I know how you feel. With your mouse, USB hubs, Boba Fett coffee mug (full of rubber bands, not coffee, of course) and Army of Darkness figures, who has room for speakers and an iPod dock? Well, rejoice. iHome has announced the iH69 and iH70, speaker systems for Macs and PCs. Now, iPod users can dock, charge, play and sync their iPods directly to their computer via their speakers, providing better quality sound and functionality with no extra wires, cables or space necessary.

“At iHome, we continually strive to provide innovative products for iPod owners that enhance their listening enjoyment and maximize the functionality of their iPod,” said Evan Stein, vice president of marketing at iHome. “The new iH69 and iH70 are a perfect marriage of sound and design, and with their charging and sync capabilities, they
are the ideal, all-in-one speaker solutions for the Mac or PC that will consolidate space and bring iHome’s advanced sound technology from audio speakers to computer speakers.”

Compatible with all docking iPod models, the iH69 and iH70 charge, play and sync iPods while they are docked securely into the base of the computer speaker. The iH69 and iH70 are designed with high-fidelity Reson8 speaker chambers providing the listener with premium power output, computer port, sync switch, volume controls and
headphone jack for private listening.  The iH70 builds upon this base with higher wattage producing speakers, a full functioning remote control and the inclusion of SRS WOW sound enhancement technology that expands the audio field for a richer sound experience.

The iH69 and iH70 is currently available for pre-order at ihomeaudio.com, and will be available soon at major retail outlets nationwide for the suggested retail price of $99.99 and $129.99 respectively.
