When I first saw that this
iSymphony Boombox was
iPod compatible, I assumed that you could dock your iPod directly on it. Unlike standard docks, the top lid of this boombox opens so you can lay your iPod and a CD in the top of it— kinda like the music version of a DVD/VCR combo. Featured on
7Gadgets, the player is said to hold almost any MP3 device and comes with an AM/FM stereo.

Sony unveiled their latest clock radio and boombox at a special “Holidays in July” event held in New York yesterday and while the concept for both devices isn't revolutionary, the designs are sleek and certainly nightstand worthy. Both models will let you listen to your iPod or MP3 player without headphones.
Designed to work with most iPod models, the ICF-C1iP clock radio accommodates standard iPod adapters, but does not require their use.
