Altec Lansing inMotion Classic

The Altec Lansing inMotion Classic offers a stylish way to play your iPod or iPhone around your home. It sounds remarkable for its size, but it lacks the low-end oomph of a larger system.
Cygnett Maestro Portable Speaker System for iPhone & iPod

The Maestro does a lot of things right for its AU$189.95 asking price. It produces good sound and is cross-compatible with a range of iPods and iPhones, but it's also light on exciting features.
Panasonic SC-HC3 Compact Stereo System

Panasonic's attractive SC-HC3 combines CD and iPod playback with excellent audio quality, although iPhone owners should shop elsewhere.
Bose SoundDock 10

While it's expensive and isn't loaded with features, the Bose SoundDock 10 is classy looking and sounds excellent for a compact iPod/iPhone speaker.
Logitech Speaker System Z320

Logitech's Speaker System Z320 offers good looks and decent sound quality at a reasonable price. The speakers are rather lacking on the bass front, though.
Pioneer AVIC-F10BT

Pioneer's top-of-the-range in-dash navigation unit, the F10BT features a 7-inch touchscreen, movie playback including DivX, Bluetooth hands-free, USB connectivity and iPod support, as well as sat nav with text-to-speech, 3D view and traffic messaging.
Nokia N86 8MP

There's a lot to like about the N86 8MP, but it's hard to fall in love with it too. While it's well made with good features, it looks and feels like a phone from several years ago.
Altec Lansing inMotion Max

For its price, the inMotion Max is a very decent iPhone-compatible speaker dock. It makes up for the lack of features with decent audio quality and portability.
