I see this is now shipping. Would appreciate if someone who has this would confirm whether it does charge the iPod Touch Gen 2.

Doh! Just noticed the inMotion Max on the Altec Lansing site... hopefully that's the ticket.

just picked up the iM600 for 60$+free ship...better than waiting for a newer model w/ a higher tag

Got it. I'll be wanting to hook up a new nano and a 1G iphone. I just wish the T612 had an FM receiver as well...

I could not find any info either on the differences. My guess is that the only difference in the im600USB is the ipod dock charging connection. Starting with the new iPod Nano 4th Gen., Apple changed the way they charge, USB only, no firewire, I believe. So, the original im600 is not able to charge the new Nanos, it plays them fine though.

I'm with you... the Altec T612 doesn't have the FM receiver but works well with iphones whereas the iM600 and iM600USB have the FM capability, but are not perfect for the iphone. What extras does the USB version provide and will it come out before Christmas 2008?

go to their website at imaingo.com/support/ and look at the compatibility specs. **I would strongly warn against going with this product due to the poor customer service however. They advised me to send mine in, which I did and then no one will reply to an email or voicemail and worst of all they have my product. I recommend looking at Braven portable speakers which I have recently discovered. They are a little more expensive but take enormous amounts of abuse and are bluetooth and thus wireless. The sound quality is also superb. Good luck.

Thanks for the update! I'll look into the BX-1021, did you have to use a special cable to connect it to the IM600? Altec told me last week that the sub-woofer for the VS-2421 would work as well. I'm little leary as they have given me bad advice before. My remote for the IM600 died back in March, it's taken me this long to get a replacement. They said it shipped, then said it was out of stock and would ship when they got them in (2 months ago), didn't ship, had to call (2 weeks ago) with still no remote, called again last week, hopefully it's on it's way. Not impressed with their CS.

Me, too 1005HA, but mine last almost two years before the earphone jack gave out. Now all I hear with earphones is the secondary track . . .music, soundeffects, harmonies. BUT NO DIALOGUE. Ugh. Going to check out the sound card idea. Before the warranty ran out I called the service and they told me to reinstall the system. What? Then the warranty ended. So now, onto sound car shopping. This thing is worth $175 now according Amazon and I neeeeeeed this netbook to get lots of stuff done this fall!

Well, thanks for trying. I hope they reply! I noticed they merged those two models with their description as well which makes it hard to figure out the differences. If you dont get a response I'll definitely try to call and find out.

I have to concur on the previous comments here, after having tried to get an ICM4+ midi interface to be recognized on the ipad via the USB-B jack on the is202. Nothing worked until I connected it via the standard DIN jacks--voila!--interface present. The thing that's SO insane about that is the is202 manual shows a laptop connected to it! While not conclusive, that more than suggests the USB-B jacks would be more than simple equivalents for DIN jacks! Imagine how much less confusion about the purpose of that USB jack if Behringer had shown a keyboard instead of a laptop. Alas, its suggests someone in marketing was as confused as the rest of us.

To be honest I really don't know, I basically sent it right back, I've ended up with Asus muse edition way more expensive but between its dac & headphone amp,it's worth every penny for its mind blowing performance under $1000, happy hunting for your sound!Regards Heriberto

I contacted Boston Acoustics to get the real scoop. I was told that a B suffix on a BA product indicated a refurbished unit. I said that I did not think that Amazon would charge a premium for a refurbished unit. No response. I'm still confused but seriously considering a Zvox 555 instead - also offerred by Amazon.

No one makes a sound card like that anymore really, I'm building a new comp and I'm looking for a built in mobo. But if you must get one read the reviews. The soundblasters don't have the 7.1 jacks for the tiamats.

The unit shown is not what you'll receive....You'll get a cheaper unit with a swivel screen and no car charger....I sent them back..I have the model shown from another vendor and the sound is just ok. but really good if you use earphones....Just be careful what you buy...Make sure that you do not get model SVDV7014..The box will show a different model SDVD7002B, but it's not the one that is inside...I would suggest that you do not buy this from Amazon..They are having their problems with this unit....CVS and Sears sells them also...

I'm a little confused myself. There are people who say this headset is awesome. My question is, how the hell did they get it? I thought it's been already released but not for sale from Logitech website? Are they saying when the release date is?

It does pretty good. I must say that my altec Lansing has better quality sound. Better clarity and bass. Much louder than the bose.

Ernesto, The Aug MB100B is at our cottage so I can't check it for you. However, I also bought a Meloson M7 Rechargeable AM/FM DSP (Digital Signal Processing) Radio, MP3 Player & Portable Speaker with Built-in Micro SD/TF Card Reader and it is well worth the extra money. Sound and operation are much better, and it works great with headphones.....you will be glad you paid extra and got a much better Player.

Where did you see that? I didn't find anything on the page that says av-in . Both models have the same name "Aiptek Action HD GVS" so it seems strange that they would make any major differences like that.If anyone can prove this please let me know since I am holding off until I know for sure. Thanks.

Our Altec Lansing inMotion iM600 eventually stopped working, as well. The connector became too loose. We got it replaced under warranty, but the replacement only survived a few months before it, too, had the same problem. Further contact with Altec Lansing about the problem proved difficult for us as I didn't get any more responses to e-mail.

I had problems with the one I purchased, then found out that there is no product support at Numark for this unit. I sent mine back. If you can determine the bit rate of your onboard sound device, and it's 24bit, you won't find anything better under $300. I have a Soundblaster Xfi HD model SB1240 external USB sound card for my laptop (which has a 16bit sound device) and am very happy with it.

They make alot of those boomboxes, the original one your looking at is probably out of stock and there trying to sell you a another one, I tried ordering the same one just to find a different one which have different features which I returned.
