JBL On Time 200ID System iPod Dock

A new iPod dock as been presented by JBL in CES 08. To differentiate itself from the myriad other iPod docks available, JBL is touting it as a "time machine." The JBL On Time 200ID focuses on the time-keeping aspect of the iPod. The loudspeaker dock could be used as your alarm clock. You can now replace your radio alarm with the loudspeaker and wake up to your favorite iPod track. It has a backlit LCD for navigation through a user-friendly interface. Docking versions for the Touch, Nano and Classic will be released. However, a stereo jack will enable connection to other MP3 players, even the Shuffle. The device will be available this winter of 2008 with the suggested retail price of USD$199.95.

"The integration of devices to deliver a superior experience is what the new JBL On Time 200ID system is all about," said Christopher M. Dragon, director of brand marketing for the Harman Consumer Group Mobile, Portable and Companion Products Division. "There are many clock radios with iPod docking capability, but none with legendary JBL(R) audio quality."
