looks good, Sound quality is FANTASTIC Disadvantages: Does not take batteries - has to be plugged in
I purchased the bose sounddock on a recent trip to the USA needless to say it was a lot cheaper out there i paid about £150. It's small and fairly lightweight: 6.65" H x 11.91 W x 6.48" D (16.89cm x 30.26 x 16.47cm) 4.56lbs (2.1kg)
It comes with credit card sized waterproof remotecontrol which comes in really useful if you want to use it in the bathroom!!! The sound quality is amazing, especially considering it's coming out of something so small, crystal clear and very loud, and does not distorte when turned up.
From the remote it can be turned up and down skip forwards and backwards play and pause and from the sound dock itself it can just be turned up and down. The remotecontrol takes 1 3volt lithium battery which apparently lasts between 1 and 2 years (but i've not had it long enough to know if thats correct!)
It comes with 5 ...
