We've been testing out a demo unit of the new Bose SoundDock here for about a month, and the short version is that I'm digging it. The $300 device has received fair criticism from various sources for not packing more features that cheaper competitors do (for instance: the ability to sync your iPod, or play music coming from your laptop or PC). The sound quality is better than other iPod speakers, though, and it's become a convenient way to avoid sonic warfare among officemates. I share a modest-sized space with other colleagues who also happen to pack 'Pods, and an odd sort of DJ honor-sharing system has evolved among us. My mini sits in the SoundDock one day, someone else's (any size) might rock the cradle tomorrow. It's a relatively small-footprint, low-cost way to meet the jam needs of our shared work space.
