I should have made that more clear. You only win ONE of these prizes, not all together.

Cool. I'd love just about any of them, but the Powermate and Powerwave are the coolest.

Griffin always makes excellent products. I have an iTrip and a Powermate and love them both.

Question though... I never understood the point of the iFire. I've never met anyone that actually thought the Apple Pro Speakers were good enough to buy for $60. You can buy much nicer 2-speaker systems for $60.

Agreed. The iFire is rather pointless considering the so called "Pro" speakers are anything but. At least mine suck anyway. They look nice, but that's about the only pleasant thing I can say. I think it's rather stupid of Apple to bundle a two-piece speaker system when Mac's are supposed to be digital media centers. Even many low budget PC's come with a subwoofer for music listening. Would it kill Apple to create a subwoofer to go with the Pro speakers? :roll:
