One of the best sounding iPod docks in its price range. Compact, elegant design. Dock rotates for horizontal iPod view. Connects to PC via USB so remote can control iTunes.
Only for iPhone, iPod touch, and recent iPods. Remote control is awkwardly shaped and lacks full iPod navigation. No video output.
For a $400 iPod speaker dock, the Zeppelin Mini lacks some features that an expensive unit should have—but it looks and sounds amazing....

Loud; compact form factor; on-board digital-to-analogue converter
Expensive; doesn't look or sound as good as the original Zeppelin
The Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini is a decent system, but we don't think it justifies its high asking price in the way that its larger sibling does. If you've got the space, we'd recommend you go for the original Zeppelin instead ...
Bowers and Wilkins has proved that it can produce superb iPod sound quality in a smaller chassis, while adding a few new features along the way. The Mini isn't as aesthetically striking as the original Zeppelin though, and it doesn't excel aurally to quit...
