Is Sharp’s New iPod Remote Dock Really Better Than The iPod’s?
You’d think the ship had sailed on any iPod dock gear making news. Aside from the cottage industry for cases, we’ve read so many dock announcements they start to blur together. However, Sharp Friday broke through the banality and the normal eye-on-the-clock mentality of Friday newswriters.
“Sharp DK-AP8P iPhone Dock’s Touch Remote Is 3X Better Than an iPod,” declares Gizmodo.
Just yesterday, Leander described a remote for Altec Lansing’s Mix Boombox for the iPhone worth “its hefty $300 price tag.”
Sure, the DK-AP8P let’s you change the music selected and the glossy-black remote acts as a cover, but three times as useful as the iPod’s own remote? Technically, Giz is correct, since Sharp’s 3 touch wheel-remote does outnumber Apple’s solo touchwheel for the iPod/iPhone.
The DK-AP8P weighs in at 1.6 pounds, lets you recharge your iPod or iPhone while in the integrated dock and costs $189.99.
