    One end of this cable connects Apple’s proprietary 30-pin connector and the the other end connects to an audio jack or mini USB port. You can then hook up any PMP or phone to any set of Apple speakers, thereby turning what once was an iPod-only party into one that supports Archos, Android, and anything else you can think of.

    It will be available for $30 on September 28th and should help folks who may want to send sound to their Bose SoundDocks or built-in car iPod docks. While the utility is limited, I do love the name: DockBoss. When I read it, I imagine the guy from the JEGS commercial is screaming it in an echo chamber.
