Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini iPod dock

Tags: Bowers & Wilkins, iPod dock, Scott Fitzgerald
The striking looking and powerful sounding Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin iPod dock has been with us for two years now. Time enough for a sequel - the Zeppelin Mini.
The Zeppelin Mini has a very different look to the Zeppelin. It's smaller, for one. It also has a more moveable docking arm, which you can in the picture above. The iPod can sit in the dock vertically, or, pulling the docking arm out, the iPod can be turned to horizontal, allowing you to see and easily access the Cover Flow feature of the iPod.
In addition to being an iPod dock, you're also able to grab music from your computer - Mac or PC - and stream music via the Zeppelin Mini's USB port.
