Altec Lansing's T612

The 3G iPhone may not be a tangible, lickable reality quite yet, but in the days leading up to Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, companies are queuing up to shout about their iPhone-compatible accessories.

First up is Altec Lansing's T612 speaker dock. Its boasting point is that it incorporates shielding to prevent a deafening "dit-dit-di-dit-dit-di-dit" screaming from the speakers when a call comes in. Other features include treble and bass control, a remote and a line of pretty blue LEDs that awakens when you adjust the volume.

Priced at AU$399, the T612 is available now and will work with dock-connector iPod models in addition to the hallowed iPhone.

Also on the doorstep of the iPhone party is Philips, who would like you all to know that its DLO range of accessories is ready and raring for purchase as soon as His Turtleneckedness announces the handset for Australia.

Items include portable speakers, a car charger and the inevitable deluge of cases, covers and silicone sleeves — though if the rumours of a new form factor are true, they won't be of much use.

      The Creative TravelSound i50 is a fine choice for iPod Shuffle owners looking for a powerful portable speaker that integrates the player seamlessly, but there are better sounding options out there.

      The MYTube iPod dock throws everything it can into a dock, and then a little bit more. Only some of it sticks, mind you.

      iPhone 3G owners have a strong incentive to splurge on Altec Lansing's T612. Every other iPod owner should look elsewhere, though.

      It's clad in a pretty package, but the FB163 disappoints on the performance front, offering confusing iPod features and an arguably superfluous USB recording function.
