Geeks
nostalgic for the all-in-one look of vintage Apple products can now add
a dash of retro to their gadget with the iStation, a docking device
reminiscent of an Apple I desktop.
What set Apple apart in the early days of personal computers was the
bundle design that integrated the keyboard, speakers, and monitor within
one shell. Even those not wistful for technology designs of yore can
appreciate the prospect of occasionally using an iPad more as a desktop.
Available in a faux woodgrain finish with a white keyboard or white
glossy finish and white keyboard, the iStation is compatible with both
the iPad and iPad 2, as well as iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. Each unit comes
with an iStation
in your color of choice, Bluetooth wireless keyboard, USB charging
cable for the keyboard, 3.5mm mini-stereo cable, built-in stereo
speakers, and an AC power adapter; and for $86, it’s a fairly affordable
tech frill.
