- Excellent except for the FM receiverThe Altec Lansing in Motion iM600 iPod speaker system works very good. It sounds great and the controls are intuitive. Two things. 1. MAJOR: The FM receiver does not work well. I can't pickup anything without wrapping the antenna in aluminum foil. 2. MINOR: The charge receptacle is behind the folding panels. It should be in the side so I can charge it folded closed or open. Rating: - for someone who cares about soundI reviewed many different ipod docking sound systems before settling on the im600. Most sound like toys. The im600 impressed me with it's natural sound that excels with jazz and pop music, especially vocals. Combine it with a tivoli subwoofer for the perfect small system. Other things that make the im600 stand out from the pack is the input jack for other sound sources, an output for the subwoofer, the battery back and folding design making it ideal for traveling. So far I've bought four of these and I recommend them to everyone who asks. Rating: - pretty happyworks great, pretty loud. aux input has been useful but you have to buy your own cord, and remote is handy. battery that came with the remote didn't work and i had to buy a new one which was kind of a pain. overall pretty great, but not perfect. Rating: - Great Sound and Works with iPhone 3GI got this as a gift and originally used it with my video iPod. It has a really great sound. A nice powerful base that doesn't overwhelm the treble. The overall sound is quite rich. It has both a radio and iPod mode. The remote has 4 preset buttons you can use with the built in radio. It has a telescoping antenna, but I haven't found the need to extend it. It would be nice if it had a mute button for when you are using the radio, but it's easy enough to turn off. When I got my iPhone 3G, I decided to give it a try. While it doesn't charge the iPhone, it does play the songs with no problems and no interference. It always asks if you want to put the iPhone into airplane mode, but there is no need. When a call comes in, it automatically stops playing the current song and resumes when you hang up and press play. I have used it both with and without a bluetooth headset and it works both ways. At work, I also have a 1G iPhone. If you have one of those, then don't get this radio. It, unfortunately, does have interference problems when it's anywhere near this radio. Whether you have an iPod or an iPhone 3G, this is definitely a good value. Rating: - the bestan article is easy to transport and luxurious, practice, comfortable, witha sound acceptable, and their 2 radio functions and i love ipod
