If you love the convenience of your iPhone but miss having a large slab of bakelite on your shoulder while gabbing, your angst is over. This retro-style dock marries a polished oak and brass base, an iPhone dock, and a bluetooth-equipped handset to allow you to experience a century of telecommunications in one fell swoop.
The handmade dock fits all iPhones and most iPods, routing the USB cable out the rear. The bluetooth enabled handset sports a blue LED to show when its in use, and a coiled-wire version is said to be in development (for even more retro goodness). Available for $72 on Etsy, only one is available now but orders are being taken.
This could be the perfect gift for my grandmother, who would probably leave her iPhone permanently on the dock anyhow!
