Xitel announced the availability of HiFi-Link for iPod, a docking station that allows users to connect their iPods to home entertainment systems, including TVs. The iPod can be charged simultaneously.
The HiFi-Link has received Apple's "Made for iPod" seal. When the iPod is docked, it processes the cleanest-possible signal from the iPod's base connector to deliver high-quality audio. With the included charger, you can simply dock it even when not using the device and let it charge the iPod.
The HiFi-Link comes with its own remote control, covering a distance of up to 50 feet. It allows you to swap between tracks, playlists, pause/play and turn off the iPod. Incorporating the new Universal Dock design, you get dock adapters for the various iPod models.
The Xitel HiFi-Link costs $99.95, and can be ordered online from Xitel's store.
