SendStation PocketDock: conexão Mini USB no iPod

O conector de dock properietário dos iPods é legal para uma grande variedade de acessórios, mas geralmente ele nos obriga a andar por aí com um cabo que serve unicamente ao iPod. O PocketDock permite sincronizar e carregar o aparelho via Mini USB.

O SendStation PocketDock, já à venda, é incrivelmente pequeno (com tamanho semelhante ao do plugue da Apple) e, além da Mini USB, tem porta de 3,5 mm – que, como em um dock, permite uma saída de áudio de qualidade melhor do que fornecida pela conexão do fone de ouvido. É bem simples e meio caro (US$ 30), mas pode valer a pena. [SendStation]

SendStation releases tiny PocketDock Line Out Mini USB adapter for iPod

Frankfurt/Main, Germany – August 25, 2009

SendStation Systems today released the world’s smallest Mini USB-to-iPod adapter with integrated Line Out jack: the brand-new PocketDock Line Out Mini USB.

Mini USB has become the connectivity standard for portable electronic devices and the latest addition to the PocketDock family of iPod & iPhone adapters addresses that: now you can sync & charge your iPod or iPhone using the same cables, wall or car chargers found with digital cameras, portable hard drives, GPS devices, PDAs and many more. Additionally the integrated 1/8" (3.5 mm) Line Out jack offers pristine audio quality for connecting the iPod or iPhone to your home or car stereo or DJ equipment.

"This is the best PocketDock we’ve ever created", says SendStation’s President André Klein. "Not only did we further improve our already known, excellent built-quality, but we were also able to shrink the size by an incredible 66% over our existing USB Line Out model."

The new PocketDock Line Out Mini USB comes in black color, weighs merely 4 grams and with 7 by 25.5 mm has the same footprint as Apple’s iPod plug, thus fits through the dock connector opening of any case. Like all SendStation accessories with 30-pin dock connector, it is "Made for iPod" certified.

SendStation has also redesigned the included set of slim audio cables: the RCA (Cinch) plugs feature a flattened top to accept the thumb, which, by slightly turning while pulling, helps to unplug them easily.
