The first iPod dock that allows users to view and choose music on their TV has been released.

Made by Digital Lifestyle Outfitters (DLO), the HomeDock Deluxe shows all the iPod
‘s songs on the TV screen and allows the user to scroll through and choose the song they wish to play using an 18-button remote control.

There are four different colour themes to choose from and a few different screen savers, including the status bar, which shows the iPod
‘s current song and album information on a moving ‘billboard’.

Costing £80 the HomeDock Deluxe can be ordered from DLO’s website

Reviewing the HomeDock Deluxe for Time Magazine, Wilson Rothman said: “I especially liked being able to find a playlist with 100+ plus songs, start playing a song then, with one tap, putting the whole playlist into shuffle mode.”

The HomeDock Deluxe also shows the iPod
‘s pictures on the TV screen and lets the customer see them in a continuous slideshow.

Any iPod except third generation versions work with the HomeDock Deluxe.
