Macworld Expo San Francisco, CA - January 10, 2006 --
Non-Apple remote control and universal dock for iPod on display at Macworld Expo
|
Keyspan announced its new AV Dock for iPod and AV Remote for iPod. The feature-packed dock and wireless remote for iPod provide a simple and convenient way to enjoy iPod music, photos or videos on a stereo or TV. They are on display in booth #1049 at Macworld Expo.
The AV Dock for iPod provides an easy and affordable way to connect the iPod to a computer, stereo or TV. The dock enables a user to:
- Connect the iPod to a PC or Mac in order to sync or charge the iPod*
- Connect the iPod to a stereo or powered speakers using the line out jack
- Connect the iPod to a TV using the S-Video jack
- Charge the iPod from an AC outlet using the USB Power Adapter
- Control the iPod from around the house with the optional AV Remote
The Keyspan AV Dock for iPod conforms to Apple's "universal dock" design. Simply pop in a dock adapter to perfectly fit any iPod with a dock connector, including click wheel iPods, the iPod mini, the iPod nano and the iPod with video.
The package includes a USB power adapter, USB cable, audio cable (3.5mm stereo to dual RCA) and three dock adapters. Priced at an MSRP of $49, the AV Dock for iPod will be available in both white and black versions and will be released in February.
The AV Remote for iPod is used in conjunction with the AV Dock to wirelessly control iPod music, video, audiobooks, and photos from across the room or from around the house. While many competitors offer remotes with as few as five or six functions, the AV Remote for iPod features a sleek, 16 function design.
The AV Remote for iPod features wireless RF connectivity with a range of 60 feet or more. Unlike IR remotes available from many other brands, the AV Remote works through walls and furniture. Priced at an MSRP of $29, the AV Remote for iPod will be available in both white and black versions and will be released in February.
"Keyspan has offered award-winning remote controls for the Mac and PC for over six years. We've applied our expertise in remote controls to offer new solutions for iPod users," noted Mike Ridenhour, president at Keyspan. "From a price-feature standpoint, the Keyspan AV Dock and AV Remote compare very favorably with docks and remotes now available from other suppliers."
