With the i1255, iLuv has combined a 5.1 surround-sound DVD player with audio and video iPod playback functionality. Its thin black design is sure to rest fashionably next to most flat-panel TVs and home theater setups.
The i1255 features a slick remote that will allow you to control your iPod's music and video using an on-screen interface. The top-mounted dock is compatible only with video iPods--the iPod Touch, Classic, third-gen Nano, and the older video iPods.
In addition to playing standard DVDs, the i1255 supports VCD, MP3 CD, audio CD, JPEG CD, and Kodak Picture CD. Retailing for $130, the i1255 premieres at CES and will be available in March 2008.
