The Sound Platform ($199) by Soundfreaq is a tabletop speaker system with a dock for your iPhone or iPod, as well as a Bluetooth connection that works with the iPad or any other A2DP-compatible Bluetooth device.
A red version of the speaker is due out for Valentine's Day.

Also included is the power adapter, an FM radio antenna wire, and three dock inserts--one for the iPhone 3G, one for most iPods or the iPhone 4, and a flat insert if you plan on just using Bluetooth and want to keep the design clean.

The Sound Platform retails for $199, which is a very attractive price for the features and sound quality you're getting. The dock is compatible with any iPhone or iPod made in the past few years. Bluetooth compatibility allows the speaker to work with the Apple iPad, as well as any A2DP-compatible smartphone.
