I must confess that most iPod speaker docks these days seem to be dry in terms of design - the Gear4 DUO takes a different route as the front speaker section can be unclipped from the main body of the DUO, functioning as a portable speaker setup thanks to the inclusion of a rechargeable battery. Of course, doing so would mean you lose the functionality of a 20W subwoofer which is housed within the main unit. There is no word from Gear4 on just how towering

the battery will last, but I don’t think it will be that weak. The DUO will come in black and silver finishing, hitting Europe that Friday for €200 while folks in the UK will have to fork out £150. A US release is in the works sometime later that year, and rest assured it won’t pass the $300 mark.
