There's no shortage of portable iPod speaker systems on the market, but few have the chops to deliver serious bass. Enter the iThunder boombox, which offers just the type of powerful, undistorted low-end response you've come to expect from MTX Audio. Simply insert your iPod into the iThunder and crank it up, and the music will come booming out of the pair of 4-inch, full-range speakers. The resulting crisp, full- bodied audio puts other iPod systems to shame, and lets you enjoy your favorite tunes anywhere in the home or outdoors. The iThunder comes with a built-in docking station that's compatible with any dock-connecting iPod, along with a pop-up handle that's ideal for listeners on the move. Even better, the handle is controlled by an easy- to-use spring-action mechanism; just pop it up to get moving and then push it down when you arrive. No more dealing with an annoying plastic handle that's always in your way. Listeners will also dig the iThunder's full-function remote control, which lets you access many of your iPod's handiest functions. Controls include play/pause, forward and back, volume up/down, mute, backlighting, and shuffle. And when you're not using your remote, you can simply pop it in the convenient recess in the back of your iThunder. Other details include a 3.5 mm auxiliary input for MP3 players, support for eight C-size batteries or standard AC power, and an attractive white housing. The iThunder measures 15.5 by 7.06 by 4 inches (W x H x D), weighs 5.5 pounds, and is backed by a one-year warranty. iPod Compatibility iPod nano 1G and 2G, iPod mini, iPod 3G, iPod 4G (click wheel), iPod color, iPod 5G/5.5G video.
