Macally FlexTune Portable Stereo System Puts a Twist on iPhone(R) and iPod(R) Video Viewing
New FlexTune System Allows a Horizontal or Vertical Viewing
Experience with Great Sound
SAN FRANCISCO--(Business Wire)--Macally, a world-class designer and manufacturer of
next-generation mobile and in-home electronics, today unveiled its new
Macally FlexTune portable stereo system. Supporting the Apple iPhone,
iPod touch and iPod classic, the Macally FlexTune lets customers enjoy
music and video with exceptional sound and the choice of docking these
devices horizontally or vertically.
The announcement comes on the first day of Macworld Conference &
Expo at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Macally will show the
FlexTune along with its full line of accessories and peripherals for
the iPod, iPhone and Mac computer products at its booth, number 926,
in the South Hall.
"The Macally FlexTune will help customers get the most from the
widescreen video viewing and enhanced sound capabilities from their
iPhone and iPod touch," said Andrew Saldana, Macally's vice president
of sales and marketing. "We felt consumers would appreciate having the
flexibility to choose if they wanted to place their iPhone or iPod
into the cradle of the FlexTune for a vertical or horizontal viewing
experience. In addition to delivering great sound, being easy to use
and having a sophisticated design, the FlexTune is an all-in-one
docking and charging station for letting iPhone and iPod customers
enjoy music and video."
The unique FlexTune portable stereo system lets the iPhone and
iPod be docked in a horizontal orientation, which is ideal for
watching widescreen movies and video on an iPhone or iPod touch. It
can also be docked vertically for video viewing on an iPod classic.
Stylish and space saving in a silver and black casing with a small
footprint, the FlexTune portable stereo system looks great and sounds
even better. The 1500mW power output per channel offers exceptional
stereo sound without a headset or bulky wired external speakers.
With easy-to-access buttons for play, pause, next, previous, stop,
and volume control, the FlexTune offers the functionality for avid
music and movie aficionados. The FlexTune charges the iPhone and iPod
products when docked and offers auto turn on/play or turn off when
iPhone and iPod touch is docked or undocked.
The FlexTune can be powered by an AC adaptor (included) or by four
"AA" batteries. The line-in jack lets customers take advantage of the
excellent sound quality for listening to other music players.
Pricing and Availability
The Macally FlexTune portable stereo system for iPhone and iPod
has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of $59.99, and will be
available at leading electronics and technology retailers throughout
the United States at the end of February 2008.
