Amazon.com Product Description
Made for sitting stylishly in your office or living room, the svelte inMotion IM500 speaker dock for iPod nano is also made for easy portability. Amazingly flat, the speakers panel folds flat onto the integrated iPod docking station to become just 0.7 inches thin (17mm) for easy transport. It also weighs just 12 ounces, and comes with its own protective carry pouch. Despite its size, the IM500 is no wilting flower thanks to its innovative speaker cone design and MaxxBass technology, which delivers deeper, richer, more natural bass frequencies. 
Amazingly thin and light (just 12 ounces) for easy portability. | The IM500 flips open to create a stand at the press of a button, revealing the back that includes a mini USB 2.0 connection for syncing your iPod to your PC, as well as a special 2.5mm auxillary line-in port for connecting other digital audio players (such as larger iPods) or portable CD players. (The IM500 comes with a 3.5mm adapter cable to accommodate players with connections of this size.) The front of the unit includes the iPod nano dock as well as a power button and volume up/down buttons.
Sync your iPod to your PC while it sits in the dock, and connect other audio players via auxiliary port. | Plugged into a power source or roaming free on battery power, the iM500 gives you complete freedom using an efficient, compact class D amplifier for maximum power. When using the included AC power adapter, your iPod nano will automatically recharge when docked with the iM500. It's powered by 6 AAA batteries (not included), which provide up to 8 hours of battery life. If no audio is detected for about three minutes, the iM500 will automatically shut down. The broad-faced speaker cones provide a generous surface area that drive an impressively big sound from such a compact speaker system. The integrated MaxxBass technology isn't your standard bass boost feature. It uses a patented psychoacoustic algorithm that enable you to hear bass far below the physical limitation of the speakers by taking advantage of the latest research in how sound is perceived. With MaxxBass, you can hear frequencies up to 1.5 octaves below what is generated. iPod Compatibility

Good sound quality in a compact and attractive unit.... December 15, 2006

This is a relatively inexpensive speaker solution for the iPod nano that delivers very good sound quality at this price point. The bass is good and the high frequencies are relatively clear. I am a musician and pretty fussy about my stereo equipment and for a small room I find that this is an adequate solution without overkill. This unit is also attractice and modern looking. It looks particularly good with a black iPod, but would look OK with any color. I shopped around a lot for products to go with my iPod. In general, I found that ALTEC LANSING delivers superior sound at a lot of different price points, so I would consider their products for the nano seriously along with the other solutions that are available.
Very Cool January 7, 2007

I just purchased this unit and so far I'm very pleased. The sound is amazing for how small the unit is. It's very portable and I look forward to traveling with it. I haven't tried it with batteries yet. Purchased it for my desk at work. I'm very happy with the look, sound and portability of this speaker system.
 Excellent Sound with compact size February 16, 2007

Considering the size of this unit, I can't believe the sound quality. I purchased this for my son and I "borrow" it more than he would like.
Great for traveling with!!
 Beware! This product fried my ipod! February 3, 2007

I received this product as a Christmas present. After following all of the directions, I insert my ipod. It proceeded to make a very sad face and died. I took it to the ipod store and they confirmed it is indeed dead. We contacted Altec Lansing over a month ago and so far have received the runaround. We hope they will do the right thing and replace the ipod but it's not looking too good given the poor service we've received so far.
Great desktop iPod player June 8, 2007

The is a great compact iPod player for a work desktop. It is very slim and takes up only a small place on my desk with great sound. It is also nice that it can run off batteries as well and can be taken on an outing in its own travel case.
