TRUE multimedia dock?

[srothkin]

I'd like a multimedia dock for traveling that has/does the following:

• Convenient size/shape for traveling. Should fit in carry-on luggage and not arouse TSA suspicion.
• Magnets to automatically activate dock mode.
• Charges Droid
• Amplified speaker -- powerful enough to use in a small dance studio for a few people to dance to (e.g., comparable to a small boombo
• Ability to power speaker & droid from rechargeable batteries (preferably user replaceable) for at least 2 hours.
• When plugged in, would be nice to charge the rechargeable batteries along with charging the Droid

Something that is a cross between the original Motorola Multimedia Dock and the Logitech PureFi Anywhere portable Ipod speaker would work nicely.

I don't mind if I have to separately plug a cable into the Droid's headphone jack -- that's not a big deal.

Since I don't travel that frequently (maybe once or twice a year), it shouldn't be too expensive. I could see paying up to $150 for it.

It is usually nice when referring to a product or a website you provide a link. I googled this product

Is that what you are talking about? It is clearly designed with the ipod in mind. I would love to hear about your DIY project to Dock, Charge, and get audio over USB with this, I would be impressed.

Sry about that. I was referring to this product: Walmart.com: iHome Portable Stereo Speaker System for iPods & MP3 Players, iHM10B Black: Audio

And I saw pics of the modified ihome speaker on this thread but the pics seem to be removed by the user. He explains how he did it. Also, the first post shows a cheaper DIY dock with pics. The user who had the ihome modification was metalmenance:

the dock doesnt need a ipod connector.

That's because it has a cord that you'd have to plug into the Droid's headphone jack.

You could always just get computer amplified speakers.

All these ideas are weeeeeak buy something like the blackberry bluetooth gateway and stream ur music to ur home theater system... does our dock really not allow pandora to run? If thats the case, take out the magnet.....

I agree with the Gateway, I just put one in my car and it sounds almost as good as a cd! Not bad considering my droid music is only 128-192kbps and who knows what pandora is. But it works fairly well in my car.

Im looking for a portable small boombox for my droid, would be nice if it could charge my droid off the boombox internal battery. with or without bluetooth.
