The B&W Zeppelin Mini is a miniature iPod/iPhone docking station released in September 2009 as a compact version of the original Zeppelin (2008). It is compatible (play/charge) with classic and nano iPod models AND all iPhone models. The Mini also plays earlier iPod models, but does not recharge them. Its signature component is its digital signal processing (DSP) technology, which handles digital input from one’s iPod or iPhone directly—therefore resulting in higher quality and more pure sound, especially versus conventional analogue stations. Plus, the unit also hosts a USB connection for pulling audio directly from a PC, as well as syncing one’s iPod or iPhone with iTunes to add more playlists, access applications, or configure calendars. It doesn’t end there though, as the Zeppelin Mini also sports a rear auxiliary port for even hooking up an external CD/DVD or MP3 player. Suffice it to say, the Mini can handle practically any device that plays music or sound.
