There’s pretty much only one thing I don’t like about my iPad. While the speaker is strong and clear when it comes to iTunes and most other movie and music apps, when you watch films and TV shows in the Apple-supplied “Videos” app, the sound sucks. It’s just way too quiet. Combine that with the fact that most movie soundtracks are mastered to bring up the sound FX over the vocal track and you can see the frustration.
The PadDock 10 might fix this. It’s an iPad speaker dock with a pair of 3-Watt speakers, a dock-connector and a pair of sockets at the back for charging or syncing (via AC or USB respectively). It also lets you spin the iPad 360-degrees, and when it’s in landscape orientation it look like nothing so much as a tiny wee iMac, complete with the single aluminum foot.
As the folks at LaptopMag point out in their great video review, the PadDock 10 has no remote, but then, when will you be more than an arm’s length away, anyway?
The PadDock costs $100 and is available now.
