Apple iPod Hi-fi Pictures + Apple iPod Hi-Fi hands-on

Right after Apple Computer revealed the iPod Hi-fi, the press slipped into to a bedroom upstairs for a steamy session with the iPod Hi-fi. As the photo Evidence shows at engadget..clothes came off. After all the build up for Apple's fun event today, I am a little disappointed... this certainly is not a must have for me... yes it's pretty.. but I never listen to music at home... so this would just catch dust...

iPod Hi-fi

Fill your home with sound, not stereo components. Keep your music collection at your fingertips, not in countless CD cases. Change the way you experience digital music. For $349, iPod Hi-Fi delivers crystal-clear, audiophile-quality sound in a clean, compact design. Hear, hear.

Where did the stereo go?

Just slide your iPod(1) into the built-in Universal Dock to turn on and tune in to digital music as you’ve never heard it before. From pumping bass to bright treble, iPod Hi-Fi delivers natural, room-filling sound. Close your eyes and you’d think you were listening to a huge stack of speakers. But iPod Hi-Fi measures just 17.0" x 6.6" x 6.9."
Virtuoso performance

As versatile as it is compact, iPod Hi-Fi incorporates thoughtful touches that make playing your music pure pleasure. Use the included Apple Remote to control music playback from anywhere in the room. Charge your iPod through the iPod Hi-Fi dock while you play music. Or take your show on the road courtesy of D-cell battery(2) power. All that makes iPod Hi-Fi pretty extraordinary. Just like iPod.
