Philips' iPod line in the wild, headed for the States


Not much new info here, but if you've been wondering what that slew of iPod-friendly product from Philips looks up in person, CNET has the gallery goods. Turns out they don't look like anything special, but we're still fairly into this BTM630, pictured above. Launching in September for $199, the Bluetooth-equipped dock can stream music from your phone, act as a speakerphone, rip songs from CDs to attached USB drives, and of course blast your iPod tunes if you're feeling mundane. Also sighted were the Philips SJM3151 LCD remote and dock, which hits in September for $199 as well; the $199 AZ1330B iPod boombox; and the AJ300D iPod alarm clock, which is available now for $79. Philips even gave a sneak peak of its upcoming GoGear PMP, which packs a 3.5-inch screen, 4GB of flash memory and 20 hours of battery life -- 5 for video. It'll be out in September for $149.

Philips unveils iPod-friendly Bluetooth speaker stations


Continuing its strange obsession with unveiling products by the flocks, Philips has yet again given us numerous things to juggle at once. This time around it's a trio of iPod-friendly music / AV stations, two of which also include Bluetooth support. The $199 three-piece BTM-628 iPod speaker station conveniently docks and plays your jams from either the DAP or your BT-enabled cellphone, plays back MP3 discs and CDs, shows caller ID and enables handsfree conversations, and also includes a USB port and SD / MMC slot for playing back tunes from a flash card; the BTM-630 steps it up by adding a CD writer that can create MP3 discs from music stored on flash media. The $399 DCD-778 undercabinet system touts an AM / FM tuner, DVD player, ATSC TV tuner, 8.5-inch LCD, flip-down iPod dock, and the ability to play back videos stored on your Apple. Look for these goodies as well as an iPod clock radio to land sometime this fall.
