The Altec Lansing inMotion iM7 is a speaker system for the Apple iPod that allows you to dock your iPod and enjoy your songs in any room in the house. Altec Lansing's inMotion iM7 features an iPod cradle, both AC and Battery Power, Remote Control and Video Output for video-capable iPods.

Forum user dietcokevanilla spent some time looking at various iPod speaker systems and finally settled on the inMotion iM7 and is happy with her decision. In summary:

Pros:
Sleek design, which encases the iPod in its own little cradle.
Excellent sound-quality, even at high volume.
Remote control included - and a slot to keep it safe.

Cons:
A little large for regular transportation compared to some of the other speaker systems, but still "portable". (A carry bag is available to purchase separately.)

Audioengine is now shipping their Audioengine 5 speaker system for the iPod.

Audioengine is a full speaker system in a bookshelf-sized package. It has its own internal power amplifier and subwoofer components. The top of the unit has a built-in ports to connect your iPod Universal Dock connector. This allows you to charge your iPod while playing music through the speaker system.

The speakers cost $349 per pair, which places them right in line with Apple's iPod Hi-Fi system. Reviews of the new unit seem favorable: "If, based on sound quality alone, I had to choose between the iPod Hi-Fi and these speakers, I'd opt for the Audioengine 5s for their more-balanced sound and their ability to be separated.
