Today Altec Lansing announced the release of a new iPhone and iPod dock that’s designed to give users high-quality sound and the ultimate in portability. The new iMT630 ($150) is designed to be a fully-functional iPhone or iPod dock for the home, but to also provide great portability when necessary. The dock has a sleek, modern design and runs on a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that can give up to seven hours of portable playtime. Dual two-inch drivers give full stereo sound and a wireless remote allows users to control playback from across the room. 

The dock also works with Altec Lansing’s free iOS apps including the Music Mood app and the Alarm Rock app to enhance the user experience. Users can use preset options or an advanced seven-band graphic EQ to customize their experiences in the Music Mood app, or play sounds from the accessible ambient library. The Alarm Rock app turns the dock into a full-fledged digital alarm clock system, complete with snooze button, the ability to wake to your favorite songs, and a customizable interface.

While they may not be some of the longest-lasting smartphones on the market, modern iPhones boast more than respectable battery life that should be able to get you through an entire day's use without breaking too much of a sweat. Of course, that assumes a lot of things — including a battery that's still relatively new and in good health, plus a usage pattern that doesn't include all-day streaming or gaming.

But for some people, overnight charging isn't going to cut it, and you'll want to get your battery topped up again as quickly as you can so you can get back in action. Thankfully, every iPhone released in the past six years supports much faster charging, but the downside is that with very few exceptions, Apple has never supplied you with the right adapter to get the best possible charging speeds from your iPhone.
