In-wall iPod docks such as the Channel-Vision I-Bus offer an alternative approach to expanding a home system, utilizing the device as a temporary source for a single zone. When you're ready to remove the iPod, the cradle slides back into the wall to become an unobtrusive face-plate, and the iPod reverts to a portable media player. Adding iPod functionality to home audio is just one more innovation in a constantly evolving business.
Few people are unaware of the impact that Apple's Ipod has had on portable music. The overwhelming popularity of the Ipod has given rise to many clever applications for home use. NuVo will use the technology to introduce a new On-Wall NuVo Dock for use with its whole home audio systems. A formal product release is targeted for the U.S. CEDIA EXPO in September 2009. NuVo currently offers two tabletop iPod docks, called NuVo Docks, for use with its whole home audio systems.
