Barebones audio with some interesting features,

This review is from: Philips DC910/37 Shelf Bar 30-Watt Audio System with iPod Dock (Black) (Electronics)
The quality of the audio is considerably below higher end iPod Docks, but it's passable for a dorm room kind of setting. The sound is very compressed and does a decent job in the vocal frequencies and not a heck of a whole lot else. That said, the sound is better than you get with your typical Sony/iHome alarm clock iPod docks and it isn't a whole lot bigger. It also can be louder than those docks.
The ability to load in a SD card or Flash card for music is a nice feature that makes this audio system quite versatile. The remote is easy to use and fairly intuitive. Yes, you can rotate your iPod and watch TV shows and movies, but honestly, who wants to watch TV on such a tiny screen unless you're on a plane (in which case, you'd be using earphones).
The build on this unit is not particularly impressive and I'm guessing that it won't last more than three years. Then again, I won't have my iPod touch at that time either and will have moved onto something...Read more

Perfect,

I am so happy with this system. It is the perfect size, easy to transport, sleek, and has an incredible sound. The small stature is deceiving; it's hard to believe it's capable of producing such a rich sound. The rotating dock and compatability with other media are added bonuses. Well worth the money spent.

This review is from: Philips DC910/37 Shelf Bar 30-Watt Audio System with iPod Dock (Black) (Electronics)
This is on the expensive side of the likes but it has the features that I wanted. Wife's music can be played from the USB thumb while baby's music can be played from the SD card. There are other inputs, Radio and ... iPod as well. The design is slick for wall mount and I think it is overall a fine product from Phillips. I, however, give 4 stars because of these:
1. The wake-up volume can not be lower (always at 12). You have to de-gain your mp3 music instead thanks to the mp3gain software
2. I will be very happy if I have a choice on the color (white instead)
