The Avi Stylix Streams Videos and Netflix from Your iPod
Michael Hines — March 24, 2011 — Tech
If you are looking for an iPod dock that does something more than look like a Nintendo controller or a piece of steampunk art, then you need to check out the Avi Stylix. The Avi Stylix is a multimedia iPod dock from Chinon that is designed specifically to entertain.
The Avi Stylix comes with all the standard docking features like an SD card slot, two speakers, a USB port and remote control. What sets the Avi Stylix apart is that it also has a built-in 7-inch LCD screen that can stream movies and Netflix straight from your iPod or iPhone. The only catch is that you will have to have an active WiFi connection on your device since the Avi Stylix is not built with WiFi detectors or Ethernet ports. You will also have to wait until June to get your hands on one. Still, those problems seem small, especially when you consider the Avi Stylix's low price of only $99.
