PodGear™ launch Shuffle Station™,
the world’s first iPod Shuffle™ speaker system

5th May, 2005

Innovative speaker system lets iPod Shuffle owners charge whilst sharing their music

High Wycombe, UK, May 5th, 2005 – PodGear™, an established UK brand of iPod™ accessories, today announced the launch of Shuffle Station; the first ever speaker system and charging dock for the iPod Shuffle.
 
Tom Dudderidge, managing director, Disruptive Technology Channels, commented: “Until now, iPod Shuffle owners have not been able to share their music on the move as can be done with the other iPod models. The Shuffle Station has solved this problem by allowing Shuffle owners to share their music in high quality Stereo sound; it also folds flat for storage on the move.”
 
Dudderidge continued:  “When away from the computer, the Shuffle Station will charge AND play when plugged into the mains; alternatively it can be powered by 4 x AAA batteries for music on the move. With a MSRP of just £34.99, the Shuffle Station has every feature a Shuffle owner might need while away from their computer and is only £15 more expensive than the Apple AC USB charger, making it an extremely attractive package.
 
Shuffle Station – Portable speaker systems have been hugely popular for the iPod and iPod mini. The PodGear Shuffle Station is the first such speaker system for the new iPod Shuffle. Shuffle Station delivers stereo sound, runs from the mains or from 4xAAA batteries, and will also charge the iPod Shuffle over USB.
