mStation Orb Docking/Speaker Station
By Andrew | February 22, 2008
After a long break, but I’m back to my gadgetsblog! Just as I sat to find something to tell you about, I scrawled through a number of iPod docks, before the mStation caught my fancy. The only reason I decided to tell its tale was its unique design, which was quite a relief from the monotonous ones and of course the sound quality.
The mStation Orb is a Docking/Speaker Station that’s not just different in looks from its contemporary’s but also packages fine sound quality.
The red colored docking station looks cute in that round avatar and comes home with a matching remote control, a USB Cable, and a stereo mini cable.
As you start exploring mStation, you’ll discover a few buttons on the top. These 6 buttons to be more precise are the controls for power, volume controls, previous, forward, and play/pause. For your convenience, all these controls are also available on the remote control.
A little bigger than the credit card, remote control is quite light in weight. Easy to install, mStation docking station is a cool cradle for the 3rd generation Nano.
There’s no need to disappoint if you own the older version of the iPods, since the cradle also homes a Firewire port that helps you to connect the older iPod generations.
Now, this was the best feature that was missing from other iPod docks on the block.
