Get big speaker sound from your Palm

Altec Lansing, maker of the inMotion portable speaker docks for iPod and other MP3 players, has come out with a new device aimed at people who want to listen to music stored on their Palm devices. The inMotion iMT1 Mobile Audio Dock is available now through retailers and the Altec Lansing Web site for $179.95.

Users can touch a button and dock their Palm device into the connector slot on the iMT1 to generate sound from the speakers. The iMT1 also can charge the Palm device and act as a speaker phone for the Treo 650. Data can be transferred between the iMT1 and the user's computer through a standard USB 2.0 port on the back of the iMT1. The system supports the Treo 650 (CDMA version), Tungsten T5 and E2, and the LifeDrive. A GSM-compatible version of the dock will be available later in the spring, Altec Lansing says.

The iMT1 is powered through an AC power adapter, although the system can switch to batteries (4 AA) if there's no power outlet around. Other audio devices, including CD, MP3 and portable DVD players, can also connect to the device through an input jack.
