New JVC XS-SR3 Dock Gets Your iPod Horizontal

The JVC XS-SR3 has a clean wraparound look and offers horizontal cradling in case you want to watch your content on the smallest screen in your home.

The dock does feature Dolby Virtual Surround and can double as a computer speaker system, but the rotating holder is something I can’t quite get behind as a concept. Watching a movie on your iPod or iTouch is convenient because of its portability, but if it’s tethered to a dock, why not just use your TV or monitor? If you disagree, the XS-SR3 will be available this month for $US150. [JVC]
