iPod speakers that cost more than your iPod

iPod speakerOpps! just planning to buy iPod and now i heard that just its speakers cost more than iPod itself:


Read here: The market for iPod accessories is seemingly limitless, but things get really interesting when the "accessories" start costing more than the music player itself. Consider these iPod speaker systems. Each of them costs at least $500 (okay... "$499"), and each has a built-in iPod dock. But that's where the similarities end.


While the B&W Zeppelin is pretty much an iPod-only affair, some of the competitors are more full-service home stereo systems: The Geneva Model L has a CD player and FM radio, and the Cambridge SoundWorks 765i adds a DVD player and clock radio to the mix. Either way, these manufacturers are betting that there's a market for discerning listeners who are willing to pay more--much more--than the $100 to $200 iPod speakers that dominate the shelves at Best Buy.
