Soon every object you own will have some sort of iPod compatibility function. You can already connect and control Apple's MP3 player to alarm clocks, coats and even cooler bags. But Denon's new S-101 home cinema system is a far more practical and polished 'Pod-loving piece of kit.The S-101 comprises of a fully kitted out progressive scan DVD player, a pair of funky flat speakers and a denture-dislodging 100W sub. All good. But its killer feature is how overtly amorous it is towards iPod.

First off, it connects with every member of the iPod family except for the shuffle via the iPod's dock connector, bypassing the headphone socket in order to kick out the finest quality sound. Once hooked up, you can completely control your iPod using the Denon remote hanset. That's only the half of it. See, the S-101 displays a virtual iPod on your telly that displays all your track listings and even the iPod controls. Then there's the fact that you can use it to view snaps that you've got stored on it. Oh, and it charges the bleedin' thing too.
