Boom Box for iPod

For those of you who like to bring along your entertainment system when you travel, let’s spare a moment for the new iMep.

The iMep is another auxiliary toy designed to work in conjunction with the ubiquitous iPod. In this case, however, it transforms the tiny iPod into a more bulky, yet still entirely portable entertainment center.

Weighing in at just nine pounds, the iMep is basically a glorified boom box with two, ten-watt speakers and a seven-inch LCD screen. Simply plug your iPod into the docking station, and share your music and video with fellow campers or beachgoers.

What, no iPod? If you are part of the no iPod minority, the iMep also offers a TV and radio tuner as well as a DVD player. It almost makes you wonder why you left home in the first place.
