Polk Audio strikes another deal, winds up in Apple Stores

by Darren Murph posted Feb 6th 2008 at 2:10AM

Directed Electronics' president and CEO Jim Minarik isn't letting Polk Audio sit idly while rivals make a push to get all up in your grille -- oh no. Just days after the firm announced that its products would be hitting Best Buy later this year, now it's proudly proclaiming that Polk's logo will also be seen in Apple Stores this March. In particular, consumers will notice Polk Audio's I-Sonic Entertainment System 2 (ES2), which is hailed as the "world's first product" to feature iTunes tagging for HD Radio. Curiously, there's no word as to whether any other Polk items will show up in Apple Stores, but we suppose we've only got a month or so to find out.

I hope these are as good or better than the JBLs. I still miss Apple's HiFi though. Wonder when they'll bring that back.

Anyone else notice how close polkaudio is to PulseAudio and how similar ES2 is to ESD?
