Chinon USA (http://www.chinonusa.com) has announced the AVi Sytlix docking station for the iPhone and iPod. Available in an array of colors, it features a 7-inch, high-resolution LCD for playback of videos stored on an iDevice.
In addition, when docked to an iPhone or iPod touch connected by Wi-Fi, the Avi Stylix will stream web videos from sites such as YouTube or Netflix. The AVi Stylix sound system sports dual 2W stereo speakers, a remote control, digital radio and alarm clock.
In addition to playing audio and video from an iPod or iPhone, the AVi Stylix has inputs for USB and SD cards to view movies, photos and videos, or to listen to music that is stored on either a card or thumb drive. SD cards can be directly removed from a digital camera and inserted into the AVi Stylix turning the unit into a high-end digital photo frame.
The Chinon AVi Stylix will be available in June with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of US$99.99.
