The poeple at iHome make some of the more attractive iPod accessories around. There are a gazillion docks out there, but most are made from cheapish plastics and look like a cyborg threw up.

The iH69 speaker system from iHome does not. The attractive, trim stereo speakers feature a dock for your favorite iPod and include a minimalist remote control. These would look great in the dorm room of my future trophy wife.

There’s another new offering from iHome in the form of the iP47, more of a do-all system, including Bluetooth audio streaming, massive front-faced clock, and alarm settings. Interestingly, it has a microphone for iPhone users; say you get a call while your iPhone is attached, it automatically becomes a speakerphone system. Cool.

With that in mind, take a look at Aura, a Jetsons-esque speaker that sorta looks like a blender and “aims to fill a room with sound using resonating glass.” She was designed by one Paul Scarfe, who also has a laptop render you might be interested in.

It’s hard, not to mention irresponsible, to pass judgment on something that only exists in 3D modeling software. It looks cool, which is our primary concern when it comes to these concepts.

To be honest, I’m slightly more concerned about whether or not David Beckham will get his 100th cap today. Don Fabio has hinted that it’s going to happen, so let’s keep our fingers crossed.
