The new Power Box iPod dock from Bosch looks more bizarre than anything else, but is billed as a "tough" iPod dock, for those who need something a big more rugged than the everyday dock.
Bosch says the Power Box "allows you to listen to your favourite music on the jobsite, while charging your iPod without cables, plugs and wires."
One of the most bizarre things about the Power Box is it's "roll cage", made of aluminium and plastic, the other is that users have to buy the iPod dock component separately.
Bosch, better known for making tools than music devices, boasts that it's Power Box can survive a ten-foot drop – they don't say whether an attached iPod would make it through such a drop unscathed.
However for multi-functionality, Bosch does seem to have covered all the bases, including a CD player and radio.
The Power Box itself retails for about £80, with the dock connector itself costing an extra £20.
