Philips launches Speaker docks with Lightning connectors


Little by little, third-party device makers are introducing docking solutions specific to Apple's new Lightning connector. There are a number of solutions to bridge newer devices to 30-pin docks, but for those who want a integrated solution or buying new, might as well get the latest dock interface.

The lineup announced by Philips features four different docks across a range of features. The low-end DS115 will retail for $90, the DS3205 and DS7580 is $130, while the DMC2067 isn't priced yet.
