Amazon.com Product Description
The Emerson iTone iP500WH Portable Audio System is a compact, portable system that allows you to dock any iPod available as of January 2006 (including iPod Shuffle, iPod nano, and iPod Mini) and play it through the built-in speakers. Because your iPod connects directly to the front-mounted docking system, this system is ideal for when you want to share your music with others, or for those times when listening through your ear buds is simply not an option. This system also features a digital clock and radio system with a full function remote control, as well as a folding bracket that lets you mount the iTone iP500WH on a wall or below a cabinet. And thanks to the USB connector, you can connect your iPod shuffle, while the included AC adapter lets you connect the system to an AC outlet and charge the battery of any iPod. It's a breeze to customize the iTone iP500WH according to your personal preferences. The digital turner automatically scans the AM and FM bands and locks in stations perfectly with no repetitive fine tuning required. And you can save 30 of your favorite stations (15 AM and 15 FM) in the preset memory tuner for immediate recall at the touch of a button. The digital clock allows you to fall asleep and wake up to the radio or your iPod and a full function remote control makes for extremely convenient operation. If you need a little extra sleep, simply press the snooze button. With an illuminated, unified LCD display, this system makes sure you can always clearly see the time. Wide-range, three-inch speakers deliver a crystal clear, high-quality sound experience. The iTone iP500WH can be operated on six "AA" batteries (plus two "AA" for clock and turner memory back up; batteries not included) or normal I20V AC house current (AC adaptor included). There's even an included an auxiliary input jack so you can connect other MP3 players, personal CD players, or any other external device that has a headphone jack. The iTone iP500WH comes with a 90 day warranty.

 Nano's beware January 16, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this item for my wife who uses it at work. She needed a radio/iPod combination, and this looked like the perfect match. The sound quality is excellent, especially for a smaller room. The only complaint is with the iPod adapter for the Nano, it really should be designed better. The way the adapter is made makes it hard to fit the Nano into the cradle. I had to angle the bottom of the Nano while forcing it down rather hard to get it to sit properly. I was worried I might damage the Nano by having to force it so much. Other than that, I think it's a great product for the money.
Great, with limitations. January 12, 2008
The good: The sound is great for a small unit. The dual-purpose mounting/portability is exactly what we were looking for.
Now the warning: the description says "for IPods prior to Sept 2006" and that's very true. I bought my wife a 3rd Gen Nano for Christmas and thought this was the ideal dock for her kitchen. Seeing the notice, I checked with Apple to make sure they were still compatible. The docks are compatible, but the play/pause & skip functions for the IPod on the unit and on the remote do not work at all.
If this weren't such an integral part of the unit, it would be a minor inconvenience. And if the controls worked, this rating would be a five. The iTone otherwise is exactly what we wanted, I just couldn't get a clear picture ahead of time what it's limitations were.
 Emerson iTone Audio System for iPods January 8, 2008
I have been using this system for a month now. It is great for the bedroom. Good speaker quality. I enjoy setting the sleep function and being put to sleep with my tunes. Great invention. I love it.
great item for ipods December 28, 2007

We have two different ipods in the house (original ipod and a new nano) and both easily adapt to this system. It was very easy to install under our kitchen cabinet. You can also take it off the mounted bracket and carry it anywhere. The sound quality is great and it's very compact. I would definitely recommend this item.
Great for price September 30, 2007

This machine is very handy and portable. The sound quality is somewhat lacking, but in this price range, I think this stereo is a good deal. I use it in the kitchen while cooking and take it outside while gardening. It charges your ipod and is fairly user friendly. The design is the sleekest on the market.
