After my initial reaction of “Ooh! Another thing from Apple that I need to get.” I realized that the iPod HiFi was a big fat NBD. So you can dock your iPod. Whoopee. So it has great sound. Ok.

What I was really craving was a stereo made for the iPod that contained built-in Airtunes. Use that as your hub and wirelessly send your tunes to every room in the house. Now that is something I would buy.

Yes, but it RE-INVENTS the home stereo!!

And it only costs $350!!

And it fits on a shelf!! (unless of course you want to actually dock your iPod in the iPod dock)

Don’t worry, FZ.  It re-invents the home stereo.  Aren’t you happy about that?

After re-comparing, I am no longer in doubt. It’s a much cheaper alternative to the Panisonic I was looking at.

I find that the Treble is not as good on the Bose.

But, is it worth it?

Since it’s so expensive for my point of view.
What about the D-cell batteries???

I use rechargeable batteries for most of my electronics, but I run my iPod Hifi off of external power.
