iLuv iMM190 uses iPhone or iPod to handle time
iLuv this afternoon began shipping its one-of-a-kind iMM190 App Station speaker dock. The single-piece unit provides a potentially cheaper alternative by using an attached iPhone or iPod touch for more advanced functions. A free iLuv App Clock (App Store) serves as an alarm clock that can wake up the owner, play music without interrupting the display, and provide weather.
The speaker can sit both on its side or upright to accommodate the iPhone or iPod in a different orientation. Although intended most often for the bedside, it's also fully portable and can run entirely on six AA batteries, although its lifetime off of AC hasn't been rated. An aux-in jack gives the iPod shuffle and other non-docking players a way to use the App Station's sound.
iLuv ships the App Station in black for $90.
