IXOS Divo 2.1: the compact high quality iPod dock

We’re great fans of decent home audio systems, so the Divo 2.1 compact iPod dock caught our eye.

Kit out your desktop with Star Trek icons and dock

Waiting for the new Star Trek movie coming next month and want to get your desktop ready? Check out the Icon Factory’s latest collection of icons.
