We’re still coping with the CES news. One that we missed is about the company called iHome, which makes accessories for the iPhone and iPod users. During the event, they showcased the latest additions to their offering:

  • iP29 Portable Speaker Case for iPhone/iPod – housed in a fabric wrapped protective shell, these speakers both protect and charge an iPhone/iPod.
  • iP49 Portable Rechargeable Audio System with Alarm Clock & FM Radio for iPhone/iPod – although it’s designed for home use, the iP49 keeps a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Other features include Bongiovi Acoustics’ patented Digital Power Station (DPS) technology and four neodymium compression drivers, along with EQ for deep bass and audio performance, and fully functioning remote control.
  • iHMP5 2 in 1 Portable Stereo Speaker/Headphone System – all-in-one headphone/speaker set that lets users listen in private or go full speaker mode and share with friends. Not only for iPhone/iPod, but for an array of devices, computers and mobile phone included. The iHMP5 also packs a magnetic proximity switch that activates the power amplifier and kicks the music up to room volume.

In addition, iHome also had some portable audio units on display — including the iH16, iH24 and iHM77. More information on iHome’s product line is available from their website.
