Docking Stations For Laptop

Since the iPhone’s introduction in 2007 surprisingly few speaker docks have been launched enabling the iPhone to be viewed in either portrait or landscape mode. This is a rather serious omission as no-one wants to hold the device in their hand for several hours whilst they watch a movie, and given the slippery design of the iPhone it is virtually impossible to prop it up in the right viewing position.

Thankfully, a few years down the line and the accessory manufacturers are catching up. Even as recently as a year ago there were very slim pickings on offer as far as rotating docking station speakers were concerned, but now there are a few more around enabling consumers to make a choice. These docking stations are an excellent investment to have by the bedside, doubling as alarms, allowing you to fall asleep to movies or music and charging your device simultaneously. Prices start from around £45 ($70).

The iHome IP41 has an innovative design which enables you to turn the whole docking station on its side to watch an iPhone or iPod in landscape mode. The nifty feature of this L-shaped glossy space-saving design is the clock, which also rotates to the correct orientation whether the unit is upright or on its side.
