Here's a throwback to serve as a contrast against the more futuristic looking iPhone/iPod docks in the market these days. This boombox is actually the Sony ZS-S4iP, an iPhone/iPod dock that features a tray where the phone and media player could be placed, not unlike those old cassette players.

Replete with an eject button labeled "iPod," the system could charge the iPhone/iPod and play music from it through a couple of 2 watt speakers. The boombox can also play music from CDs and has an FM/AM tuner. There's no official word on pricing yet, but according to SonyInsider, some Australian web sites have it up for pre-order for around $140. The Sony ZS-S4iP will arrive in US shores come October.
