Strengths: - Strong Clear Sound (Bass & Treble) - Luxury Piano Deep Stylist Black - Rechargeable Battery Playing More Than 6 Hours - Functionalities of A Traditional Boombox Plus
Weaknesses: - No Carrying Pouch to protect - Function Like Clock & Alarm Depend of Your IPod Equipped or Not
Summary: After considering between highend Ipod dock plus speakers like BOSE, JBL, KLIPSCH...I decided to go for InMotion due to its look & funtionalities. No disappointment so far. The portability is best for moving around the house, front yard, back yard, office,...Radio & Ipod function are two most important source of music and it got them all, plus external input for any other devices if you choose to. Option to add more bass with the same brand subwoofer, multiple adapters for different ipods, usb to connect to pc, radio, alarm,...are all made up my decision to buy it. Recommend for those who already invest in expensive ipod!! WHY NOT SATISFIED FOR LESS...

Strengths: Portable and versatile. Folds flat for easy traveling. OK on sound.
Weaknesses: Does not have a carrying case. Does not have a clock or alarm. Need to purchase additional satellite speakers for bigger sound.
Summary: In all this system is great. It is easy to carry around the house and the beach. I just love the black casing which makes it look sophisticated in my bathroom so that I can listen to my IPOD too. The buttons are very easy to use. I would highly recommend.

Strengths: Great sound, excellent features, very portable, and nice size.
Weaknesses: The buttons on the remote are bubbles. They work fine but in the future they will probably break. Also, battery on the remote is a special kind so it will be more expensive to replace.
Summary: Overall, I think this is an excellent product. The sound is great and carries into the entire room. This is one of the few docks that has plenty of features. I love the video output feature and the radio in addition to the USB plug to allow me to plug into the computer while the iPod is still on the dock.

As mentioned above, the control is a bit flimsy but it works just fine.

Strengths: -Great sound system -The bass is very nice feature -Has AM/FM radio -Includes remote control
Weaknesses: -Need to use the iPod for the alarm clock
Summary: The Altec Lansing IM600 outputs incredible sound system. I can listen clearly to the music over 30 feet. I wanted to get a sound system with am/fm radio. Did countless hours of research and for the price, this was the best choice.

3 Star Reviewim600 altec lansing ipod portable
Strengths: lots of features, compact design, remote, antenna for built in fm
Weaknesses: too expensive
Summary: lies flat with fold out shelf that has the controls, comes with a line in and s video connection. built in rechargeable battery (again is it proprietary I dont know at this time)charges ipod if plugged into wall but not if running on battery. well constructed. dont know much about output and frequency but it sounds rich to my untrained ear which ultimately is the question to ask.

2 Star ReviewSound not the best
Strengths: Portability
Weaknesses: Sounded quite tinny. Not enough bass.
Summary: I very much liked its looks and portability but the overall sound was lacking bass. Must be something better out there. Beautiful rich black piano color and easy to setup.

2 Star ReviewGreat sound - questionable quality
Strengths: Sound quality with deep bass; Portable size; Price - found for under $100; rechargeable battery Remote
Weaknesses: Quality issues; No AM radio; Nag screen appears on iPhones
Summary: I really like the sound quality of this unit especially for the size and the price. The rechargeable battery gets 6 hours per charge easily. The remote works well, but won't allow you advanced features such as changing menus. The USB version does charge an iPhone, but you still get a nag screen saying it isn't compatible with iPhones.

This would be a slam dunk if I weren't on my 3rd one. Altec Lansing doubled my warranty when I registered - good thing - my first one died after 6 months, refusing to play at times. The second one lasted about a year when it refused to play when plugged in, only playing from battery. Then it refused to play at all. Fortunately their customer service was pretty quick each time in sending me a new one.
