Pioneer has pulled their weight by offering a series of Slim Micro Systems that intertwine a myriad of connectivity options contributing to the charm of your flat screen TV with its sublime aesthetics.
The top of the range X-SMC5-K is an iPod/iPhone Micro System geared to the playback of music stored in Apple's iTunes. Compatible AirPlay technology will stream your iTunes library to the micro system, with your music being managed by a dedicated Air Jam App. Airplay will also stream music simultaneously to multiple Micro Systems, allowing users to place a few units throughout their home which can then be managed easily from their unifying iPhone.
For a fixed connection that'll charge your device simultaneously, there's a retractable dock on board. The idea of having a dock that slides out of sight when not in use is pretty sound, but when mounting your valuable iPhone onto it, the nerves begin to creep up as you worry about damaging either the phone or the dock itself. Using your passive hand to support the base of the dock-draw eases some of these nerves.
