Logitech AudioStations
Logitech has released two new iPod speaker systems featuring an iPod-style design and plug-and-play simplicity. Both new speakers carry the Logitech AudioStation brand name and compatibility with the iPod mini, iPod nano, and all fourth- and fifth-generation iPods, including the iPod color and iPod U2. The AudioStation features a built-in AM/FM tuner, offers the ability to charge the iPod charging powered by AC, includes touch-sensitive controls and an LCD screen for clock and information, and features 3D stereo sound technology, removable speaker grills, an audio 3.5mm input jack, composite and S-Video outputs, and a remote control. The $300 system includes Universal Dock adapters, a protective case, and AM/FM antennas. [images included]
The AudioStation Express ($130) offers more portability with the ability to run off battery power. The speaker system also features the ability charge a docked iPod (and itself) when powered by AC alongside a included wireless remote, 3.5mm audio input, video output, and a ten hour battery life using six AA batteries (not included). It also allows for easy, safe travel with an included case. Currently, neither system is available to ship -- to be notified as to when pre-orders are being taken, Logitech has provided users with a notification sign up on each product site.

Imitation is what??
That Audiostation Express™ sure does look a lot like the iPod HiFi.
The prices is more reasonable and it's likely smaller, but did they have to copy the form, colors and side handles?
