Amazon.com Product Description
With 17 total watts of power, the compact and portable Altec Lansing iM600 Sound System gives you full optimized stereo sound from dual two-inch neodymium drivers, so you can enjoy your favorite iPod tunes at home or work. It features a built-in FM receiver, as well as an on-board rechargeable Lithium-ion battery that provides over seven hours of battery life before it needs recharging. The iM600 also boasts an Altec Lansing engineering innovation called the Stereo Field Expander, or SFX, which makes the speakers sound further apart than they actually are, resulting in a heightened stereo effect.
For added convenience, the stereo FM radio can double as a clock radio with station presets, LCD display and telescopic antenna for clear reception; simply plug it into an electrical outlet (the AC adapter is included). Superior bass enhancement technology means you can enjoy quality bass without a subwoofer, and the input jack makes it a snap to connect a second device, including CD, DVD and MP3 players. There's even a composite video out for playing your videos and photos for iPod on most TVs, while the built-in iPod dock allows for quick and easy data transfer and recharge. Additionally, this model syncs and charges all dockable iPod models.
Lightweight and easy to move, the iM600 conveniently folds up to 11.0 x 6.0 x 1.7 inches (WxHxD), and weighs just over two pounds, so you can truly take it anywhere.

Customer Reviews:
Too Good To Be True!.......2007-12-26
Just received for Xmas after reviewing all of the Bose, Harmon Kardon, etc. on the market. The sound of this product is unbeatable and the price is half (or less) of the other audio systems.
AND....this product has a built-in 6-8 hour re-chargeable battery, to boot. Would recommend to all if you can get for $150 or less. Absolutely worth the money to make your iPod sing and charge.
Good features, ok sound........2007-12-25
I love the rechargable battery feature on this devise, it is working ok with my 160GB ipod classiv, the remote is ok too. Sound could probsbly be better. Anyway, it's good.
Good Sound, FM is a good add-on.......2007-12-25
This unit gives excellent sound, inspite of not having a subwoofer. Quality is good even at loud volume. Infact, it seems that the more I use it, the sound keeps getting better.
The only bad part is the cradle for keeping the ipod, which does not "hold" the ipod properly. The iPod only rests on it, and any mechanical shock might cause problems. You need to be extremely careful with that. (This is the only reason I've given it 4 stars, not 5)
Awesome.......2007-12-24
This product was reviewed by a a prominent magazine who rated it above more expensive units, and I agree wholeheartedly. The sound is much better than you would expect from such a small and compact unit, and it looks great too. I bought a second unit for my office. it folds up for compact storage and transport. I can recommend this unit without reservation.
iM600 is very good!.......2007-12-24
We are very happy with the iM600. The portability is what makes this thing great. The Wife listens to her music in any room of the house, and I can listen to my Podcasts without having to wear those annoying Earbuds.
Sound quality is excellent. Play around with the EQ settings on the iPod to find one that sounds right for you. In our case, the "R & B" setting sounds best.

Alta fidelidad portátil para el iPod.......2007-12-25
I'm proceeding in spanish because there are so many good reviews in english for this product.
La iM5 es una unidad muy compacta, presentada en un cómodo maletín en donde se puede llevar todo el conjunto, incluyendo al iPod. En mi caso, lo uso con un iPod Nano 3G 8GB y funciona perfectamente, aún sin la base de ajuste que debería colocar.
El sonido es de alta calidad, suficiente para un ambiente de unos 20 m2 con un volumen bastante adecuado. Claro está, no es como para hacer una fiesta, pero si para ambientar una cena, reunión social u oficina. Toda la gama de sonidos se escuchan con claridad y sin distorsión, bajos, medios y agudos, incluso cuando se usa en exteriores con las 4 baterías AA.
Great speakers but poor durability.......2007-12-20
Got these speakers based on size, reviews and price. Used them right away and they sounded GREAT! Problem occurred only one week after use. My husband and I traveled out of state and took the speakers. Once we got unpacked we went to play our ipod and the on button flickered on but did not turn on. (must note that the speakers were carried on the plane, not checked). Not sure if it was a short in the power cord or what? Needless to say, the manufacturer is sending us a new one and I really hope we have no problems for I love the speakers!
Goood.......2007-12-19
I bought it as a gift for someone else, but after test-driving it, it sounds pretty decent. I haven't played with it too much, but it seems good overall.
great features, but problematic popping sound.......2007-12-17
I really liked the features on this speaker -- the international plug set and that it would charge my iPod -- and those features are great. The plugs are very well designed. However, two successive units made a popping sound, sometimes quite loud and frequent, when playing some (not all) files. The vendor took the first one back perfectly happily, but after the second one, I got fed up and just kept it because I wanted the plugs and because it doesn't always make the sound. But because of the popping I will probably get a different speaker unit to use around the house.
Do NOT purchase this or any other rodut from Factory Depot.......2007-12-11
I have no idea if the product is any good but after waiting weeks for a delivery I found out they can't ship. Don't send email as to why and don't answer the phone. What's even worse is that Amazon will not step in and offer a product solution.
They offer my $$ back but too late to get it delivered and wrapped and off to my son.
Bummer.
Not going to be using Amazon again

False Advertising.......2007-12-25
This DVD player WILL NOT work with the new iPods . . . anyone interested, stay clear. This problem was identified within the first few minutes with Philips customer support . . . time for Philips to offer some deep, deep discounting since this product is sooo out of date.
portable DVD.......2007-12-22
The ipod docking station is great!I can watch or listen to my ipod at the same time or watch movie while on the plane.
Awesome device!.......2007-12-16
This is a nifty little device.
Pros:
- Video display is decent
- Nice case construction
- It played divx from the SD card
Cons:
- It didn't work with my iPod Classic video (thats an apple lockdown)
I don't really care about the battery life. I will plug it in whereever I go and if they don't have power then I will either sleep or listen to my iPod.
The best part--> I bought this new for $89 at my local Walmart.
Lost in transit.......2007-12-10
THis item was lost in transit and had to be re-ordered. The re-order arrived in the appropriate amount of time as indicated on the 2nd order.
Amazon and Philips info is deceptive!.......2007-12-04
WARNING: This DVD player DOES NOT WORK with the IPOD Classic, the latest generation of video IPODs. This is confirmed when you call Philips tech support. They won't take 'em back because they're not defective. So Amazon and Philips should get upfront with their description and put this right up on the top of the page.

Amazon.com Product Description
Made for sitting stylishly in your office or living room, the svelte inMotion IM500 speaker dock for iPod nano is also made for easy portability. Amazingly flat, the speakers panel folds flat onto the integrated iPod docking station to become just 0.7 inches thin (17mm) for easy transport. It also weighs just 12 ounces, and comes with its own protective carry pouch. Despite its size, the IM500 is no wilting flower thanks to its innovative speaker cone design and MaxxBass technology, which delivers deeper, richer, more natural bass frequencies.
Amazingly thin and light (just 12 ounces) for easy portability.

The IM500 flips open to create a stand at the press of a button, revealing the back that includes a mini USB 2.0 connection for syncing your iPod to your PC, as well as a special 2.5mm auxillary line-in port for connecting other digital audio players (such as larger iPods) or portable CD players. (The IM500 comes with a 3.5mm adapter cable to accommodate players with connections of this size.) The front of the unit includes the iPod nano dock as well as a power button and volume up/down buttons.
Sync your iPod to your PC while it sits in the dock, and connect other audio players via auxiliary port.

Plugged into a power source or roaming free on battery power, the iM500 gives you complete freedom using an efficient, compact class D amplifier for maximum power. When using the included AC power adapter, your iPod nano will automatically recharge when docked with the iM500. It's powered by 6 AAA batteries (not included), which provide up to 8 hours of battery life. If no audio is detected for about three minutes, the iM500 will automatically shut down.
The broad-faced speaker cones provide a generous surface area that drive an impressively big sound from such a compact speaker system. The integrated MaxxBass technology isn't your standard bass boost feature. It uses a patented psychoacoustic algorithm that enable you to hear bass far below the physical limitation of the speakers by taking advantage of the latest research in how sound is perceived.

Customer Reviews:
Great sound for your iPod Nano, very reliable, great price.......2007-12-16
I've owned the IM500 for over a year and it is much more than a great iPod Nano amplifier. Sure, I use it for my iPod but the AUX input jack also makes it a great speaker system for your laptop computer. It folds down flat and fits perfectly in my laptop case. So whenever I'm on the road, this is the sound system I use for DVD movies, Internet gaming, or iPod play in my hotel room. The sound is wonderful with built-in bass boosting, and it's always worked like a champ.
I read the Amazon review by the person who said their iPod "fried" when they first plugged it into this unit. That seems very unlikely to me. How would a power surge get past the IM500's AC transformer? I suspect that was a defective iPod about to die when they plugged it in.
Ignore the rest, this is best Nano dock for the price, and perfect for your laptop computer too.
Good Item.......2007-12-11
This audio system sounds really great for how thin it is. It looks really nice as well. I bought it as a gift and was not disappointed.
Great Product. Even works with the new iPod Classic.......2007-12-04
I just bought this product a couple of days ago and so far its a great product.
Pros: Charges the Ipod, Great sound for such a small speaker, Compact and Concise, Very Portable, Easy to Operate, Even works with my Ipod Classic. So if you don't have an ipod nano, it still will work with your ipod.
Cons:Kind of hard to press the power button, It Takes 6 AAA batteries.
Other than that, If i were you, I would go out and buy this product instantly.
This is a great little portable iPod Speaker Dock!.......2007-11-03
The Altec Lansing inMotion IM500 Portable Audio System for iPod is perfect for my needs for a small (it's really tiny), powerful iPod (and other audio) speaker system. It's battery powered (you can use 6 rechargeable or regular alkaline AAA batteries), or you can opt for the included AC adapter.
Sound is phenomenal, and I can use this with the 2G Nano OR with the new 3G Nano with video OR the new iPod Touch with video! You can listen to music or watch a video with full audio while it's docked. Granted, the 3G nano screen is small, but since Apple has packed the screen with over 160 pixels per inch, it's amazingly viewable at close range. You could also theoretically watch videos on the Touch, but you have to turn the IM500 on its side for that. It works but is awkward and doesn't stand up on its own.
The unit comes with an audio plug which allows you to connect other MP3 players or gadgets. I can also use this with a 2G iPod Shuffle as well as a Sirius Stiletto 100 portable Satellite Radio (using high-quality WiFi streaming mode) to create a totally portable Satellite Radio speaker system! Very cool!
Good sound, great portability.......2007-10-31
Bought this unit for the express purpose of having music available in the hotel room when traveling. For portability it can't be beat: about the size of a thin travel guide and packs easily in a backpack or suitcase. Sound is quite appealing for its size and purpose. Impressive bass, good clarity. Overall I would highly recommend this product. Only complaint (kind of anal but I'm an engineer) is the 2G Nano does not fit properly on the unit. The 2G connector is offset an additional 0.125 inches or so causing the iPod to sit off center in the unit's recessed area. Does not affect performance, just looks like a poor design.

An iPod Classic 160gb CAN BE made to work with one of these units.......2007-12-22
There is a way to make the iPod Classic 160 gb work with the Philips line of Portable DVDs with iPod docking but its awkward and requires the purchase of Apple's Composite AV Cable ($50). Apple installed in the 6th generation iPods what amounts to an electronic lock. When you set the player up to send out video externally it will ask you to "Please Connect Video Accessory". It's looking for the sixth generation Apple Composite AV Cable plug. Somewhere embedded in the plug's configuration is the key to the lock that the player is looking for. Once you insert this plug the movie you have selected will begin to play and all you have to do then is remove the cable and insert the unit into the dock and you should see your video displayed. As i said before, this is an awkward work around and should you go back to the main menu to select a different movie you will have to perform these steps again. For those of you (like me) who were stuck with one of these units, this work around just might make you feel a little better about your purchase. Good Luck!!!!
Promising device fails to deliver.......2007-12-22
This device was a fantastic idea. A portable DVD player that allowed you to hook up your video iPod, and watch your iPod videos on a much larger screen. It could also play movies encoded in Divx/Xvid, which would allow one to cram up to 4 movies onto 1 disc.
Spending countless hours traveling on airplanes and sitting around in airports, this device seemed like a 'must-have'.
So, I got it.
It does everything it claims to do. Divx files play just fine, DVD titles play just fine. The video-out from my iPod works fine.
Which is all for naught... because the screen resolution is absolutely dreadful.
A person can barely read any subtitles, from within any media including standard DVD titles, as the text is blocky and squished together. The picture itself appears blocky and somewhat pixelated.
I've seen plenty of other portables that had screens much, much sharper. I wish this was comparable.
If Philips was able to put a sharper and clearer screen on this device, I'd be willing to pay $100 more for it. With the screen they went with, it's not even worth 2/3 of the price I paid.
IPOD portable dvd player.......2007-12-22
Great deal for the money. Took this on our trip and it worked great. The screen is a nice size and I was able to play all my shows that I downloaded on my IPOD. Picture quality was also great on the IPOD and dvds.
The only problem I had was that the battery did not last very long, but I would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys watching Dvds along with IPOD downloads.
This is the best item I have bought all year!.......2007-12-02
This is the best item I have bought all year!!! I have a 30G IPOD and a two year old. Can I say more? Everywhere we go we have all of our movies, pictures,etc. We can plug it up to most televisions anywhere.Great for travel and gives mom's a break when shopping, doctor appointents, etc. This is a must have!!!
Philips Portable DVD player.......2007-11-28
The service at Amazon is fast and always on time. I would recommend other to buy from Amazon.

Happy Customer.......2007-11-21
This unit is extremely compact, yet gives good sound and volume. Good battery life. Charges ipod when used with A/C adapter. Nicely designed. Altec Lansing has corrected the complaints I had with an earlier model.
Not happy...it was a gift and receipent is very disappointed.......2007-11-12
this was a gift for my daughter and she was very please to receive it. had some alligment problems when attempting to use adaptor for here Nano. very dispointed. currently its useable and making attempts to get some correction to the problem.
Altec Lansing inMotion IM3c.......2007-10-25
Great product, excellent sound quality, small profile and easy to use. I bought one for myself and then later for my father, he is happy with his as well.
Travel speakers.......2007-10-22
A good item to have for traveling. It is small when open and folds up for easy transportion. Keep in mind, it is not a whole house stereo. Just a way to listen to music in a smaller setting. And it works well for this. Follow the instructions for actually turning the unit on and it makes a good player for a hotel room. The music is clear and it beats the standard clock radio usually found in a hotel room. Just don't expect this item to do what it isn't designed to do.
Great portable speaker.......2007-09-10
The sound quality of the IM3c is very good at the mid to low level. This speaker system is solely used in my office, so cranking it up too loud is not an option. Its compact size makes it easy to place virtually anywhere. One feature I really like is the volume stays the same after turning the unit back on after it has been shut down, unlike the "JBL On Stage".

The same great iPod interface and ease of use that goes great in any hand.

With all your music at your fingertips, you may never want to stop listening. Lucky thing your iPod plays audio for hours and hours, or if you'd rather watch, you can feast your eyes on movies and TV shows for several hours without draining your battery. And you can count on the iPod to help you pack light. It is almost hard to explain exactly how 80 GB of storage can fit into an iPod that's the same size as the 60 GB model before it. However it happened, it means you can carry more music and video absolutely anywhere you go. And with a 60-percent brighter screen, the vibrant display gives your album art, photos, and video extra oomph. As always, iPod makes finding what you want to hear a breeze. Plus, a new interface lets you search your iPod using the patented Click Wheel. And if you're a fan of live albums, classical works, or anything that sounds best when it is played continuously, iPod supports gapless playback that seamlessly transitions from one song to another.
Music, Movies and TV Shows
Finding and playing music on your iPod is simple. Use the Click Wheel to adjust volume, navigate songs, or browse the Music menu by artists, composer, album, song, genre, or playlist. Want to mix things up? Simply click Shuffle Songs. iPod makes your music look as good as it sounds, thanks to its big, bright color display. Album art appears alongside your songs in the Now Playing screen, so you can see your music as you play it. After all, iPod loves music as much as you do.
Now you can watch a movie while waiting in line for tickets to one. Download movies from the iTunes Store, then sync them to your iPod to watch anywhere, anytime. The iPod's gorgeous display--now 60-percent brighter--makes your movies pop. And thanks to improved video playback time, iPod keeps you entertained for several hours--even longer if you reduce brightness using the new brightness control.
As for television programs, there's always something good on iPod. Browse thousands of episodes of your favorite TV shows on the iTunes Store, buy them for just a couple dollars each, then sync them to your iPod. Watch last night's episodes this morning, or buy a whole TV series and settle in for a pocket-size marathon. All your TV episodes display in order, so you can navigate them easily, and every episode you buy from iTunes is optimized to look great on the iPod's crystal-clear, 320 x 240-pixel display.
Podcasts, Audiobooks, Games, and Photos
The iTunes Store features thousands of free podcasts--radio-type shows you subscribe to--including indie favorites and offerings from big names such as, ABC News, Comedy Central, ESPN, PBS, NPR, and many more. Browse and subscribe to podcasts, then sync them to your iPod and listen anytime. Even video podcasts sync to go, and all your podcasts appear in their own menu on your iPod, so they're easy to navigate.
The iPod measures up nicely, and is over 30% thinner than the previous fourth generation.

The iTunes Store is the bridge between your iPod and all the content your heart desires.

The digital shelves of the iTunes Store are stocked with thousands of audiobooks, including such exclusives as the entire Harry Potter series. Download what you want, sync to your iPod and catch up on your reading the audio way. Just like podcasts, you can browse audiobooks in their own menu on your iPod. And your iPod automatically recognizes where you left off reading and bookmarks your place, so it is easy to dive back into the story. You can even change the reading speed to suit you--this is a perfect feature for learning a new language.
Now that the iTunes Store features iPod games, you can keep hours of fun at your fingertips. Download brand-new and classic games, including Bejeweled, Texas Hold 'Em, Vortex, Mahjong, Mini Golf, Pac-Man, Tetris, and Zuma, for just a few dollars each, then sync them to your iPod and play along with your favorite tunes. All iPod games from the iTunes Store are designed specifically for the fifth-generation iPod, and all of them look great on the 2.5-inch color display.
If you can fill your iPod with photos, then you've got a ton of images at your disposal. iPod holds tens of thousands of photos that you can sync from your Mac or Windows PC via iTunes. Use the Click Wheel to scroll through photo thumbnails the same way you scroll through song titles. To see a photo full-screen, just click the center button. You can even view photo slideshows--complete with music--on your iPod or on a TV via the optional iPod Video/Photo AV Cable. Select Slideshow Settings, choose the transition effect and the music, and then start the show.
Search, Settings, and Extras
With thousands of songs, audiobooks, and more on your iPod, you need an easy way to search and enjoy your collection. A brand-new, built-in search function lets you use the Click Wheel to type out the name of the song, artist, album, audiobook, or podcast you're looking for, and your iPod returns results instantly as you select letters--finding what you want couldn't be easier.
The fifth-generation iPod lets you customize menus, check capacity, change your language, change how your iPod sounds, and more, all from the easy-to-use Setting menu. Click About to see how many songs are on your iPod and how much room you have left. Click Main Menu to select what items appear in your Main Menu, tweak the built-in equalizer, or set a maximum volume limit--everything you need to personalize your iPod, from backlight timer to clicker sound effects, appear in Settings.
And, lastly, your iPod is loaded with extras. Everything from calendars, contacts, and the World Clock appear in the Extras menu, along with a few more handy items. Take the Screen Lock, for example. Spin the Click Wheel to choose a four-digit combination and protect your iPod from prying eyes. If you forget your combo, you can reset it at your next sync. Or use the built-in stopwatch to log your best times at the gym. And when it's finally time to play, the Extras menu lists all your games, including the ones you purchase from the iTunes Store.

This is the good one!.......2007-12-24
While the newest 6G iPod Classic offers some new features and a slim profile, this older 5.5G iPod is the best one currently available (12/24/07).
With a Wolfson DAC, a component not featured in new "classic" iPods, this 80GB iPod features the sound quality that made iPod a viable music listening platform. It also has a bright screen, good battery life, and the ability to play videos, photos, songs, games and more! It plays entire albums flawlessly with no gaps between tracks, a problem that plagued older iPods for years.
Finding a good deal on this unit is the best possible 80GB iPod purchase you can make until Apple hopefully fixes the 6G iPod sound problems. Let's keep our fingers crossed for the upcoming 7th generation.
Who are they kidding?.......2007-12-16
This has got to be a JOKE. As has been stated below, the pricing for this item is preposterous. I came here to buy the 5.5-gen iPod since I read many, many reviews branding the new Classic line an afterthought at best. How is it that this 5.5-gen product costs OVER $200 more than the most updated iPod out there? Give me a break, Amazon.
80GB iPod is worth your money.......2007-12-15
I purchased mine over a year ago and have been quite happy with it. It has never stopped working or anything just stores my music and videos perfectly. Maybe people should invest in a good cover for theirs though. I have a nice hard see through plastic one that has protected my ipod since i got it.
Ipod 80 gb........2007-12-07
Unfortunately the battery would not hold a charge. But the retun service was excellent. No hassles and the refund was made immediately upon receipt of the returned Ipod. I would use this company again.
Great for Audio (when not frozen), TERRIBLE FOR VIDEO.......2007-11-28
I have the 80gb Generation 5.5 iPod with video. I have had it for about a month now, & every time I have ever tried to play a video it would play for about a second, then get corrupted & freeze. When I go "back", trying to get to the menu, the entire iPod then FREEZES & no matter what you do it is completely unresolvably FROZEN until it runs out of juice and you plug it in to recharge it. This is pretty awful, since this is undoubtedly shortening the life of the battery considerably. Worse than that, the only fix anyone online has had for me so far was "Wait until the battery dies and then recharge it & it'll be fine", which I was - you can imagine - less than pleased with hearing, since I'd figured that much out frustratingly on my own. There has to be a better answer than that, or I'm going to feel pretty ripped off.

Loud but Bad Buy.......2007-11-21
These speakers definitely have volume, but they are far from practical. The main reason is that there is no charger built in to the speaker. In order to charge it, you have to wrap a regular Ipod charger into the bottom, pull it up, and then connect it to the Ipod. When I plug in my Ipod, I'm not trying to perform surgery. I returned this model and got the more modern Logitech. That at least has a charger. That one has its own problems, but that's for another review.
Eh... it's OK.......2007-10-19
Okay... this isn't great for my type of music which mostly consists of bass type music like breaks, hip hop, latin, electronic and trance. This is good if you listen to things like easy listening or jazz but for anything else i wouldn't recommend this.
Loved it!.......2007-08-25
I thought that the system was excellent. It was exactly what I was looking for. I have a Zune and, unfortunately, they do not have enough products that support it yet. Hopefully, they will release some supporting accessories soon. In the meantime, this is an excellent external speaker system. I was able to take it onto the beach on vacation and enjoy my music. The volume is little low, but not so low that we couldn't enjoy it. I was able to use it for both my Zune and my sons' Ipod. The price was very reasonable. Love the size of it. The carry case is great too. Not alot of extra adjustments, ie: treble or bass. I would highly recommend it.
Great sound and price.......2007-08-23
This is a very good sounding player for my iPod. The shipping was very fast.
What is is, a great portable player.......2007-08-22
Sound is quite acceptable for a portable unit. I have taken it to the park and sat out in my yard listening to this unit. Volume is good. I even put it on my night stand and watched downloaded TV shows. I used rechargable batteries and have yet to need to recharge them although I charged them once for the heck of it.
The case stores the AC unit in one end and the player in the case easily fits in a lap top bag. Can't wait to take it on business trips.
I wanted a quality portable unit and I got one!
It can play any mp3 player.
