It includes innovations that make hifi easier, and more eye-pleasing: a new PowerDock connector, new TouchLight controls, and a digital radio with alarm clock. TouchLights brighten on hand contact, giving extensive iPod menu control that other small systems lack. When the iPod/iPhone is removed, the motorized PowerDock spins closed to protect it.
