Xtreme Mac must’ve thought its old Tango iPod dock was getting a little long in the tooth and also bit too expensive, so now there’s Tango Studio, a more-compact room audio system and FM radio that works with just about any iPod, even the new ones. It has a retractable iPod dock that’s ambidextrous, able to take on all comers as long as they’re not too ancient and wear the Apple brand, or have an aux jack for a bit less functionality. Besides that, all that distinguishes it from the growing mob of iPod docks is its cool blue LEDs that disappear behind the black cloth grill, part of its minimalist design that looks like an angled black plane with no front buttons anywhere to be seen. Still, it looks like a decent value for $79.95. [XtremeMac]
Round two of our iPod Dock Bracket continues as three docks battle it out for our eternal love and loyalty…until the next round. It’s heavyweights iHome iH52 and XtremeMac Tango duking it out in the same ring as the welterweight Eton Sound 100 iPod. Who will win? Why would you even read the teaser anymore? Just hit the jump to find out. More »
We usually reject iPhone cases because they are a dime a dozen, but this TuffWrap case from XtremeMac is different. It doesn’t spoil the svelte design of the iPhone, adding an unobtrusive slip-resistant silicone edge to keep you from dropping it, and a clear plastic film on the outside that still lets you use the touchscreen.
This case leaves every switch and jack open, so of course, it’s not waterproof. But we especially like the way it even has a little hole for the camera on the back. Even those of us who are reluctant to use any case at all are tempted by this TuffWrap case, because there’ve been a few times already when we’ve almost dropped the iPhone, and those easy-grip ridges on the side look like they could prevent a disaster or two. This is one case that might be worth pre-ordering now at its $19.95 price. [XtremeMac TuffWrap] More »
We’re finally getting to some more expensive docks in our Super, Mega, Ultra iPod Dock Battle. On one corner, we have the JBL On Time. It’s our second clock dock, and it’s pissed (we think…tough to tell). In the other corner, we have the XtremeMac Tango. It smells excellent—like our favorite variation of RightGuard. Both units retail for a deuce of Benjamins.
How will this fight end? Only one can win! More »
