Product Rating: 3.5 star(s) Altec Lansing inMotion IM9

Comments:
The Altec Lansing inMotion IM9 is the latest in Altec Lansing's now enormous line of iPod speakers. Dubbed the SUV of the line, this ruggedized iPod speaker/dock runs off of AC power or four C batteries. The perfect shape to toss into a backpack, it has e
