Polk Audio MiDock10

By Andrew Beehler March 25, 2007

Polk Audio, a company known for putting out quality performance audio equipment, recently announced a more general lifestyle audio product line called Polk Audio Designs. One of the first items to be released under this new brand is the MiDock10.

The Polk Audio MiDock10 is a portable iPod speaker system which comes in a black finish and measures 6”x 16”x4”. It can be powered by either eight C batteries or an included 12v power adapter. The MiDock 10 is capable of charging any dockable iPod which is slid into one of three included docking cradle adapters. It can also connect to a computer through the iPod’s USB cable so one can update their docked iPod’s content through iTunes.

As far as audio features go, the Polk Audio MiDock10 sports two 3.25-inch full range drivers which are vented through a side-firing flared port for better output and bass response. This portable iPod speaker system also has a built-in headphone jack so one can have more of a private audio experience as well as offering up an auxiliary input for connecting other music sources such as a portable CD player.

In addition to having portable power via the C batteries, the MiDock10 provides a few other portability features to make on-the-go enjoyment of your iPod possible. Stylish side handles on each end of the speaker system provide for a better grasp as you carry your financial investment around. An included credit-card sized remote control also provides you control of both the MiDock10 as well as your iPod.

More information on the Polk Audio MiDock10, which is priced at around $150 and available now, can be found at Polk Audio’s Web site.

There's a scene in Mission Impossible 3 that you might recall. In it, our hero Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) tackles the movie's villain, holds him at gunpoint, and forces him to read a bizarre series of sentences aloud.

"The pleasure of Busby's company is what I most enjoy," he reluctantly reads. "He put a tack on Miss Yancy's chair, and she called him a horrible boy. At the end of the month, he was flinging two kittens across the width of the room ..."

Digital Trends’ Top Tech of CES 2023 Awards

Best of CES 2023 Awards Our Top Tech from the Show Feature

Let there be no doubt: CES isn’t just alive in 2023; it’s thriving. Take one glance at the taxi gridlock outside the Las Vegas Convention Center and it’s evident that two quiet COVID years didn’t kill the world’s desire for an overcrowded in-person tech extravaganza -- they just built up a ravenous demand.

From VR to AI, eVTOLs and QD-OLED, the acronyms were flying and fresh technologies populated every corner of the show floor, and even the parking lot. So naturally, we poked, prodded, and tried on everything we could. They weren’t all revolutionary. But they didn’t have to be. We’ve watched enough waves of “game-changing” technologies that never quite arrive to know that sometimes it’s the little tweaks that really count.

Digital Trends’ Tech For Change CES 2023 Awards

Digital Trends CES 2023 Tech For Change Award Winners Feature

CES is more than just a neon-drenched show-and-tell session for the world’s biggest tech manufacturers. More and more, it’s also a place where companies showcase innovations that could truly make the world a better place — and at CES 2023, this type of tech was on full display. We saw everything from accessibility-minded PS5 controllers to pedal-powered smart desks. But of all the amazing innovations on display this year, these three impressed us the most:

Samsung's Relumino Mode
Across the globe, roughly 300 million people suffer from moderate to severe vision loss, and generally speaking, most TVs don’t take that into account. So in an effort to make television more accessible and enjoyable for those millions of people suffering from impaired vision, Samsung is adding a new picture mode to many of its new TVs.

Relumino Mode, as it’s called, works by adding a bunch of different visual filters to the picture simultaneously. Outlines of people and objects on screen are highlighted, the contrast and brightness of the overall picture are cranked up, and extra sharpness is applied to everything. The resulting video would likely look strange to people with normal vision, but for folks with low vision, it should look clearer and closer to "normal" than it otherwise would.
Excitingly, since Relumino Mode is ultimately just a clever software trick, this technology could theoretically be pushed out via a software update and installed on millions of existing Samsung TVs -- not just new and recently purchased ones.
