Amazon Link - $50 off! Not a bad deal! I’d like to bring up that it IS prime so if you have one of those fancy memberships and HAVE to get this by Christmas you still can with prime.
Also Woot always gives good deals on Altec Lansing Products. I mean last Woot Off along there were 5 things, lol.
Could this be used with ipad2?
Also when would woot have an i7 laptop?

I’m just not seeing any reason to drop a hundo on this sort of item. Where does this fit in? Plug your ipod into quality speakers in the living room, or wherever you have real speakers set up (porch etc) , or bring a rocketfish wireless set to the random place you would rather be? I just don’t see it…
Engadget says it is “ultra portable”… linky link.
Nothing will ever beat the portability of one of these “great” boom boxes though.

Hold on shoulder and walk with a swagger… only way to roll. Don’t think an iPod dock will hold the same clout.

The non-battery model for $69 got pretty good reviews last month when they had it here. I almost pulled the trigger, but wanted something portable. Now, 30 days later and $30 more and I got my wish. Now, how do I hint to the wife?

Its $50 off the LIST price. This is a new product and anyone paying anywhere near list price would be foolish.
I’m a sucker for Altec Lansing. Only computer speakers I’ve ever owned… awesome stuff.
EDIT: AYE!!! WQTF!? My state is not showing up… wake up monkeys!

Heh heh… have you seen this?
B0017TROLQ: Old School Style High Performance Portable Music System

I cannot find any solid reviews. Watch out, this seems to be and OLD product. In Altec Lansing product page you will NOT find this unit. Instead you will see the M650.
Im looking for one of these, but seems pricey. I would rather get something better or cheaper, such as an iLive soundbar.
I bought the last Altec Lansing iPhone dock and it crapped out after about 2 weeks… Just saying
Heh… I just noticed you found some ‘moose ears’ for your avatar… : )
Did you have to ask for those specifically or did they just happen to show up?

The choices woot provides are obviously limited, but given the tribute to Bullwinkle, it was the best fit for the username.

I’ve had bad luck with Altec Lansing. The computer speakers I had would hiss if I wasn’t playing any audio through them. Finally had to get rid of them because I was tired of having to turn them off when I wasn’t listening to audio.
