Put your headphones in storage and enjoy full freedom of movement while listening to your iPod with the Altec Lansing iM3c portable iPod speaker system. The iM3c comes with a built-in docking station that not only holds most dock-connecting iPods, but also syncs and charges them, so you don't need to independently connect your iPod to your Mac or PC to sync your iTunes playlists. More importantly, the speaker system sounds crisp and full bodied, with four custom-designed 1-inch neodymium microdrivers and an integrated MaxxBass system that rounds out the low- frequency response.

The iM3c is a must for backyard parties and beach barbecues, as it not only folds up into a compact 8-by-5.5-by1.1-inch footprint (W x H x D), but also runs for more than 24 hours on four AA batteries (not included). Other details include a wireless remote control; an auxiliary input for connecting a second audio device; a universal power supply for listening at home; an auto shutdown function; and a protective carrying bag for easy transport. Compatible with the iPod 3G, iPod 4G, iPod mini, iPod photo, iPod video, and iPod nano, the iM3c weighs a mere 15 ounces and is backed by a one-year warranty.
