The announcement from Sony today that they would launch yet another iPod speaker system was greeting with the sound of one hand clapping. The SRS-GD50iP is a 2.1-channel USB speaker system with an integrated iPhone/iPod docking station. The system was styled with the computer user in mind so don’t go thinking you can use this for your home entertainment system. You can synchronize content on any iPhone or iPod with iTunes directly through USB transfer with something Sony is calling the True Dock and the SRS-GD50iP will also charge your device.
It does offer a pretty simple connection via USB and the 60W (40W sub, 10+10W speakers) speakers should privide plenty of sound for most gamers and other mediaphiles. As an added bonus you get a powered subwoofer and remote control. The Sony SRS-GD50iP USB 2.1 Speaker Set is compatible with selected iPod and iPhone models and will be available any day now.
