New Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge iPod integration

Mopar has expanded the availability of its factory-engineered iPod Integration Kits for most Chrysler vehicles, enabling more Chrysler, Jeep, and Dodge vehicle owners to experience built-in iPod functionality. The audio integration system was launched in early 2006, providing direct connectivity between an iPod and a vehicle's audio sound system. Drivers can browse iPod playlists using the audio system or built-in steering wheel controls. Specifically engineered to interface with select model year 2006 and newer Chrysler, Jeep, and Dodge vehicle electronics, the iPod Integration Kits are available for purchase and installation at Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge dealerships across the U.S.

Logitech previews X-240 speakers for iPod

Logitech today previewed its X-240 speaker set, a unique approach to the problem of tethering handhelds to their host computers, according to Electronista. "The central control unit of the system, while providing quick access to volume controls, also incorporates a universal cradle that charges and synchronizes most handhelds through a USB connection to the host Mac or Windows PC." The report says that special adapters are included for third, fourth, and fifth-generation iPods as well as the iPod nano and Microsoft's Zune; the X-240's dock also works with cellphones, PDAs, and other portable hardware. The 2.1-channel system delivers 25W of sustained power and will ship in April for $50.
