The iPod Hi-Fi features handles for transporting, a removable front grille with precision-mounting clips, touch-sensitive volume control buttons and a universal power supply incorporated into the all-in-one design (so there's no bulky power brick to weigh it down) and the ability to power iPod Hi-Fi. It integrates with all iPods with a dock connector. It automatically recharges your iPod while docked and displays features of the iPod that maximize the iPod Hi-Fi experience such as Tone Control, Large Album Art mode and volume mirroring (though the first two features are only available with an iPod nano and 5G iPod).

The iPod Hi-Fi includes a dual-purpose 3.5-mm auxiliary input that accepts either analog or digital signals for connection to a variety of audio sources. Apple today also announced its own line of leather cases designed specifically for the 5G iPod and iPod nano models. The Leather Case for iPod is made with hand-crafted Italian leather.

The iPod Hi-Fi includes the Apple Remote, a removable grille, an AC power cord and 10 Universal Dock adapters, and is available for US$349. The Leather Case for iPod is available in 30GB and 60GB models as well as an iPod nano model, each for $99.
