iPod Hifi

Have any of you tried the new iPod Hifi from Apple? It looks interesting to me - at least they seem to have conceded that you need a reasonably large enclosure to get decent sound. Also the embeded amp is class D, which is somewhat of a trend in higher end solid state amps (Rowland, Nuforce).

Prpixel - please elaborate your comment on "looks like Bose designed it". Did you mean from the way it looks, or the cutaway of the internals, or the driver choices, etc..?
Thanks,
Art
ps: I wonder if it's in stores now.

I heard it in a store today. To me it sounded better than the other products aimed at iPod with powered speakers. But I've not heard any of the better ones, like from monitor. Still it was a breath of fresh air as I find the smaller ones difficult to enjoy. I think I could enjoy this piece. Still, if I decide to use iPod as a home source I'd probably get a cheap integrated and small speakers.
