Marantz Launches IS301 iPod Dock with Bluetooth Connection
A new iPod dock was launched by Marantz earlier; a wireless dock called IS301 that has Bluetooth connectivity. The whole package is composed of a few elements for all of its functionalities: there’s a receiver with all the ports needed for audio and video outputs (that includes S-Video), the transmitter to which the iPod slides into for a wireless connection to the receiver, and the charging base that could accommodate both the iPod slid into the transmitted and just the iPod itself.
The Marantz IS301 iPod dock uses Bluetooth ver.2.1 + EDR with ʌDP support, has a maximum wireless distance capability of 10 meters, and is compatible with the fourth generation iPod Nano and first and second gen iPod Touch; it is not compatible with the iPhone 3G. The device will be available in Japan by January 2009 for a SRP of around $280.
