A speaker, amplifier, transmitter/receiver and an iPod dock rolled into one neat package, the PDX-50 from Yamaha is quite an interesting gizmo. If you look at it holistically, that is! The dock connector is designed to play music wirelessly with the help of a remote controller. Bluetooth-enabled The PDX-50 plays the radio over the proprietary 2.4GHz wireless band. The most interesting feature of course is the wide array of iPod attaching units, ranging from vehicle stands and sideways docks to ring-shaped charging units.
Pricing and Availability: The Yamaha PDX-50 will be available in Japan starting December for a price tag of 30,000 Yen ($285).
Watch This: We have come across quite a few dock options for the ubiquitous iPod. Sadly, most of them flattered to deceive, showing obvious stereotypical characteristics. The PDX-50 makes an attempt to cut through the clutter with superficial additions, but requires a lot more than just that to woo buyers.
