Wife wants one of them speaker docks for iCrack\Touch

Despite having a perfectly good dock on our surround sound system she wants an additional something for the kitchen.

Looking to keep it under $200 (In other words I'm not shelling out a bundle for Bose system)

Recomendations?

Look at some of the Logitech docks. I bought one with a mail in rebate (ended up being $40 instead of $130) and I don't think the Bose sounds much better, plus the Logitech system has a radio which I believe the Bose dock lacks. People just buy Bose for the name. Before I am accused of being a Bose hater, I have an Acousitmass 16 surround system as I got it at a significant discount. I still think it sucks.:shrug:

We have an iHome one and it works great. It was like $100 ish.

It works with the old iPods, Touch, iPhone and it even comes with an adapter for the shuffle. We've used it with all 5 of the iPods we've had and never had problems.

These three are Canadian so if it asks you for a postal code just put B3T 1C8. These prices are Canadian so the prices you should be able to find should be below your $200 target.

I have used all of these pretty much 5 days a week and I like them.

I also have the ihome, got it for 75% off when one of the radio shacks was closing here. It's pretty good, but I wouldn't pay full price for one.

What do you think of the sound? I think we have that exact one at work and I'm not to impressed.

This is one Ihome system I really like but its still about $260 or so in the US. I only looked on one US site so there might be better deals on it. Canadian again postal code B3T 1C8.
