Brand Incubator, a Japanese firm is selling a new style of iPod dock, the i-Stones. The dock is made of natural stones. There are two models of i-Stones - Wabi (for iPod mini) and Sabi.

The i-Stones Wabi has lighter color compared to i-Stones Sabi. Both feature a USB 2.0 connection, battery charging and audio connection. But I think you should put your iPod very carefully into the i-Stones if you don’t want any scar on it.

The price of i-Stones is 300,000 Yen (about $2,650)!

iEgg is an MP3 player with built-in speaker (similar to Samsung K5) for you who are sick of using headset or earphone.

Kalista CD Transport is a new CD player from Metronome Technologie. The unique and weird design probably has to do with the fact that it was drafted together by aerospace and french military manufacturers.

The IH19 iPod dock is also rain-proof - perfect for you with outdoor activities. You can change music track, control the volume, play and pause the music via the onboard controls, but you can’t charge your iPod on the dock.
