iHome iP49

The iHome iP29 is an iPhone/iPod portable speaker case cited as being “great for listening to music while at school or work out loud and in style.” An upgrade from the iP29, the iP49 adds along an alarm clock, an FM radio tuner, and a variety of high-end clock radio functions. In addition, the iP49 features a rechargeable lithium ion battery, a digital signal processing BonGiovi Digital Power Station, four Neodymium compression drivers, an equalizer for improved audio prformance, and a fully functional remote control that handles the menu functions for both iPod and iPhones. Contained within a fabric wrapped protective shell (the case), the iP49 can charge one’s iPod or iPhone, keep it protected during travel, and also play music directly from it. The iHome iP49 is slated to drop on the market sometime in 2009. Prices are currently unset.
