That’s the Mac version. As you can see the iConnect also has the requisite multimedia control keys. It also has a couple of USB ports – but since the keyboard connects via USB you’re really only gaining an extra port – and dedicated buttons to launch certain Mac apps such as iTunes, Mail and Safari.

And that’s the Windows version, which is similar to the Mac version but without the dedicated app buttons. Personally I think they’re hideous, but if you’re interested, iHome promises that both versions will be out “this summer” (I guess that’s early September at the latest) for $150 USD.

The iHome iP1 features a striking industrial design with two oversize cylindrical woofer chambers, poking through a sleek smoked acrylic faceplate which also houses a pair of high frequency drivers. An iPod/iPhone combo dock protrudes from the front of the acrylic panel, and the included remote lets you control all of the basic iPod features from across the room.

But the iP1 doesn’t rest its laurels on good looks. The system gets its audio chops by packing in BonGiovi Digital Power Station (no not that Bon Jovi) processing, which iHome claims provides the iP1 with serious sound in a compact package. The iP1 is powered by a 100-watt class D amplifier, and a pair of 4″ woofers and 1″ domed tweeters — plenty of power to annoy your neighbors when you crank it up to 11.

No price or release date was announced yet, but iHome expects to ship the iP1 soon.
